McDonalds: Still Lovin’ It 14 Years Later

In a worrying reminder about the contents of fast food, a US man has saved a McDonalds hamburger that he bought 14 years ago … and it looks exactly the same.

David Whipple, who lives in the US, bought the burger out on television show, The Doctors. He revealed that after he accidentally left it in his pocket for two years without seeing any deterioration to the meat or the bun he decided to see how long it would continue to look normal.

“It was about showing some people how enzymes work and I thought a hamburger would be a good idea,” he told the TV show. “And I used it for a month and then forgot about it.”

Mr Whipple added that the burger had ended up left in a coat pocket with the receipt for about two years. When they saw that other than the disintegration of the pickle there were no signs of deterioration, they decided to keep it to see how much longer it remained in the same state.

There was talk of selling the antique burger on eBay at one point, but the family decided to keep it to use to educate people about the content of fast food. “It’s great for the grandkids to see. To see what happens with fast food,” Mr Whipple said.
