McDonald's isn't even food. I wouldn't even feed it to my dogs if somebody paid me to.

Here's an article with some interesting results after testing this:

The Conclusion

How do you think beef jerky is made?

So there we have it! Pretty strong evidence in favor of Theory 3: the burger doesn't rot because it's small size and relatively large surface area help it to lose moisture very fast. Without moisture, there's no mold or bacterial growth. Of course, that the meat is pretty much sterile to begin with due to the high cooking temperature helps things along as well. It's not really surprising. Humans have known about this phenomenon for thousands of years. After all, how do you think beef jerky is made?

Now don't get me wrong—I don't have a dog in this fight either way. I really couldn't care less whether or not the McDonald's burger rotted or didn't. I don't often eat their burgers, and will continue to not often eat their burgers. My problem is not with McDonald's. My problem is with bad science.

For all of you McDonald's haters out there: Don't worry. There are still plenty of reasons to dislike the company! But for now, I hope you'll have it my way and put aside your beef with their beef.

Wrap it in a moist paper towel, give it a solid 30 seconds in the microwave, and it's good as new!

Wow, Thanks for this as well.
I still am freaked out by the ingredient count.

1st of all, a hamburger is made up of 6-9 different things in the 1st place............

Yep, me too.
It's usually a once or twice a year thing for me.

Yeah, because having a lot of ingredients is crazy, never mind what those things are.

I'm sorry, I see everyone getting upset about my comment, but I just don't eat like that. I'd rather not eat a hamburger at all.

6-9 different items. All that have their own long list of ingredients within. ie.. ingrediient list for the bread, meat, cheese, secret sauce, ketchup, mustard etc.........

This can't be true.

Aren't we supposed to be here to support eachother? It seems like the only thing you like to do is comment on threads with negative comments. All these people trying to NOT be that over-weight person anymore, and you want to post a giant cheeseburger.. I get your humor, but you need to get off my back.

I wouldn't eat McDonalds.

Simply because I think their burgers are flavourless flat pieces of cardboard. :laugh:
