This is without a doubt the strangest news story we've brought to you this year, but it's not as strange as somebody shelling $100,000 on eBay for a chicken nugget - because they have.
The 'unique' nugget resembles the shape of a crewmate in Among Us and gained some traction from the game's social media account. Xbox even replied saying it hopes the nugget comes with some Szechuan Sauce - a limited edition sauce at McDonalds that tied into Rick & Morty.
The bid of $34,443.43 from earlier this week was quickly met with competition, as it finally sold for $99,997.00, which is roughly £70,000. Following Xbox's reply to the tweet, the seller also claimed they do in fact have some Szechuan Sauce, and is even willing to throw it in at the buyer's request.
"Xbox’s Twitter replied to the official Among us twitter that had posted about it and mentioned that it had better come with szechuan sauce if it sells for this price.. Jokes on them.. I have Szechuan and at buyers request will ship some with the nugget."
It's been described as used (yuck!) and apparently originated from the BTS combo meals that are available in select territories at McDonalds, so it's kind of a double whammy with its exclusivity. Either way, it's pretty gross and we're not really sure what anyone is going to do with a $100,000 chicken nugget, but whatever floats your boat, we guess?

SzechUan Sauce.
and you Xbox found this news worthy enough you just had to tell us.......lol so ridiculous. i think there are much more important informative gaming news worthy. events and things happening that you could be informing us all about
I weep for humanity..
Surely the transaction won't go through....if I saw something like this I would be oh it looks like 'insert word' then I'd eat it....maybe I should reconsider if there are but jobs out there with cash to burn
@phoenix1 It's just a bit of light-hearted fun for a Friday before the weekend 🙂
Don't worry, there will be plenty to keep us occupied next week!
Oh f**k off. I despair, I really do.
A fool and their money are soon parted.
@phoenix1 not many exciting news recently, game companies are clearly saving it for E3 next week.
When I hear about this I am reminded by the way some people have truly way too much money and can't seem to find stupid enough ways to waste it.
It's just sad to think of all the needy people this $100,000 could have fed instead of using it to buy some chicken nugget that doesn't even look like an Among Us character.
I’m sure starving orphans will appreciate this
