The McDonald's Project: Day 9


By Day 9 I hadn't thought through what I expected; my hypothesis was in favor of McDonald's claim that the burger if un-tampered would decompose--get mold, smell, start excreting weird juices, etc. According to Merriam-Webster.com, decompose means: "to separate into constituent parts or elements or into simpler compounds; to break up into constituent parts by or as if by a chemical process".

Would the burger be enveloped in fuzzy multi-colored spores or be perfectly maintained in its original state? Come to find out neither has happened; while no fuzz has germinated, the burger itself wouldn't be fit for consumption if it was the last thing on the planet. The only thing I can think of to describe it is petrification. Every bit of moisture is leaving the objects, leaving a nicely preserved Happy Meal behind.

The fries are matching the bun in hardness. The grease is dripping out the bottom of the wrapper, causing the dye to run and turn the bottom of the plate a gooey red.


My Mom thinks it is shrinking

The grease has changed the paper a reddish hue because of the dye on the
French Fry wrapper

Fries are hard and greasy...hmmm, seems suspicious to me!
