Anyone remember the "documentary" Supersize me
On the dvd version of it, in the extras, they did a similar test.
They simply took a hamburger and fries from the local greasy spoon and placed it under a glass cake lid.
They did this for McD 1/4pounder, fries and fish sandwich.
And at room temp just monitored it over several months. The clip showed that the greasy spoon's food decayed pretty quickly, within a week. The McDs stuff took about 4 times longer (but DID decay)
The McDs fries were the one item that after 90days still looked the same.
I can buy that. However I say so what.
Place them all in a small tub of stomach acids and then lets compare.
I used to love McDs fries before they went to the 0trans fat style oil. They just don't taste the same.
All the other items on their menu stink.
I have had the hankering for a McDs meal more than once a year. And each and EVERY time I am left disappointed to the point I wish I could get my money back.
I'll take a Whopper over McDs anyday, sometimes I'm in the mood for a Wendy's double. And a superSonic dbl beats them both.
But I still cook the best burger any fast food place can put out.
