“Can anyone else see what I’m seeing?” wrote a TikTok user who had found out at a local Chinese buffet about something startling. This user expressed horror upon seeing chicken nuggets presented in the shape of dinosaurs. With the sauce and sesame seeds on top, the nuggets appeared pretty excellent. The user, however, was shocked by what they witnessed and decided to record a video to see how other people responded to this surprise buffet offering.
The video was concise and easy to follow. The user focused the camera on the dinosaur nuggets covered in sesame seeds using a range of TikTok features, creating a movie that quickly went viral. The user used the text-to-voice tool to narrate the opening sentence of this article. Then, the camera kept zooming in to give a close-up of the nuggets, which were clearly purchased and used for the buffet from a grocery store’s frozen food section.
Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, and other platforms all saw the video posted. It was viewed over two million times, garnered over 100,000 likes, and thousands of comments.
That would be more serious than an infestation! “I mean, we can just buy them from the grocery store!” exclaimed one commenter.
Some seemed more understanding, saying they would gladly eat them if they were the only thing on hand.
“Dino nuggets over food.” “I mean, they look pretty good too!” exclaimed a second.
Someone even joked about getting sesame seeds and dinosaur nuggets after watching the video.
“I am heading to get some Dino nuggets.” Delectable! I might as well buy some chicken and sesame seeds while we’re at it. #fulfillinginmytank
In their shocked and amused comments, over ten thousand people shared the video on social media. The eatery was using dinosaur nuggets. Someone mentioned that they would devour all of the sesame seed dinosaur nuggets if they chance to find them at the buffet.
“I would definitely eat dino nugget sesame chicken,” they declared.
“It doesn’t matter that they used dinosaur nuggets,” exclaimed a delighted user. I just want to taste them.
“Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious,” jokingly said another TikToker.
Another person responded, “Okay, but that really looks really good.”
Another commentator made the joke, “Chicken shortage so real that they replaced it with prehistoric meat.
“You mean, not the dinosaur nuggets?” another person said.
One person brought up the point that customers, as well as businesses such as restaurants, are being severely impacted by supply chain problems and inflation.
“Dino nuggets, oh my god? They wrote, “This inflation is ridiculous.”
Some were worried that the chicken nuggets would be contaminated with maggots or other insects, while others anticipated the video to be offensive.
“I’m searching for maggots.” “Is that a dinosaur nugget?” inquired someone else.
