A screenshot of a Bluesky post by Mat Piscatella (@matpiscatella.bsky.social) dated September 10, 2026.The text of the post reads: “With an average saucey:nuggie ratio of .1375, we really are talking about egregious levels of sauce preciousness here. Bonkers that the 10 piece nuggie gets a 0.2 saucey:nuggie ratio, but the 40 piece falls to a baffling 0.1. A 0.2 ratio or below should really be considered borderline criminal.”
Below the text is a chart titled “SAUCE POLICY.”
I think you can write a letter to Nature to make them amend the results of the previous study. The peer-review process failed on this one.
Ideally, sauceologists should run a meta-analysis to definitively determine the ideal ratio. There is a possibility of a regional difference, and older studies might have higher ratios to compare to, and we’re lacking data on special limited edition sauces.
