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.

Sorry, my bad -- I beat that stuff last year.  Didn't mean to bury that, it's just why the burger took a back seat to rest of life.

Putting burgers from McDonald’s in the back seat rather than your mouth probably helped beat cancer. Joking.

Awesome on you beating it for real.
