Fourteen-Year-Old McDonald’s Burger Hasn’t Changed

In 1999 David Whipple bought a burger from McDonald’s to prove to his friend that it wouldn’t change in a month. His experiment worked, but when the burger was forgotten and found again it still looked the same!

Whipple misplaced the burger and found it in the pocket of his coat two years after the initial experiment. The burger looked almost exactly the same, so Whipple decided to see how long it would take for the burger to start to age. 14 years later, the burger is still going strong!

It’s not a big surprise that junk food is so unnatural, but no one suspected that a burger could survive for more than a decade with no change! Apparently the burger doesn’t even smell different! The only change it’s experienced is the diminishing of the pickle, but the bun and patty still have no signs of even the slightest bit of mold!

Whipple and his wife were going to sell the burger, complete with the bag and receipt from 1999, but later changed their minds. They decided to keep the burger as an educational tool to show what actually goes into your body when you eat junky fast food.
