McDonalds

I hope you all had a nice weekend, I know I did!

I returned from vacation a few weeks ago, and was mildly surprised to discover that McDonalds here has started selling breakfasts. Quite how a Sausage McMuffin works here, I'm not sure (I'm assuming it's a beef patty) but I did sneak in a hash-brown during a moment of weakness. It was lovely, I do have a soft spot for those hash-browns.

Over the weekend I received an email from a friend linking me to a rather amusing story:

Click the link and watch the video on the page.... This person bought a Happy Meal and left it on her coffee table for 6 months, in New York, including the summer. Incredibly, the fries, burger and bun did not deteriorate or grow any mould. She took a picture of it every day for 6 months and made a video cataloguing her findings. I guess the news from this is that you can take up to 6 months to finish your Happy Meal!

McDonalds felt so strongly about this story that they actually released an official response to the story that stated that their burgers get mould too. Of course they would. I personally felt for sure the bun would get mouldy, but.... watch for yourself. I wouldnt be surprised if we start to see vacuum packed Happy Meals for sale next to Twinkies at gas stations soon!

More soon!
