Megan Condry, a woman living in Washington, United States, kept a hamburger bought at McDonald’s for five years following leaving it in her car for a few days and seeing that it had not started its decomposition process.

The woman told the Daily Mail that in November 2017 she bought two cheeseburgers and some fries from a drive-through but, following finishing one burger, she threw the other one in the back of her car and planned to eat it later.
The 41-year-old says that when she found the burger five days later, she realized it hadn’t started to rot yet so she decided to run an experiment to see how long it would last unchanged. It was not until January 2022 that Condry reviewed what had happened to this meal.
“I was in the closet sorting my Christmas things and I dropped the bag and the burger came rolling out. She had forgotten. He was hard as a rock, as hard as a hockey puck. I might probably break a window with it. Everything is completely dry and might start to fall apart,” the woman said.

Also, one of the most curious things regarding the discovery was that the packaging did not emit any odor. The bun, beef patty and cheese remain intact with no signs of mold or rot.
Megan says she was inspired to carry out the experiment following seeing an old hamburger on display in her doctor’s office.
“I like science stuff. A couple of years ago I went to the doctor and he had a pie stand with a hamburger that he had saved for 20 years. I would have thrown it away if I hadn’t seen the one in the doctor’s office,” the woman told the local newspaper.
