ha ha.
This is absolute nonsense. . . .. urban legend totally unhinged from reality.
I don't know if you folks wanna make this a "Mormon" issue or not, but let's just say our nation has been progressively taught compliance in the place of actual cognition. . . . . sorta like "Mormonism" is for a lot of folks, at least in my book. Not that government is totally bad or religion is totally bad. . . I mean every social unit relies on this to some extent. . . .
but hey folks. The laws of physics and chemistry or even biochemistry are not nuked by a liberal application of anti-oxidants or even enzyme inhibitors or even sterilizing food irrradiation. . . . all of which I would suspect in general specification for food materials being contracted by major food chains. . . . .
but how you gonna stop the evaporation of water from a burger. meat will dry out slowly, bread will dry out even faster. Don't believe me??? OK buy a big Mac and stick it behind your truck seat and leave it there a couple of weeks.
Utah is the con capital of the US simply because people in the large cultural normatives are conditioned to trust "The Church" as well as "The Gov.".....
Party time for all kinds of liars.
I think this is a recently bought burger with a really old receipt. Look at the bun in that pic. No mold of any kind, no darkening of the meat. There would be some form of decay after 14 years. There just would be some where.
I will still eat McDonald's. What chaps my *** is McDonald's caving to all the health nuts -- who don't and won't eat their food -- and make things taste worse for the rest of us while catering to a demographic that doesn't consume their product.
This. Mickey D's used to fry their fries in vegetable oil with a bit of beef fat mixed in. They were awesome. Some hindus found out and sued for feeding them beef products so McDonald's took the beef fat out of the equation and their fries have sucked ever since.
ST. GEORGE — Earlier this week, ksl.com's story about a 14-year-old McDonald's cheeseburger in St. George went viral. David Whipple bought the burger in Logan in 1999 and it looks just about the same today, after spending much of that time in a coat pocket. Turns out, a young scientist in St. George was already conducting an experiment of her own.
Three months ago Jocelyn Hummel, a fifth grader in Washington, Utah, read an article in a national publication that stated a McDonald's cheeseburger wouldn't rot. She was skeptical and decided to slice through the sizzle and get down to the science.
"It didn't make much sense to me, so I decided to do my science project on it," Hummel said.
When she saw ksl.com's story on this cheeseburger that simply dried up after 14 years, she told said we needed to see her work.
"In order to mold and decay, you need moisture," she said.
That was her hypothesis. So, she put one burger on a plate in the pantry. And this is how her experiment differs with previous studies on aging fast food burgers.
"They each only got one, and just let it sit out," Hummel said. "I got two to see the differences between them."
She put the second burger next to a moist sponge in a ventilated container.
"Day eight is when it first started to mold," she said.
In an official statement, McDonald's says that all of its patties are cooked and prepared with salt and pepper, nothing else. No preservatives, no fillers. Just as Hummel discovered, they point out that without moisture, mold and bacteria just won't grow.
"You can feel no moisture at all," Hummel said. "It's completely hard."
The open-air burger, after 67 days, has little change. The cheeseburger next to the sponge looks more like a toupee on a plate.
Jocelyn took first prize in the science fair and discovered her hypothesis was correct.
"It feels like I'm smarter than the adults," she said.
Referring to the 14-year-old burger, McDonald's says "any food purchased from a restaurant or grocery store or prepared at home that lacks moisture would also dehydrate and see similar results if left in the same environment."

A little harsh, babe. I could make the same kinds of sweeping generalizations about all those people...none from Utah...who see the likeness of the Virgin Mary in a potato ship or the image of Jesus on a burrito, etc.

I didn't know people in Utah were not fond of foreign people.
