Those are limited edition nuggets! Time to bust out the McDonald's szechuan sauce I have stored since 1998.

I found a sweet and sour sauce at the supermarket that replicates the McDonalds one really well. Always have a bottle of it in the fridge.

u/guessesurjobforfood Dec 07 '22
Not sure what region you’re in, but I’m in the EU. The brand is Develey and it’s just called Sweet and Sour Sauce.

u/Ok-Finance-7612 Haha yes boys! Dec 07 '22
Sweet and sour with McDonald’s fries is the best combo

u/a-kiwi-fan Minardi Dec 07 '22
I prefer nuggets with the sweet and sour sauce, but the fries go a little bit better with their curry sauce imo

Ya im sure they are, ever see a McDonald's cheeseburger after a year, archeologist will be finding those in 100000 years and then someone will explain how McDonald's was using alien technology to make their food un-spoilable. I just don't smell it when dipping the limited edition nuggets though, bit rough, and need to scoop the top layer off, idk how to even describe it.

unrelated but why is the packaging in english if its being sold and marketed in norway?

u/kris33 Dec 07 '22 edited Dec 07 '22
That's modern Norwegian for you.
Actually for all the general terms there, "fast food", "spicy", "nuggets", "limited edition" - we mostly only use the English variants. Translating those words would be weird on packaging. We associate fast food and dumb marketing with Americans, translating it doesn't really work.
"Begrenset utgave av rask mat med sterke kyllingklumper" would sound extremely stiff.

He’s basically our first and only serious F1 contender. He’s gotten quite a lot of coverage after DTS’s success.

u/YoyoEyes Dec 07 '22
I keep forgetting that KMag is Danish instead of Norwegian.
32
u/FalconIMGN Alex Jacques Dec 07 '22
Probably because people keep overusing the 'Viking' moniker for KMag. For English people, any Nordic person is a Viking.
28
u/AxePlayingViking Kevin Magnussen Dec 07 '22
Are you implying that Danes weren't Vikings? Lol
15
u/FalconIMGN Alex Jacques Dec 07 '22
I mean that most of the original Viking invaders in England were from Norway, not that Danes weren't Vikings. But other tribes from Denmark invaded Britannia, such as Angles, from whom the name 'England' comes.
23
u/AxePlayingViking Kevin Magnussen Dec 07 '22
So one might say that the "viking" moniker is just as relevant to use about a Danish person as a Norwegian...
4
u/FalconIMGN Alex Jacques Dec 07 '22
Yes, but I'm pretty sure the commenter I replied to isn't Norwegian, else they wouldn't mistake KMag as a Norwegian.

u/YoyoEyes Dec 07 '22
Also because Magnussen is a common enough Norwegian surname and it's easy to forget that Denmark exists lol

u/Issah_Wywin George Russell Dec 07 '22
I think fondly of Denmark every day. It's the strong, play hard work hard older brother that took care of Norway while they were on hard times, raised them back up alongside themselves and after being roommates with Sweden and Finland together for a bit, managed to establish themselves independently. Without Denmark we'd just be provincial Sweden.

u/Zlazor Sebastian Vettel Dec 07 '22
He's extremely popular. Only Erling Haaland has a bigger sponsor appeal than him in Norway atm, even beating Casper Ruud (tennis) , Viktor Hovland(golf) and Magnus Carlsen.
37
u/BunnyCatLove Alexander Albon Dec 07 '22
Tbh I don't think he is that recognizable outside of a certain demographic of young men.
Ødegaard and Carlsen are definitely better known regardless of the sponsorship money, which arguably has more to do with the sport he is competing in.
Tennis and Golf just aren't really big in Norway which isn't shocking considering the climate. Chess never had the sponsorship money that traditional sports do.
→ More replies5
u/Issah_Wywin George Russell Dec 07 '22
Chess got a surge in media coverage when Magnussen struck it big, and while formula 2 is really good, it isn't formula 1, or the WRC. Rally and Formula 1 will both draw attention. As a nation I feel like motorsports has more room to grow. It's just such a contradictory thing to the climate friendly image Norway fosters, so media might be a bit shy about putting it on prime time TV.

u/AndreasV8 Dec 07 '22
Not yet. He has to make it into F1 before he is ahead of those people (including a lot of others ) Most people in Norway have no clue who he is.

u/Zlazor Sebastian Vettel Dec 07 '22
Atle Gulbrandsen (president the Norwegian motorsport asosiation) said in interviews that only Haaland was above, and he knows Hauger and his team really well. I'm not saying his more famous, just a bigger sponsor target.

u/AndreasV8 Dec 07 '22
Currently there is no way he has more pull than the current nr 3 in tennis and 9th in golf. I highly doubt he has more pull than even some in more niche sports like Sander Sagosen (handball) or Klæbo(skiing). There are also Karsten Warholm and Jakob Ingebrigtsen who are miles ahead in global or local sponsor recognition. I could probably make a list of 20 Norwegian athletes he is behind until he gets to F1 or at least much more success in F2.

u/VampireFrown Robert Kubica Dec 07 '22
Nope; F2 drivers in general are completely irrelevant (in the nicest way possible, I swear) to the public eye.
Bear in mind that most of the public in almost any country can only name like three F1 drivers, one of whom is Michael Schumacher.
The only people who will have heard of him are people interested in motorsport. It's very unusual for a pre-F1 driver to be known in Europe.
31
u/Hansemannn Dec 07 '22
In general yes. In a small country as Norway, Hauger is indeed known very well.
Hes on the news when he wins a F2 race etc.
We live of hope here in Norway. He has the potential to be an F1 driver and thsts big.

u/possums101 McLaren Dec 07 '22
Well every other reply disagrees with you. Also this nugget company didn’t pay him to be on this packaging for fun. It’s a marketing ploy. They must have reasonable evidence that says this was a smart business decision.
4
u/VampireFrown Robert Kubica Dec 07 '22
Nobody is disagreeing with me. They're making the point that this guy in particular attracts interest in Norway because he's their closest shot to F1.
...In contrast to your point, which was 'Formula 2 drivers have this much clout in Europe?'. My reply specifically addressed 'in Europe'.
This driver is an exception to the norm.
4
u/jonpacker Oscar Piastri Dec 07 '22
I’ve been really surprised by this actually. Lots of people I wouldn’t have suspected know who he is. He’s the only thing a lot of people know about racing (plus Petter Solberg). When I talk to football people and tell them I’m into F1, they bring up Hauger. He’s a lot better known than I expected. Makes sense I guess though given the amount of coverage he’s had on national TV.

u/Rotorhead87 Dec 07 '22
I ordered Thai spicy once. You know what? I ate almost the whole thing. I had a pile of drenched napkins next to me, though.
The owner actually chewed out the waiter for serving it to me (I'm very white), but I proved them wrong. Kinda.
Interesting story though - just went to a Thai restaurant with don't friends who are Thai. The medium that day was noticeably hotter than the medium I normally get.

Yup more or less. Extra hot at restaurants usually mean slightly spicy. This is after all a land of white people that find cabbage spicy.

u/Cody667 McLaren Dec 07 '22
If Hauger gets to F1, Norway would really be spoiled with their star power in International sports.
Casper Ruud is world #3 in Tennis and got to 2 grand slam finals this year, then of course you've got Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard tearing up the EPL right now. Adding an F1 driver to that mix would be something.

Over the course of a year, including the off-season, they will have plenty of cheat days. If f1 drivers can get piss-drunk on an off-week, surely an f2 driver can eat some nuggets every once in a while.

From a mini interview with Verstappen: they don't do too much strength training because it bulks up, but longer distance cycling is popular; kind of difficult to get enough food energy in when you have a lot of endurance in cycling. These are baked nuggets containing 14% fat, 23% carb of which 2 sugar, and 13% protein, totalling 519kcal for the whole package.

Asking the important question…Is there real meat in there or are they made with processed chicken slime?
16
u/Meerkate Kevin Magnussen Dec 07 '22
This brand (Den Stolte Hane/"The Proud Rooster") and many like it do put a lot of money and resources into at least making consumers feel like they're making sustainable grocery choices - as OP said, Norway is strict on animal welfare policies, on paper. This should also result in a better quality, less "slimy" processed product.
Whether these producers actually manage to keep such promises is another debate. Luckily the country's population isn't huge and the economy is rather solid, so although demand for meat keeps rising, production facilities should be able to produce decent quality products while upholding an arguably reasonable quality standard. Green alternatives are also becoming more popular so meat producers need to be able to meet demands from a younger generation.

u/Slippynippy69 Mercedes Dec 06 '22

English writing is somewhat common to see in Norway, some things just sound better that way, and something’s don’t have a direct translation. In this case I think it’s written in English because of F1/F2s international popularity
