A group of baffled litter pickers were going about their business only to discover a 27-year-old Big Mac carton discarded near a McDonald's. Created in 1996, the fast food packaging dates back to a time where Three Lions was topping the charts, Trainspotting was a box office hit and Tickle Me Elmo was the top kids toy.
The almost perfectly intact polystyrene wrapper was found dumped in the undergrowth along St Richards Road in Evesham, Worcester, last Thursday (January 26).
Laura Van Toller, organiser at Anti-Litter Evesham, came across the unlikely item in the shrubbery around a quarter of a mile away from the nearest McDonald's.
