We interrupt our regular program for a public service announcement. In the picture below you can admire a 12 year old hamburger.
Nothing special has been done to preserve it. Astonishing, isn’t it? Click the picture for more details.
UPDATE 2: The link is working again, please feel free to click through the picture for the full story.
UPDATE: The post has been mysteriously removed. I’ve copied some of the text (by Karen Hanrahan) below.
This is a hamburger from McDonalds that I purchased in 1996.
That was 12 years ago.
Note that it looks exactly like it did the very day I bought it.
The flecks on the bun are crumbs from the bun.
The burger is starting to crumble a bit
It has the oddest smell.
The paper and bag in the backround is circa 2008 – to add decor to the photo.
…People always ask me – what did you do to preserve it ?Nothing – it preserved itself.
Ladies, Gentleman, and children alike – this is a chemical food. There is absolutely no nutrition here.
Not one ounce of food value. Or at least value for why we are eating in the first place.
The burger on the right, off the paper is a 2008 burger. I had to buy it to get the groovy paper and bag.
The meat is a tad darker, the bun a little less golden but in 12 years it will look exactly like that too.
Do you find this horrifying?
McDonalds fills an empty space in your belly. It does nothing to nourish the cell, it is not a nutritious food.
It is not a treat.
I marvel at how McDonalds has infiltrated our entire world. A hamburger here tastes exactly the same in China or some around the world place.
It’s cloned.
Makes you wonder doesn’t it?
Do me a favor and share this.
