In a survey conducted among 68,689 U.S. users of CivicScience’s digital properties, half of the respondents expressed enthusiasm for dipping chicken nuggets in sauce, while 17% firmly opposed the practice. This survey offers a detailed look into the demographics and preferences of nugget enthusiasts and detractors alike.
Among those who relish the saucy experience, a nearly even gender split emerges, with 49% male and 51% female respondents. In contrast, those who shun the practice show a similar gender distribution, with 48% male and 52% female. This suggests that gender does not significantly influence one’s stance on nugget dipping.
Income levels reveal intriguing patterns. The largest group of sauce fans earns between $0 and $29,999 annually, accounting for 18% of enthusiasts. Conversely, only 1% of fans fall within the $300,000 to $399,999 bracket. Those who reject dipping show a slightly different income distribution, with 20% earning between $50,000 and $74,999, indicating a modestly higher income level among non-fans.

Urbanicity also plays a role in dipping preferences. Fans predominantly reside in suburban areas, making up 45% of the group, while 28% live in rural settings. City dwellers constitute 25% of the fan base. Non-fans, however, are more likely to live in rural areas, with 32% residing there, compared to 20% in cities and 42% in suburbs.
Parental status offers another layer of insight. Among fans, 44% are parents, and 23% are grandparents. In contrast, non-fans include 32% parents and 36% grandparents, suggesting that family dynamics might influence dipping preferences.
Education levels among fans show that 26% have some college experience without a degree, while 24% hold a bachelor’s degree. Non-fans display a similar educational profile, with 24% having some college experience and 21% possessing a bachelor’s degree. This indicates that education level does not significantly sway dipping preferences.
Age distribution highlights notable differences. Fans are predominantly aged 35 to 44, making up 18% of the group, while 20% are aged 45 to 54 and 55 to 64. Non-fans skew older, with 28% aged 65 or older, suggesting that younger individuals might be more inclined to enjoy dipping.
Overall, the survey reveals that while dipping chicken nuggets in sauce is a popular choice, preferences vary across demographics. Income, urbanicity, and age appear to influence these preferences more than gender or education. As dipping enthusiasts continue to savor their saucy indulgence, the data suggests that personal and demographic factors subtly shape this culinary choice.
