A woman in New York says she bought a McDonalds Happy Meal six months ago and it is still intact after six months on a plate at room temperature.
Is the story true?
If so - what the hell sort of chemicals are in that food for it to be so well preserved?

I'm not sure I'd take nutrition and health advice from someone who exhibits half eaten burgers for a living
Whereas had the burger been devoured by flesh eating bacteria after 10 mins, all would be well...
I don't think McDs could win on this one.
what are crisps? they are basically chips. and they dont mould either.
its all about the cooking methods and conditions they are stored in.
bread doesnt moult unless there is some humidity it will just go hard.
even apples, if they are stored correctly (good air circulation) they can last 6 months from harvest, stored incorrectly they will last a week.
Loooooool :D:D

What about the meat?
if it was uncooked it would be mouldy in less than a week.
peperoni and dried meat lasts for ages at room temperature too.
**off to mcdonalds to buy my big mac & fries**:D
Are you telling me my steak from a 3 month hung side of beef is in fact manky?
This, this, this and this.
It's just an excuse to 'McDonalds bash'.
Obviously it's 'unhealthy' food, as are all takeaways.. which is why it's a treat. Clearly if people are silly enough to consume it with any great regularity then that's just different.. but some of us like to enjoy the occasional a McDonalds as a treat.. I know it's crap food, and that's the point.. Sugar, Monosodium Glutamate, Fat and Salt are suprisingly nice on the tongue. Funnily enough.
People who get on their high horses about McDonalds can't say a thing unless they live on a Vegan diet.
This story is a damp squib.
Even McDonalds own spokesperson in the UK says their secret is lots of salt and fat.
I posted the link in another thread
By the way I like the odd burger myself.
Meat just dries out and gets harder and harder as time goes on.
Its moderation, I cant help it if people are stupid and have it every week. Mines about every 2 months. I know this is a bit OT and not complaining about the DS posters. Just other greedy people that get ill and fat eating this shite which ruins it for the rest of us.
Haha, wow, what snobs. I've got this image of snooty looking germs wearing waistcoats and dabbing their faces with napkins.
Still not going to put me off McDs
