THE CLOSET — Diamonds are forever, and apparently so is one particular McDonald’s hamburger.
Well, at least that’s the claim from the woman in this featured video.
Imagine, if you will, buying a McDonald’s burger and small fry in 1996. And instead of enjoying that burger, you put it in a shoebox in your closet.
The question is: Why would you do such a thing? Maybe you’re just purely curious, maybe it was a science experiment that you forgot about, or maybe you’re trying to prove a point.
Whatever reason, this woman has had a burger and fries in her closet for 24 years.
In the video, she shows us the results of that particular brand of stubbornness. And instead of being a toxic pile of food goo, the burger and fries are totally intact. Dried and weird, but still a fully recognizable fast food meal.
Of course, the burger and fries wouldn’t survive like that in just any conditions (don’t try it in the rainforest, for example). Being in a cool, dark and arid environment can dry out or mummify many different types of organic materials.
In the end, a 24-year-old burger is both not all that disgusting, yet so very disgusting at the same time.
Who’s ready to eat?

This turtle and this alligator aren't just acquaintances that live in the same body of water. They're friends.
