So, how's it look after five-odd years? ..Disturbingly edible.
But, before you get all urban legend-y on us, remember that molding is based on humidity and the number of mold spores in the air. When LP did her little experiment in 2012, the McDonald's burger molded right up, while In-N-Out stayed relatively mold free.
That Iceland burger though? I looks maybe a day old. I wonder how it tastes..
