Gross! But I knew about that as well. Someone had posted a video on youtube of footage on how long those patties last....make you think before going out to McDonalds for lunch or dinner....Cut off fast food after that! LOL

I guess we shouldn't call it a happy meal anymore! Wonder if it is all the fat in the meat that keeps it looking so "great" And it probably didn't mold because there wasn't wny moisture. Any bread left on the counter out in the open is subject to ants before it rots---it gets hard as a rock and light as air really---maybe they can find new life as hockey pucks!

Actually, it's a common myth that it has anything to do with preservatives or is solely seen in McDonalds hamburgers. It was explained a few months ago. See here http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/11/the-burger-lab-revisiting-the-myth-of-the-12-year-old-burger-testing-results.html

...that certainly explains the meat. But NOT the bread. Ever try to keep real, whole grain bread without preservatives from molding? You're shoving it in your mouth, it molds so fast...and makes you understand just why they use preservatives in commercial bread...although still. Even commercial bread molds within a week. So its still pretty scary that McD's buns DON'T...
