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.

The flecks on the bun are crumbs from the bun.

    I’m rather sceptical about this.

    We all KNOW that hamburgers have been steadily shrinking through the years. How could it be exactly the same size? :)

    In Super-Size Me!, the McDonalds french fries lasted a long while before the other fresh french fries rotted.

    The McDonalds french fries still had a long way to go even after the rest turned green.
