[…] I asked the man behind the counter if the Steak Nuggets were such a hasty retreat because they were unpopular with his diners. He said the following: “Well, we were one of the last stores to have those things, because nobody bought ’em.”

    It’s trying to handle ozempic diets.

    People on ozempic have much lower appetites than normal and it is affecting their protein intake. Meal items like this are meant to appeal to those looking for a quick protein bump.

      Back in my day you just blended powder into a smoothie, but apparently that’s too much work.

        I for one would much rather eat actual food than a protein shake. I get so sick of those things even when I vary how I make them.

            Nah, I’d take nuggets or beef jerky or a can of tuna over a protein shake any time. The only time protein powder is tolerable is when it’s mixed with oatmeal which defeats the purpose of just trying to bump your protein intake.
