“Are y’all seeing what I’m seeing?” wrote a TikTok user who made a shocking discovery at a local Chinese buffet. This user was astounded to find dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets being served. With sesame seeds and sauce covering the nuggets, they appeared quite appetizing. However, the user couldn’t believe their eyes and decided to record a video to see how others would react to this surprising buffet offering.

The video was brief and straightforward. The TikToker focused the camera on the sesame seed-coated dinosaur nuggets and employed various features on TikTok to create a clip that quickly went viral. Using the text-to-voice feature, the user narrated the initial line of this article. The camera then zoomed in multiple times to give a detailed view of the nuggets, which were unmistakably taken from a grocery store’s frozen food section and repurposed for the buffet.

Shared across TikTok, Reddit, Twitter, and other platforms, the video garnered over two million views and more than one hundred thousand likes, along with thousands of comments.

“That would be worse than an infestation! I mean, we can just buy them from the grocery store!” exclaimed one user.

Others seemed more forgiving, saying they would gladly eat them if they were the only option available.

“Dino nuggets over no food. I mean, they look pretty good too!” shared another.

One person even joked about heading out to buy dinosaur nuggets and sesame seeds after watching the video.

“I’m getting me some Dino nuggets. Yum! I might just go buy sesame seeds and chicken, too, while we’re at it. #yummyinmytummy.”

The video attracted more than ten thousand comments from users who were both amused and stunned by the restaurant’s use of dinosaur nuggets. One person mentioned that they would scoop up all the sesame seed dino nuggets if they stumbled upon them at the buffet.

“I would one hundred percent eat dino nugget sesame chicken,” they commented.

Another delighted user noted, “I don’t care that they used dino nuggets. I just wanna see how good they taste.”

“Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious,” another TikToker joked.

“Okay, but that honestly looks really good,” said another.

“Chicken shortage so real that they replaced it with prehistoric meat,” quipped yet another commenter.

“Bruh, not the dino nuggets,” someone else chipped in.

One individual highlighted that supply chain issues and inflation are hitting restaurants and other businesses hard, along with consumers.

“Oh my God, dino nuggets? This inflation is insane,” they wrote.

While some expected the clip to have a gross-out factor, others were concerned that the chicken nuggets might be infested with maggots or other insects.

“Me looking for maggots. ‘Is that a dino nugget?’” another person pondered.
