    Happy Meal Resists Decomposition for 6 months-photos

    McDonald’s Happy Meal resists decomposition for six months | The Upshot Yahoo! News - Yahoo! News

    New York city-based photographer Sally Davies bought a McDonald's Happy Meal back in April, and left it out on her kitchen counter, and took photos of it every week for six months. She posted the photos to Flickr, and they can be seen here:

    Surprising? Or not?

    It would be better if I saw a regular hamburger made from butcher bought ground beef and cooked, left there next to it for comparison.

    Thats disgusting but not surprising. My little guys love McD's. We only get it for them once in a while as a treat. Thats bothersome isnt it that a treat is that nasty.

    Well, they did it in the supersize me movie and the burger made with real ground beef went really bad in like a couple of weeks in a jar. the mc**** was still intact.

    I mean, you'd think the bread would at least mold, right? Put the food in jar and you're trapping the air in, which will help speed up the process of mold/decomposition/etc. Either way, I think I'll stick with Red Robin the next time I want a burger..

    So the moral of the story is that if you eat Happy Meals, you will be well preserved as well.
    There's no correlation between creativity and equipment ownership. None. Zilch. Nada. Actually, as the artist gets more into his thing, and as he gets more successful, his number of tools tends to go down. He knows what works for him. Expending mental energy on stuff wastes time.
