Okay, now, uh, when McDonald's closed all its restaurants in Iceland in 2009, 15 years ago, one man decided to buy his last hamburger and fries. First of all, I've never heard of McDonald's going out of business, ever, so that's first. Okay, I've heard that McDonald's never decomposes, so I just wanted to see if it was true or not. Okay, more than a decade later, this seemingly indestructible meal barely looks a day older. It currently resides in a glass cabinet in southern Iceland. Sigurdur told BBC News, "It's a fun thing, of course, but it makes you think about what you're eating. There's no mold. It's only paper wrapping that looks old." Here's the thing. I told y'all. See how the paper turning like an old Bible? Like a Bible from the 1800s.
