Something Creepy About This McDonald’s Happy Meal

There’s something unsettling about this seemingly innocuous Happy Meal.

A Facebook user named Jennifer Lovdahl from Anchorage, Alaska publicly posted two photos to her account of what appears to be a McDonald’s Happy Meal that she allegedly purchased on January 8, 2010. Lovdahl alleged that she kept the meal intact and uneaten for 6 years, only to discover something especially strange — the Happy Meal never decomposed.

“It’s been 6 years since I bought this ‘Happy Meal’ at McDonald’s,” says Lovdahl about the meal consisting of a 4-piece Chicken McNuggets and a small order of fries — in a box advertising the 2009 animated motion picture “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” — it remained virtually free of mold or any signs of aging and “smells only of cardboard.”

In the same Facebook caption, Lovdahl further went on to say that she posted the images as “an experiment” to bring awareness to her patients of the hidden dangers of feeding children fast food that doesn’t rot; and its questionable healthiness.

According to British newspaper The Independent, McDonald's has a explanation for why their food doesn't rot: moisture and dehydration. As listed in McDonald's FAQ page: "Food needs moisture in the air for mold to form. Without it, food will simply dry out -- sort of like bread left out on a counter overnight to make croutons for stuffing. You might have seen experiments which seem to show no decomposition in our food. Most likely, this is because the food has dehydrated before any visible deterioration could occur." "There are so many chemicals in this food!" Lovdahl closes in her caption. "Choose real food!" Related: Irish Woman Finds Maggot In McDonald's Happy Meal
