A friend at work told me about a woman who has a 16-year-old hamburger. She bought it and kept it in a plastic box, and it looks the same as the day she bought it. She points out that it's so full of chemicals and additives that the burger will never die.
That's a picture of it above (1996 burger on the left) and a new hamburger. If that doesn't put you off buying McDonald's, I don't know what will. But it's so easy and comforting to eat junk -- I know it's a constant struggle for me to restrain myself.
Here's an excerpt from her post about her hamburger and a link to her site:
This is a hamburger from McDonalds that I purchased in 1996.
That was 12 years ago.
Note that it looks exactly like it did the very day I bought it.
People always ask me - what did you do to preserve it ?
Nothing - it preserved itself.
Ladies, Gentleman, and children alike - this is a chemical food. There is absolutely no nutrition here.
Not one ounce of food value. Or at least value for why we are eating in the first place.

I want to know what's in that stuff so I can start using it on my FACE!
My 21 year old daughter has never eaten a Twinkie, for the same reasons.
Ha ha, Lisa, you are so right. If only we could look the same as we did 16 years ago, like hamburgers can.
Theresa, if the Egyptians had Twinkies they would probably be as well-preserved as the mummies.
I think that archaelogists in another millennium will be finding the only remains of our society: plastic carrier bags, twinkies, and cigarette filters.....and they'll know immediately what brought us down :-)
Why this dreck isn't illegal to sell and consume, I don't know!
god that's frightening... I still think I want a twinkie though.
Sarah D, you made me laugh. Why don't you buy two Twinkies, one to eat and the other to keep for 16 years so we can see what happens?
I LOVE JUNK FOOD WHEN I'M OUT AT THE WEEKEND, BUT THIS IS GOOD MATERIAL TO STEM MY YEARNING!!
