Where is the beef?

October 14th, 2010

A very simple question.

What is the difference between these two pictures?

A Happy Meal, my arse

The difference is six months!

That is a burger and chips that has been left on a shelf for 171 days.

Is there not something strange about that? Where is the mould? If I leave a loaf of bread lying around for a couple of days, it soon grows a grand crop of penicillin. After a couple of weeks, I would imagine the loaf would rival the Botanic Gardens.

I came across this at some stage in my Interweb meanderings. Apparently an artist decided to do a stop action series of photographs to show a meal decaying. The only problem was that the fucking thing didn’t!

I have never liked McDonalds. They are noisy uncomfortable places and their "food" is crap. How anyone can consider a trip to McDonalds as a "treat" beats me. It’s my idea of hell. Their blatantly artificial cheery happy atmosphere makes me want to puke. Their produce doesn’t do much for my stomach either.

They advertise their shit as being "healthy".

Those photographs would tend to argue otherwise?

    I’d still rather eat either of them than some pigs head and crubeens!

    Thats not a real McDonalds, It’s a scam.
    Have you ever tried to remove the top half of a McDonalds bap? They are welded to the burger. There is no way one could be removed so neatly.

    The burger in the second photo has clearly been moved/turned around. If it’s the same burger.

    TT – You’re a fierce old cynic!  ;)

    It’s a conspiracy !!  Heh.  And, are you calling me “gay?”

  11. tt UNITED STATESon 15 Oct 2010 at 4:54 pm

    Eagles tonight. (The band.)  Piedmont Park. Live, open air. $70. You should pop over.

  12. Grandad IRELANDon 15 Oct 2010 at 5:26 pm

    Gay?  Where did that come from?  Are you?

    As for the Eagles, I’ll be there in five minutes.

  13. tt UNITED STATESon 15 Oct 2010 at 6:30 pm

    NO !  It was just your use of the word “fierce.” Ah, you lead a sheltered life GD.

    I’m pretty sure they’re not the same plate of food. Look at the burger bun creases. McDonald’s is still complete shit though.

    Holemaster – They look the same to me, just moved around a bit.
