The Last McDonald's Burger in Iceland Just Turned 10.

You may have missed it yesterday, but Iceland celebrated a strange anniversary: Ten years ago, Hjörtur Smárason walked into the country's last McDonald’s restaurant shortly before it closed and ordered a hamburger and french fries.
Today, the exceptionally preserved patty and its accompanying red carton of fries are sitting beneath a bell jar, under the watchful eye of a camera, which has live-streamed its decay (or lack thereof) for several years. It is—to our knowledge—Iceland’s sole surviving McDonalds hamburger meal.

I find it disturbing how resilient McDonalds food is to being decomposed by nature

Probably still tastes better than that rotted whale and shark salted nasty stuff they eat.

the packaging looks more decomposed than does the ´food´

That’s how you know it’s good for you. It never decomposes.

While you may be many things, I don´t think I´d refer to you in this way.

Man that's nothing. People hundreds of years ago would cross the Atlantic ocean on sail boats and bring salted foods that wouldn't spoil even in the humid environment of an ocean crossing. Crazy stuff.
What's really interesting too is that I've got liquor that's over ten years old and tastes the same as the day I bought it, but my Dr. Peppers start tasting worse within a day of being opened.

from the stuff I've read, some food actually did spoil. They just ate rotten jerky and moldy scones anyway.

Great name for a band.

McDonald's states that it's because it's encased and not exposed to normal elements that it's not decomposing.

So you're unfamiliar with meals made from dry cod?

It really is. My wife doesn’t properly seal a pack of cheese and it molds in like two days in the fridge, meanwhile those people were eating perishable shite that got put on a boat 4 months prior.

Years ago in an office fridge I found a chunk of roast that had been in there, in a closed Tupperware container, for about a year. It had turned solid green. Not sure if the fridge had been turned off at any point in that year, but regardless the roast rotted even while in a sealed container inside an air conditioned office.

I mean, they're probably right.

There’s a nutrition store in Ridgeland, MS that has a McDonald’s burger and fry on an open shelf that’s been sitting there for 17 years and it hasn’t decomposed at all. The casing has nothing to do with it.

Go to any grocery store and buy a nice pretty red tomato and set it on your counter. It will stay exactly like that for a month or more.
Then start planting your own.

The fermented shark I ate in Iceland is far and away the nastiest bite of food I’ve ever had.
