Ok, who wants to go get a hamburger at Micky D's?

I would think after the first couple days there wouldn't be sufficient moisture to create mold. If you kept sheetrock slightly damp out of sunlight for a few days it would mold. I doubt sheetrock and water is more nutritious than McD's?

I'm game. I'd like a #4 with a large coke please. Oh wait, its before 10:30, so I'll take a #12 with a large coke.

Anyone else study the position of the french fries in each picture? They seem to move from shot to shot. How many happy meals did she REALLY have?

Nah. You can track certain french fries and for sure it's the same bun. It's just that the only time I have mold on bread is when it's in the package. I've never let meat be out that long but dehydrated protein might not attract mold. I bet an animal or insects would still eat it though.
I'm reminded of the morgue guy clinging to a burger for PETA. I think it's kinda unfair to an American institution.
