GUY TRYING TO SELL 6-YEAR-OLD MCDONALD’S BURGER & FRIES

Ontario farmer Dave Alexander bought a cheeseburger and fries from a McDonald’s in London, Ontario, six years ago as an experiment. Now he’s trying to sell it on eBay with a starting bid of $29.99. It all began when he’d heard of fast food burgers lasting for years without rotting and wanted to find out if it was an urban legend. It’s not. Alexander says the cheeseburger and fries he placed on a shelf are “surprisingly decent looking. The fries are stunningly good looking, like they were purchased this morning.” The burger, he says, has darkened a little bit. The bun is about as hard as a hockey puck, but cosmetically it looks like it’s brand new. He notes that 6 years of dust has been mostly removed, and both the burger and fries feature the original wrappers. His ad says, “Why not do your part to help to further scientific research and history and buy this burger. You too can witness the majesty of the Cheeseburger & Fries that just won’t die. Alexander is downsizing his home and decided to sell the meal
* I’d still want some proof that it was purchased in 2012 and not, you know, yesterday.
* If I were Wendy’s, I’d snap it up and compare it in advertising to Wendy’s own fresh beef patties.
* I wish someone would do the same experiment with one of those chemical shakes.
