If you feel sick at the thought of eating some cold leftover Maccy D's the morning after you groggily bought it, then you might want to look away now.

Redditor Standbacknow claims that a "girl he knows" bought this cheeseburger and fries in April 2006, and never touched it or stored it in a freezer or fridge. maaaaa

This kind of story resurfaces regularly online: it has come up before in the last few years, prompting an equal and opposite counter argument as to why fast food couldn't possibly stay preserved. There's also this scene from Super Size Me, which shows how McDonald's food decomposes over several months, never mind years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wmac-INoXg Of course, probably the key question to be asked in all of this is: how, and where, did the girl keep this food?!   m3   giphy
