I’m sure some of you are confused by the title of this post, and are probably thinking, “What could my boob job and chicken McNuggets possibly have in common?” Why, polydimethylsiloxane of course! So what is polydimethylsiloxane? It is just a fancy way of saying “anti-foaming agent.”

It’s found in hair conditioners, caulk, silly putty, Pam Anderson, and McDonald’s chicken nuggets. If you somehow find yourself in London, however, fear not. No McDonald’s in the U.K. uses this ingredient in their nuggets. It’s only in the states that there is poly-whatever as well as more oil and fat. #AintthatAmerica.

So, next time you’re thinking of heading over to a McDonald’s, think twice before you order nuggets. I mean, they might taste great, but think of what you’re really eating. Part boob job, part chicken paste. For more information on what chicken paste is, check out this video.

It may seem like discrimination is a thing of the past, but recently two fast food giants have angered customers by appearing to have engaged in both racist and offensive practices at their chains.

A young boy in England was offended when his receipt at Dominos read “Ginger Kid” instead of his name, Ross. The pizza joint claimed it was not meant for him to see, saying the employee used this description to identify Ross because children sometimes give fake names to confuse the staff. Ross’s parents believe the statement on the receipt to be a form of discrimination and state that Ross has been teased at school by classmates.

Elsewhere, someone posted a picture of a hoax announcement at McDonald’s stating, “As an insurance measure due in part to a recent string of robberies, African-American customers are now required to pay an additional fee of $1.50 per transaction.” The picture got tweeted and emailed around the Internet.
