Joey Fatone and Lance Bass said their specific fast-food routines for curing hangovers ahead of their new television series [1].
The revelations come as the former *NSYNC members prepare to co-host "Cocktail Wars," a competition show centered on mixology. Given the nature of the series, the hosts said the necessity of finding quick recovery methods after nights of drinking [1, 2].
Fatone detailed a specific order from McDonald's to combat the effects of alcohol. He said, "You ready? Double quarter-pounder with cheese and 20-piece chicken McNuggets" [1]. The order includes a 20-piece nugget set [1].
Bass prefers a different chain for his recovery. He said he prefers In-N-Out [1, 2].
The pair shared these tips during a promotional window for the E! Network show. The series is scheduled to premiere on Aug. 18 [1].
While the two stars have different tastes in fast food, both rely on calorie-dense meals to recover. Their roles as co-hosts of a cocktail-themed competition place them in a position where managing the aftermath of alcohol consumption is a recurring theme of their professional environment [1, 2].
“"You ready? Double quarter-pounder with cheese and 20-piece chicken McNuggets."”
The promotion of 'Cocktail Wars' leverages the personal chemistry and relatable habits of Fatone and Bass to build audience engagement. By discussing the less glamorous side of cocktail culture—the hangover—the hosts humanize their roles before the competition begins.
