14 Years Old McDonald's Burger

So then the preservatives from the hamburger would just be absorbed into your body and it would preserve your body.

How is preserving your body a bad thing?
 
They did something similar with Mickey fries on that movie Super Size Me and how they don't biodegrade after long periods of time.

Sounds healthy.
 
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.
 

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.

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 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.

exactly. Look at the video Chad posted.

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.

I was actually going to use the fries as an example -- they're horrible! They've also been skimping on the food they give my kids and swapped a lot of their fries for apples (if I thought they'd want apples I'd have stayed home). But I understand this is more of an economic issue where they screw the customer and spin it as being health conscious.

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."

OK, but this is not relevant to the events that follow in the digestive tract. Lots of enzymes released in the saliva, plus the stomach, plus acid in the stomach are actively breaking down everything...... even the fries. . . .and also destroying any traces of mold, fungi, and bacteria. The stuff is pretty much digested and absorbed, except for some of the fiber, connective tissue, and dirt. Yes, dirt. In all foods grown in soil. Not much, some some. No problem..... extra calcium and other minerals.

This is essentially a petri dish experiment, showing the growth of all kinds of fungi and bacteria, and retaining the entire moisture content in the fog chamber atmosphere. Pretty much no valid comparison.

The fries??? hey, they were sterilized in oil at 350 degrees F, and coated in oil. excludes evaporation or absorption of moisture. Pretty sure the oil they were fried in has a boatload of preservatives and enzymatic inhibitors. Pretty sure that negatively affects digestion as well. But not all that effectively. The gut wins this contest.

Left to right, without exception, poop is the final result.
 
probably a fair enough response. If I were in the Philippines being a maverik, I'd be mentioning the black Jesus in the old catholic church in downtown Manila, the cursillistas doing their penance, and the millions of novenas and many millions of bead-counting repetitive prayers. If I were in Rome or demonstrating my call to unhinged faith by placards on lathing. . . . with comments about the centuries of statist religion and abundance of "connections" with big money moguls. . .

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

Utah should change it's license plates from "Life Elevated" to "The Missionary State". We've got folks here who've been out to almost all the world to serve missions, often coming home with permanent love for those places and people. We are very fond of lots of people. MoTown was reacting to some pretty challenging observations I've made, perhaps in a too-critical tone, directly at Mormons. I don't hate Mormons. . . . some of my best friends are Mormons. .. . .lol. . . . . I'm also pretty critical of myself sometimes, and hardly hate myself really. . . .

And MoTown's observation of some superstitious or overly-spiritual Catholics was mistakenly supposed to make Mormons look comparable somehow. Hey, I imagine with all the potato chips produced every year, at least ten are going to look like the image of Jesus, regardless of what "image" you think that would be. And for all I care, every one could be a special dispensation of hope for somebody. . . . .
