Seven months, eleven days. But you won't find these Hamburgers or french fries in the local 7-Eleven... I hope!
Hamburger Watch - Day 222
French Fry Watch - Day 201
It has bee a while since my last post and I have to say, I really didn't expect to have the majority of these Hamburgers & fries still intact and mostly mold free.
Pictured here is my hamburger creation on a bun I bought from the store. As you can see, in the center of the bun, there is three spots of mold. This mold was created in conjunction with mold spots of the same size on the hamburger. On the hamburger it is harder to capture a clear picture with my camera. The mold growth has been there since the first month or so, and has since stopped growing.
Pictured here are the Burger King french fries.You can barely make out two dark spots on the french fries that have a mold growth that was probably the result of defects (holes) in the fries. This mold is also from the first month or so, and had also stopped growing in the early months.
Here we have a McDonalds hamburger sealed away in a baggie for 176 days now. The yellow spots you see are a mold growth that seems to be growing at a snails pace. It is very hard to tell, but I believe it is still growing.
And last but not least, my McDonalds french fries that have also been sealed away in a baggie for 176 days. Here it would appear that we may have a little french fries remaining amongst the mold.
Obviously, you can create any results you want with the right circumstances. What this also tells us... It is not necessarily what is in the products and how they are produced, but in how they are prepared, preserved and stored.
