It’s almost trite, the idea that fast food is so stuffed full of preservatives (and salt, another preservative) that it basically doesn’t have an expiry date.
But it’s still compellingly gross to see such longevity documented. New York artist Sally Davies bought herself a McDonald’s hamburger and fries on April 10. She’s been taking a picture of it every day since.
It still looks the same.
As website Good.is notes, the hamburger actually starts to look better on Day 137 than it did on Day 94. Creepy!
UPDATE: According to the Toronto Star, the burger and fries are now rock-hard, but they “artificial smell” is gone. Also, Davies was born in Winnipeg. Cool!

There’s a guy in the comments who is saying that this is a hoax. I’m curious if it is, or if that person actually works for the fast food chains.
