- Walmart shopper buys Great Value chicken nuggets — she noticed one major issue with what was inside it (marketrealist.com)
A local TikTok user, known as Mac, is calling out Walmart’s Great Value chicken nuggets. In a video, Mac shows viewers a plate of seemingly cooked nuggets.
After tearing one open, she reveals it’s completely hollow, just breading and air. She then opens another with the same result, questioning how this could happen.
Commenters on the video expressed a mixture of shock and amusement. Some joked about the nuggets being just the “concept” of chicken, while others suggested Mac overcooked them. One user offered a more serious explanation, saying overcooking can cause hollowness, though not to this extreme.
This isn’t the first time Walmart’s Great Value brand has faced scrutiny. A Reddit post from last year showed similar hollow nuggets. The brand has also been accused of misleading packaging, with one TikTok user highlighting orange juice jugs that appear to be a gallon but actually contain less.
This incident comes amidst rising costs and concerns about “shrinkflation,” where product sizes decrease while prices remain the same or even increase. Mac’s video has sparked a conversation about quality control and consumer expectations, particularly regarding budget-friendly brands.
