Perseverant Happy Meal refuses to spoil after 6 years

Those fries stuck behind your car seat haven’t gone bad — but maybe hold off on eating them.

Jennifer Lovdahl purchased a Happy Meal from McDonald’s and it’s still looking almost good enough to eat. The Happy Meal is from six years ago.

As part of an experiment to determine how truly durable McDonald’s food can be, Lovdahl allowed her Happy Meal to sit around her office without disturbing it. Fast-forward six years later, and the meal of nuggets and a small fry are still looking pretty fresh.

In the Facebook caption, Lovdahl describes that the meal “has not rotted, molded, or decomposed at all … It smells only of cardboard.”

She guessed the high number of chemicals probably kept the meal in such a disturbing condition.

“The box will decompose before the food does,” Lovdahl wrote in the description of another photo. “This is disgusting.”

It’s a museum-worthy meal for only three bucks and some change. That’s not bad at all, if you don’t mind some mild indigestion.
