An artist buys a Maccy meal. Plates it up. Takes pictures of it every day to see how it will decompose. But it doesn't.

I'm tempted to cry foul at this, but if it is genuine....

Old news or a repeat performance?

Either way, this 'phenomenon' is not new.

Just one of the reasons I dont eat them.

[Shaw Tarse]

Sounds OK, warm it in the microwave & eat it

[Superhoop1904]

Surely the food would rot more than that over that period of time?

It not

[Original Poster]

I'm sure the test they did in Supersize Me had very different results...

[Mr Gearchange]

Since air drying meat as a method of preservation is eons old this is hardly surprising.

The food is being air dried hence the lack of any noticeable decompostion. If it had been left in a damp environment it would have rotted down very quickly.

There are hundreds of food-stuff's that would 'survive' in exactly the same way. Complete non-story

Besides it's art not science, it is someone with an axe to grind going for a cheap and easy win.

Who cares what it'll be like in a few months? It'll be out my arse in a few hours!

Thank you! I am not alone - the wife thinks I am mad if i say '... and a fillet of fish for my wife....' - thought it was only me that remembered the advert or i had been dreaming.

I'll go now and lie down somewhere

Oh and you have to say "Villet of Vish for mah viyfe" in a pseudo transilvanian accent to be authentic

Yep, I seem to remember another artist doing something similar years ago.

Hippies really hate capitalist burgers...
