I Bought the McNugget Tetris from McDonald’s China
Over the years, both McDonald's and Tetris have been two brands that have transcended their original self. When you combine both you're sure to get something magical.
I wish we would have had something like this for us in the '80s but here we are in 2023.
A plastic Chicken McNugget that plays Tetris.
This was a Chinese exclusive but I knew I had to have it so I pulled a few strings, made a few phone called, cashed in on a few long-time favors... and none of that helped. In the end, I just went to eBay and bought one from a reseller.
Well, what I can I say. It's Tetris! It's a little version of Tetris complete with rotate button and a few other buttons to either slide the pieces left or right along with one that makes it drop quicker and one that makes it drop all the way down immediately if you're feeling daring.
This was such a unique item I knew I had to have it in my video game collection. I mean, why not? Tetris has been available in the arcade, on computers, on NES and the original Game Boy and they're still making new versions of Tetris on all the modern consoles. At the end of the day Tetris is just Tetris but I keep rebuying it every time as I love it.
They even have Tetris championships which are amazing to watch live. It's insane.
But not nearly as insane as this Chicken McNugget that plays Tetris from McDonald's.
Maybe next time we'll get a McRib that plays Minecraft. Who knows.
