I am not sure whether they were chicken nuggets or tater tots.
We need some clarification on this. Discuss.

I initially thought they were chicken nuggets, but when they zoomed in on them, they looked more like some variation of tater tots.

I don't really like the Skylar character either, but I don't think it's an acting issue. We're not supposed to be enamoured with her. While it would be nice if she could just embrace the criminal life and become the Bonnie to Walt's Clyde, it would take away from the little bit of realism that they need for the show.
She is the one negative variable that Walt has no control over and as such, she can ruin the fun at any moment. The show needs that mystery and tension I think. It can't all be cops and robbers.

It also adds a nice element of irony to the show. Walt claims everything he's doing is for his family, but his family is horrified by what he's doing. It helps drive home the point that Walt is simply engaging in diluted rationalization and he's primarily motivated by his own ego.

To me they looked like nuggets. In particular, you could hear the crunch sound as Schuler took each bite. As well, when I eat taters, I eat them whole. I think he was eating half at a time. As well, since Madrigal is a parent company of Los Pollos Hermanos, it would make sense that the food in question was a chicken nugget. When it showed the camera shot from below as he picked them from the jar, they looked circular like a nugget. I can't find an image, but I'll watch my recording again tonight to confirm. I'm on it guys.

FYP
Wives: the ruiners of all fun things since the beginning of time. Its just a bit of large scale drug manufacturing and distribution. Stop being such a wet blanket, Skyler. COME ON!

Since they were taking down the LPH sign, I'm pretty sure they've stopped product development for LPH.

I keep wondering when Walt is going to realize he needs a moll, preferably the drug-addled crazy violent type, to complete his bad-ass image.

I dislike Skyler because she cheated on Walt and threatened to take his children away from him.

I am kind of surprised that Skyler cheated on Walt, Walt found out, and he never cheated on her.
I would have thought with his ego, and quest for power he'd want to get even with Skyler and show Jesse/Saul/Mike/Gus/etc that he's the man and can hook up with the hot young ones.

I don't know if he's really that guy. Plus he couldn't give her grounds for the divorce at that point. He knew his larger secret was safe, and he wanted to stay married, he couldn't rock the boat.
Plus he made that clumsy pass at his schools VP, and that got him fired/made to take a lease of absence.

I'm rewatching Breaking Bad from the beginning and I'm at the beginning of season 3. I thought this was easily in the top 4 shows of all time, but upon rewatching the first two seasons, so far it is second only to the wire, I mean this is just brilliant stuff.

I would think Madigral would have a better site.
Obviously the save Walter White site was bad, and the Saul site was cheesy, but
