Claim 1: “you're not allowed to eat McNuggets on roller coasters”
MISLEADING
The claim suggests a general rule or law ('you're not allowed'), but the evidence shows that a specific YouTuber (Allen Ferrell) was banned for life from Six Flags parks after eating chicken nuggets on a roller coaster. There is no evidence of a universal ban on McNuggets on all roller coasters, only that this specific action led to a ban for one individual at a specific chain.
