The actual deal is this: You get 11 nuggets ( in a nine nugget box )
			 An EXTRA large fries, and 
			 A large coke for 3.69

The boxes in my area ( central CA ) are printed with a small extra banner
that states you get 11 nuggets, while the rest of the box says 9.

As to whether it is a rip off or not well, one man's garbage is another's
gourmet........ ( 3.69 is a little steep for parts of a chicken but
				parts is parts... :-)
