McDonald's has revealed that their Chicken McNuggets come in four different shapes - shattering the illusions that the shapes are simply random.
A video released by McDonald's Canada showed the nuggets being processed in a factory - with each shaped deliberately into one of four natural-looking forms.
And a spokesmanfor the company has revealed the reasoning behind the varying shapes, explaining that they were designed deliberately and that each nugget actually has a name.

The crunchy treats are known as either the "bell", the "boot", the "bone" and the "ball" although the nuggets seem to have slightly different names in different countries.
On a Q&A forum on McDonald's website one patron of the restaurant, called Stew from British Columbia, Canada, asked the company: "Why do your Chicken McNuggets only come in four shapes?"
The spokesman replied: "The four shapes we make Chicken McNuggets in was the perfect equilibrium of "dipability" and fun.
"Three would've been too few. Five would've been, like, wacky."
On a different occasion a spokesman again stressed that the nuggets are designed for dipping and to be fun for kids.
