13 October, 2010 Immortal burgers
It seems there’s no shortage of photographer interest in fast food, and Sally Davies‘ recent McDonald’s Happy Meal Project suggests that eating only foods that will eventually rot may be easier said than done.
On 10 April, 2010 she purchased a fresh McDonald’s Happy Meal and she’s been photographing it regularly ever since. After 180 days there was very little sign of decay – apparently because it is so “fatty, salty and practically empty of nutrients.”
But if you think that’s a long time, Karen Hanrahan has kept a McDonald’s hamburger since 1996!
That’s it on the left; the one on the right is from 2008.
Scary but kinda awesome too, right?
And just in case all this has inspired you to start your own burger collection, here are some DIY instructions.
