Late last week McDonald’s released a video describing how they made their fries, in hopes of trying to satisfy skeptic customers and put an end to their questionable reputation. As expected, potatoes are not the only ingredient.
However, this is far from the most disturbing news McDonald’s has to offer. According to Icelandic newspaper Morgunbladid, a six-year-old Happy Meal is still perfectly intact. Gross.
After closing it’s doors in 2009, the famed franchise reportedly sold it’s last burger and fries in the country to a man named Hjörtur Smárason. Somehow the dude was able to resist devouring the meal upon receiving it, and saved it in a plastic bag for the next three years, eager to see if the rumors about McDonald’s food not perishing were true. Sadly, his findings were not the least bit surprising.
In 2012 Smárason donated the Happy Meal to the National Museum of Icelannd, where museum goers apparently went as far as sampling some of the fries. Recently curators returned the donation, claiming that they “couldn’t preserve it any longer.” We’re assuming that’s code for “those shiesty visitors couldn’t keep their hands to themselves.” In turn, Smárason donated the meal to the Reykjavík Bus Hostel, where it continues to show no sign of change.
On the bright side, we know the first place we’ll be hitting up during an atomic attack.
