I put the question mark in the title because although I suspect that something is not on the up-and-up, I don’t yet have anything to point at and go “well that’s not right”.
This “experiment” has been making the rounds on the internet, and I just can’t believe this is real, or that the person who posted it could be so stupid as to say that
In all the pics, it does seem to be the same cheeseburger (note the folds on the top bun), but we have to take Snack Girl at her word about the time passed between pics.
Tomorrow I plan on purchasing a McDonald’s cheeseburger and putting it in a ziploc bag. I’ll take pics every day, and I suspect that after 11 days it’s gonna look pretty gnarly, let alone after 28 days.
I think that Snopes will eventually have an article on this, but can Dopers discern anything weird here? Or is this one gonna be on Snopes with a tagline of “true”?
ETA: as a vegetarian, I haven’t purchased anything at McDonald’s since the whole beef-powder-on-fries thing came to light back in the early 1990s, so I don’t have an ounce of interest in defending Mickey D’s. I’m just curious to know if the whole “experiment” was a sham of some kind.
