McDonalds

[TerriblePizza]

Okay, so this woman bought a happy meal and left it sitting out on her coffee table for six months. She took a picture of it everyday over 180 days. Check out how it turned out.

It kind of makes you never want to eat McDonald's again.

I looked into it after seeing it on tv a while back. I think it was that movie super size me.

The indestructible McDonald's burger is an Internet fad that recycles every few years. But why won't the thing decompose?

Experiments like the Happy Meal Project show McDonald's burgers and fries maintaining their original condition after hundreds of days. The knee-jerk reaction is to assume McDonald's pumps mass quantities of preservatives into its food, but the truth may not be so scandalous.

Salon did some digging into this trend, and found that the fat, not the chemicals, causes the food to stay pristine. High fat means low moisture, which lends to less space for mold to grow. And since this is fast food, both the fries and the meat patty are very high in fat. The bun, however, remains a mystery — its contents are nearly identical to a loaf of Wonder bread, yet it doesn't get moldy.

I haven't eaten at McDonalds in at least 10 years. When I do crave a Big Mac I make it myself.

Anyone that has ever lost a french fry in there car only to find it years later can tell you this is true.

Once I again, if it tastes good, I couldn't give a rat's ass what happens when you let it sit for 6 months.

their chicken wraps are damn good.

The high fat content doesn't make sense. Fat tends to go rancid. It must be the saturated fat that makes the difference.

If you read about 3/4ths of the food you eat, you'd never eat them!!

Per the FDA, hot dogs can contain a percentage of Rat Feces!

According the "Everything you Ever Wanted to Know About Sex, but Were Afraid to Ask' Using Coca Cola (Carbonic Acid) as a Douche will kill sperm and prevent pregnanacy!

it had been a very long time since i ate there when I went and got some of the chicken wraps. i've also had their angus burgers. They're damn good.

Lol i was going to say how most fatass americans would care as long as it tasted good...but tarheelblue backed my statement up before i could post it lol

[Doyle]

That just means its that good.:hurray::hurray::skep::skep:

Amazing lack of ketchup or mustard on that burger. Why? Because moisture would have caused decomposition and ruined the experiment. Think about it- bread left in a bag will turn moldy, while bread left in the open won't. Try it yourself!

tarheelblue is such a fatass.
