No stink at all… I’ve been tempted to try to reheat it and see if it returns to form.

It still looks edible … out of curiosity, does it stink up the closet? If it doesn’t smell, that would be a lnother huge indicator of preservatives

Very informative post. You sometimes wonder why so many additives are put in when the natural meat itself tastes fine. I feel places like McD’s and Burger King give the restuarant/fast food burger a negative direction when you can eat these sort of things while still maintaining a diet. For example, an Angus beef burger on a honey wheat roll with onions, lettuce and tomato with no salt or sauce added from McD’s is perfectly acceptable once or twice a week. One who is training intensely would actually benefit from it and still make gains while staying lean.

Yeah in Australia on a current affairs show called Today Tonight they did a story about this happy meal problem. They even showed a happy meal made in 1999 and it still looked alright to eat! No meat decay, fungus mould or anything (apart from looking dry). Mcdonalds shouldn’t miss lead their customers.

Michael & Kendall, I just updated the picture with the third month shot. It’s now hard (bun) but LOOKS 100% fine. I don’t think anyone would want to eat it, but the amazing thing is no decay. So maybe this is why sometimes when you go to McDonald’s the buns are kinda tough, maybe they been sitting in the back a few months….

Is there somewhere we could send it for testing to see what else it contains?

Who cares? I hate it when people rant about the nutritional values of fast food. If you don’t like fast food, don’t eat it. You don’t have to ruin it for the rest of us!
