the indestructable happy meal (daily mail warning)

So I therefore conclude that somehow splicing organic material from a McDonald's burger into the human biological make-up is the secret to ETERNAL YOUTH! Muahahahaha! I'm going to be rich!

I won't be financing your venture.

Drying is the oldest form of preserving, why is anybody surprised?

 

[Fr0dders]

I'm gonna go ahead and assume it was kept in a controlled environment.

exactly

what a pointless investigation. As somebody has said, if it was left out in the air normally, it would have dust and everything.

Just leaving it on a shelf with good airflow will be enough. Looks like the light is good so in the sun too. Perfect drying conditions.

Leave it in a damp room or seal it in a plastic bag and the results will be quite different.

Someone should do this with a fresh home made burger with fresh bread and watch exactly the same thing happen.

I would do it but I'd end up eating it.

BS

Flies and ants would be on that

Clearly not - it seems they have taste!

my car was a bit messy for a while and i also found mcdonnalds fries simply go hard and not mouldy, where as dixy fries changed colour.

And before anybody says it, the preservatives argument is pointless, as McDonalds thrown anything out thats not eaten within 10 minutes. I used to work there and saw it done religiously. The amount of food that gets wasted :/

Except when they cheat. When I used to work there when I was young, the duty manager used to changed the time slots on the food to reduce what was thrown away as they had wastage targets to reach every day. It was not known at unexpected quiet periods for burgers to be sat there for 20 minutes or more and still sold. I bet they tasted disgusting.

Quorn is just a fungus...surely we could have shipped lots of it to feed the starving if they have 24x7 production lines making the stuff.

Except for the people who have the recipe. When we were dealing with the factory who makes Quorn years ago we had to sign a secreacy document. We were only taking the waste away from the process but we had to keep control over it, not give any of it away to be analysed so somebody could use that info to work out the recipe/process.

Also although it is a fungus, it's not cheap to make/process into quorn.

Feed half the worlds starving to the other half, problem solved...

Jonathan Swift beat you by about 400 years...
