If you ever thought about giving up junk food, you might just do so after watching this video.
A woman who was cleaning out her grandmother’s house came across a McDonald’s hamburger that was bought in 2010.
“I used to hear about it but never saw it,” says Briana, a TikTok user who shared a short clip of the 14-year-old burger.
In the video you see her taking the burger box out of the white McDonald’s paper bag.
At the bottom of the bag, you can see the thin chips that have fallen out of the chips packet.
The chips have not gone off at all and, in fact, looks like they’ve been made on the day.
When she opened the burger box you get to see the burger bun that is still pretty much intact as well - no mould in sight.
But what’s even more disturbing is the fact that when she lifts the burger bun to show the burger patty, you can see that the patty is still intact as well.
No mould, no bugs, just a bit of shrinkage.
The video has been viewed almost 900,000 times and has received over a thousand comments.

“Bacteria or mould won’t even consume it,” responded one person.
“McDonald’s Forever… and I mean forever,” said another.
Someone else gave a more scientific explanation saying: “Chemical Preservatives (i.e. in beef & bun; Also lack of moisture; Outer layer drying out over time forms a protective crust repels breakdown. Same for potatoes dehydrating from frying).”
