A new viral TikTok experiment just compared a 30-day-old Big Mac from McDonald’s in the United States to one from Japan, and while the Japanese burger was “all moldy and hairy,” the American one still looked practically new. The TikTok creator, Joe Orton, was so shocked by the lack of decay in his burger that he straight-up concluded, “Mine isn’t food. This is industrialized. This is engineered to last forever, not to feed you.”
That’s right, a month after purchase, the US version looked like it had just been made, which is honestly the stuff of nightmares when you think about what we’re consuming here. This experiment is just the latest in a long line of viral food comparisons that really make you stop and think about the fast food we eat. No thanks to an adult happy meal after this.
