12-year-old McDonald's hamburger, still looking good

I bet it made an interesting conversation piece when the nutrition consultant had dates over.

"What, that? Oh that's just my 12 year old McDonald's burger...."

ehhhhhh

I hadn't had McDonald's for ages before the beginning of this past summer. I picked up a double cheeseburger one day when I needed a quick/cheap lunch, and ended up crunching down on a bone fragment.
I should have just followed my first instinct and upchucked on the side of the highway right then and there, because I felt like sh*t for the rest of the day.
I ended up sleeping it off.

Good hamburger = f*cking awesome.
McDonald's = flesh garbage.
Never again.

Just goes to show you how backward our governmental programs run, for example, The FDA!

So... your saying we need to make our spaceships out of old mcdonalds burgers?

I'm never eating McDonald's hamburgers again. That's very disturbing. WTF do they put in them that makes them last so long?

guys.. imagine if some of these thrown away brugers last millions of years and future peoples will look at the specimens and go..."wow, those men were primitive"

This makes me not want to eat fast food ever again.

Wow thats crazy. I've worked at a McDonalds before, and the way they do things its a wonder on how healthy the food really is.

Yeah, I have a McDonald's burger thats 7 years old. I keep it in my small intestine.

Makes me wonder how McDonald's hamburgers could even be digested by the human body. Pressure treated wood decking doesn't even last that long!!!
If I ever build a deck, I'm making it out of McDonald's hamburgers!

well, i'd eat an old fry, but a 12 year old patty.. /:

Super-size Me!

This isnt the only fast food item with this strange preserving quality. As demonstrated in Super Size Me, the french fries as well stay virtually the same over an extended period of time. Eating Mcdonalds is practicaly the same as eating plastic, it does the same thing in your stomach.

watch super size me, on the extras they take a variety of mcdonalds food and show how it takes weeks for some of it to rot. the fries never rotted.

A friend of mine's aunt had a similarly creepy experience with some processed cheese someone gave to her...

She didn't want to eat it, so she put it in her refrigerator in a bag with some other cheese that was molding... and just from setting next to it long enough, the other cheese's mold went away.

Needless to say, it made me rethink my cheese habit.

I've been vegetarian for nearly a year now. I still crave McDonalds.

The most unhealthiest foods are always the best tasting. And immortal by the look of things....

Didnt everyone know that McDonalds doesnt sell real food?

How could the buns not be moldy after 12 years? This chick's lying.

And to think... I used to eat those things. I swear I'll never eat at McDonald's again.

I agree with karrer.

This burger should be studied because McDonald's may need to venture into the pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, if their meet lasts this long, we may have the cure to hunger in 3rd world countries. Sure the meat may be rotting, but surely some food is better than none. [sarcasm]

Who cares about the burgers themselves! This pod contains the secret to how John McCain has attained everlasting life!

I think a new marketing angle has just been uncovered ... vintage burgers.

But not a surprise surely - given dry storage and with the amount of salt contained in each burger, it should last for decades.

How old is your jerky?

The amazing beauty of freedom and a reminder of happiness for not living in Venezuela.

Hmm meaty goodness! I had a McDonalds the other day for the first time in a year (Big Mac meal with a banana milkshake ... who can blame me), but I think it'll be at least another year until the next one after seeing this!

that's why i always feel so great afterwords.. these are obviously gifts from higher powers, they are immortal

makes you wonder what they put in those burgers

And the conservatives say...

"No regulation! The evil liberals want to decide what goes in your food with the evil FDA!"

I didn't need another reason not to eat at McDonalds, but fuck man. That shouldn't be legal. Shit that doesn't break down in your body should not be sold as food.

That my friends is why I went Vegan...

I can't even imagine eating stuff like that anymore. Heck, I wouldn't eat McDonalds even before I went Vegan because nearly every time I did I got food poisoning.

Creepy stuff...

I actually got the new burger and the old burger confused. When I realized, I just sat here and wretched. Horf!

P.S. That hamburger blog is my new favorite blog!! :O

This is not interesting, it's disturbing. Food that won't rot is not really food. Especially a burger since the "meat" is basically part of a dead animal (not that I'm a vegetarian but I expect decomposition from all things that have died)
