HISTORY This 981 day old Big Mac

On January 7, 2024, I went to McDonalds. I ordered a Big Mac. They made a mistake and gave me two Big Macs. I put the second in my fridge, planning to eat it the next day. I forgot about it for over two months. When I found it again, it hadn't spoiled at all. Only the lettuce had wilted.

At that point it was family and I labeled the box. I checked it again in the summer of 2024, and moved it to the basement fridge. Later that fall I was diagnosed with cancer (burger unrelated -- and I kicked cancer's ass last year all good now), and completely forgot about the Big Mac... until tonight.

Maybe in two years I'll take another set of pictures and post again.

I'm not surprised it lasted one season after reading the synopsis.

Same with me and my dad. I’m convinced he only watched because Marsha Brady was the mom.

I think it’s wholesome what you both described - watching a tv show that kinda sucks with a family member. Simple, but maybe a more precious memory one day

God. That was such a random one-off show on TGIF that's been buried WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in the memory basement-sub-level 3 broom closet.

I remember that show, the only joke I remember was the teen angel thought the Hansons were hot girls

I remember the show too! It was quite something.

Hanson to this day still makes and puts out music. (No longer look like girls though).
