Where’s the beef? The better question may be what’s in the beef.
What’s believed to be the world’s oldest McDonald’s Quarter Pounder is about to celebrate a milestone birthday.
Casey Dean and Eduards Nits purchased the Quarter Pounder — since dubbed the “Senior Burger” by its keepers — from a Golden Arches location in Australia back in 1995, and this November, the old burger turns 30.
Dean and Nits have kept the Senior Burger carefully wrapped in its original, McD’s-stamped beige paper packaging all this time — though it looks like it hasn’t aged a day.
Despite having never been refrigerated and spending the past 30 years being stuffed in cupboards, garbage bags and sheds, it’s still “eerily intact” and hasn’t developed any mold or bad odor, Dean, a dog trainer and musician, told SFGate.

I stopped going to Mcd’s over a decade ago after reading about their ingredients.
Doesn’t Australia use the metric system?
I bet it still tastes the same too.
<< ‘It’s no longer food’ >>
Nonsense. It’s perfectly fine. Betcha Trump can digest it without an issue.
People with tick borne red meat 🥩 allergies (Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) can eat McDonalds
Big Macs are people!
What do they call it in Paris?
Is a 30 year old burger still edible?
Nothing. When the French heard a price war was coming they surrendered.
Quarter Pounders, at least now, are supposedly the only hamburger at McDonald’s that are fresh ground beef and cooked in the restaurant. All the other burger meat is pre-cooked and just warmed up.
No telling what they used to be or what preservatives are used - probably embalmed cattle or something.
When we would wind up on a very long incident, we would periodically get a bunch of McDonald’s burgers. I might have put one in a never used pocket of my officers bunker coat a few times.
Some weeks or months later he would find it and other than being desiccated, it looked almost identical to new. No smell, no rot, nothing.
Royals With Cheese.
Ugh. I once found a half eaten McDonald’s cheeseburger, in its wrapper, trapped inside a kitchen island in a house I was flipping. Obviously from the original contractors, so I estimated the petrified burger to be 23 years old.
Make that Royale with cheese. Damn spell check.
“Check out the big brain on Brad!”
The Royale with cheese. It’s made from real ingredients.
The best quality beef in the world would “no longer be food” after 30 years! Not even freeze dried meat would be recommended for human consumption by then.
The Pigs would turn up their noses and walk away insulted, if offered this as feed.
The only thing I eat at McD is the hash brown. Rest of it yuk
Oos. Bad math. The burger I found must have been 33 years old, not 23. Disgusting.
