Preserving history!
When McDonald's closed all its restaurants in Iceland in 2009, one man had a wild idea. Hjortur Smarason bought his last burger and fries, not to enjoy one final meal, but to TEST A RUMOR we've all heard – that McDonald's food never decomposes!
"I had heard that McDonald's never decompose so I just wanted to see if it was true or not," he told AFP.
Fast forward a decade later...
This seemingly indestructible meal barely looks a day older! No mold. No rot. Just a slightly dried-out version of what millions consume daily.
The burger became such a phenomenon that it lives in a glass cabinet at Snotra House hostel in southern Iceland. Back in 2019, it even had its own LIVE STREAM where people from around the world could watch it... not decompose!
But here's what makes this story even CRAZIER:
The National Museum of Iceland once REJECTED the burger, claiming they weren't equipped to preserve food.
"I think he was wrong because this hamburger preserves itself," Smarason commented.
