Heres Your New Dream Job: Chicken Nugget Connoisseur

A U.K.-based supermarket chain is currently looking to hire a “Chicken Nugget Connoisseur.” Get your CV ready and your cardiologist on speed dial.

Do you live for KFC? Have ~thoughts~ about McNuggets versus Chick-Fil-A? Can you tell one fast-food outlet’s nuggets from another’s just by their shape and breading? Ever said (possibly while under the influence of substances) that you wish you could eat nuggets all day, every day? If so… oh boy, are we about to make your day.
B&M, a UK-based chain of discount supermarkets, is seeking a chicken nugget taster. They’ll soon be launching a new range of fresh and frozen foods in their stores, and they’re looking for someone to give them feedback on their chicken nuggets.

The posted job description details what they consider to be relevant experience, including:
Getting the 20 share box of nuggets from McDonalds and keeping them all for yourself.
Being the first in the office kitchen whenever someone says there’s cake.
That time you tripped and fell at a buffet and saved the plate before yourself.
Going to an event or party because there is free food.
You value the importance of a fish finger sandwich in life.
You can conduct a power point presentation on the reasoning behind curly fries being nicer than chips.
Sound like you? Send them a paragraph on why you deserve the gig. And if you get chosen, please, please let us know—we’re dying to hear all about it.
Maybe don’t quit your day job, though: The pay for this dream gig comes in the form of grocery store vouchers.
