Tyson Chicken Nuggets in the shapes of dinosaurs. Yum! My grandkids and I have enjoyed biting the heads off of stegosaurus and nibbling on the tails of the T-Rex many times over the years.

You might want to check your freezer, though, if you have a stash of these pre-historic-styled snack foods, as certain batches sent to several states including California, are now extinct and recalled by the chicken giant after several customers bit down on more than they bargained for.
