Have you ever cleaned out your refrigerator or pantry and found a really old piece of food? You know what I’m talking about - Oreo cookies that have gone from black and white to all green, slices of mold-dripping bread, milk that smells like it was bottled at the sulfur mine. Usually, we have a knack for knowing when to toss away food that’s about to go bad. But sometimes, we completely forget about it until we encounter quite a surprise. Watch the video above to hear about the ancient burger and the surprising condition it was in. Via KUTV McDonald's has issued a response to the story, saying, "McDonald’s hamburgers are freshly prepared in our restaurants. While not knowing the conditions in which the food was kept in this specific claim, what is scientifically known is that in bacteria and mold only grow under certain conditions. For example, without sufficient moisture – either in the food itself or the environment in which it is held – bacteria and mold and associated decomposition, is unlikely. If food is/or becomes dry enough, it won’t grow mold or bacteria. In fact, any food purchased from a restaurant or grocery store or prepared at home that lacks moisture would also dehydrate and see similar results if left in the same environment. McDonald's hamburger patties in the U.S. are made with 100% USDA-inspected beef. They are cooked and prepared with salt, pepper and nothing else – no preservatives – no fillers. Our hamburger buns are made from North American-grown wheat flour. These are the same foods that people buy every day in their local grocery stores." |

Sounds like a hoax. Assuming he had his jacket cleaned at least every few years, the burger would have dissolved in the laundry solution. But then I am not familiar with McDonalds food items.
Humidity is very low in Utah. If it sat out as a part of a display for three weeks it would have dried out. All this fuss over a dried out hamburger. LOL
Add to that the bactericidal effects of salt. This is a millenniums old custom if preserving meat, salt curing.
Since he's from Utah, he probably has lots of 14-year-old things. Like his wife.
Wow, youre a huge douche.
One of the reasons niche blogging is better than general blogging is because if you choose a specific subject, that helps to establish you as an expert. Once people consider you an expert on a topic, they are more likely to visit your blog for the specific information you can provide.*`
Good day to you

I would eat it for free, but I would just get as much money as I could out of it. Why not?
Pay me in 1000 24k gold coins. Then I will eat that burger like a starving hippo.
You pay for the hamburger then I will eat it.
