This Is What A McDonald’s Hamburger Looks Like After It Sits Out For 14 Years
Just how many preservatives are added to fast food – this could surprise you. See what happened to a burger left forgotten in its wrapper for 14 years.
In 1999 David Whipple was a diet-supplement salesman in Utah who used a McDonalds burger as a prop in his sales pitch when describing the actions of enzymes, by showing how it looked after being kept in its wrapper for a whole month.
He promptly forgot about it until he found it during a house move some two years later. Whipple decided to continue the experiment and replaced the burger into it original packing and left it in a closet until recently.
The actual burger and bun don’t look too different visually (if you like dried out looking patties) but the pickle did disintegrate.
There was no mold, no fungus and no bad odors.
Whipple, who kept the original receipt for the burger, said he now shows the sandwich to his grandchildren to encourage them to eat healthily saying “It’s great for my grand-kids to see. To see what happens with fast food”
What could actually cause a hamburger not to rot over this period of time ? McDonalds has been trying to limit the bad publicity by stating that it was simply the lack of moisture which caused their hamburger to mummify.
