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:

Great link, Derrel! I sure won't be eating at McDonald's anytime soon...

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..
