[@ariel3725]

When they released this meal, I was puzzled. How is it related to BTS? Is it because they like to eat chicken nuggets? What's the explanation for the two sauces. I'm sure the Army has answers for that.

[@0hHellia]

not really entirely related to bts but i’m pretty sure the sauces are flavours from korea which they want to incorporate into the meal as something a lil unique. as for why they chose nuggets, they wanted to take into consideration the different dietary restrictions and religious practices (eg cant eat pork or beef) so chicken is the best choice.

[@Charlotte-xk5vt]

Yea tbh I agree

[@0hHellia]

@@audeamus7388 you mean why mcdonald’s decided to collaborate with bts?

[@sxyj5620]

Not an army but what I heard was that the combi was the go-to order for the BTS members when they have macs. For sauces wise - i think is just something they have on permanent menu in Korea to go with nuggets typically and not in SG (seems like fresh to us). It like how they don't have the legendary macs curry sauce we have here.

[@user-sh8ms1kp1c]

@@0hHellia I think he meant how is the nuggets sauce and bts meal related.

Your friendly reminder that the BTS meal is literally chicken McNuggets meal with different sauce and packaging

[@rdu239]

Its a just mcnugget meal that was upsized beyond your control (if you are not a fast food addict) with a fancy cajun dip and purple packaging and purple cup. Not sure if SG has this but there is a paper "BTS certificate" included on every BTS meal you order at our country.

That's the problem with TheSmartLocal at times. Some people there sometimes think everything is marketing speak with the product being sponsored and can't seem to say what they actually feel. Or in other words, can't be honest to the viewers. Luckily this time, I get the chance to taste the McDonald's nugget sauces first prior to this video being uploaded and get to see who in TSL will side with the viewers and not 'influence' the viewers to buy something that you know will be a waste of money to the viewers and that they themselves do not wholly support. I've been burnt by their 'influence' with their convincing looks like a certain coffee brand's coffee was soo good. Turns out, to be more milky than actual coffee taste. People like Amanda is great. She was being frank but she was holding back as to not bash it completely. Like they had to sponsor this BTS meal like that. That is the worry that I see. With great influence, please be more responsible of what you are sponsoring. You are influencing people to buy a certain type of product that is not worth it and can sink other products and businesses which are actually selling a better product than this for the same or even better price. I hate it when I see people outright lie to the viewers just to protect a company's behind as opposed to viewers who might not have much cash to spare and have now just bought something which turns out to be a total waste. Amanda, thank you for being frank. Appreciate your honesty. And to those liars and others who give some sort of face but do not want to outright say it, shame on you. You are the problem with the Influencer industry. And completely irresponsible and an overall outright liar. And PS, that Sweet Chilli Sauce does not taste like any chilli sauce you can get outside. It tastes like Thai Sweet Chilli but is thicker and a LOT more sweeter. And as for the Cajun Sauce, it tastes like a watered down mustard with a hint of wasabi of some sort? But these 2 are not anywhere near the Curry Sauce taste. The Sweet Chilli Sauce especially was overall bad that I skipped it entirely after a few dips. The Cajun, even though bad, was edible but it made me miss Curry Sauce on every bite. And that's the honest truth.
