The point of this video is... That McDonalds taste yummy and that you can leave it out for weeks and still eat it?

Ahhh, I don't think so. My son recently left part of a sonic chili dog in the truck and it was moldy in a couple of days when I found it. True, it's not McDonalds, but not too far from it.

Now Twinkies may be a different story. (20 yr. shelf life???)

When, in a different incarnation, I was principal at a boarding school, I had the cafeteria staff save all the uneaten food in plastic bags for me, to take home & compost. This saved them the trouble of a frequently clogged septic system, and provided me with an abundance of organic material for composting. Every Friday I took a pickup load of uneaten food home & dumped it into the compost bins. This wasn't McDonalds food but it was the same commercial, fast food grade stuff that passes for food in institutions such as schools, prisons (same thing), senior centers, fast food joints... nation wide. Keep it moist, turn it (keep it aerobic) & I assure you it rots just fine.

I would like to see a time lapse video of 2 minutes taken over 7 days of a big mac and fries at room temperature.

That would be a strange time lapse. I think two minutes would be to long. I would get impatient. About a minute and 2 weeks would work better.

When I moved my couch a while back, I found a rock hard piece of chocolate cake from a couple years ago. Maybe McDs will want that recipe

We had some renovation at the hotel I work at 4 years ago, and one of the workers left a half eaten mcmuffin in one of the store rooms, once every few months we go in there to do something and we have been beaming each other in the ass and throwing it against walls for the last 4 years,,,,, I SWEAR, the thing looks edible,, AND,, it has never come apart, even after throwing it agianst the wall many times,,, HARD. I still eat the crap though..

mmmmmmmmmmm ,,,, mcmuffin,,,,

During the past few months, I didn't think it was possible, but McD has gotten disgusting for me.
I still eat it though :)

And their iced coffees aren't gross.

Gimme a break. The stuff doesn't decompose because there's almost no water in it. Throw a slice of bread out on the counter and it will be unchanged in four years. Leave it in the bag and it will mold because it's kept moist.

1. The other frenchfries molded in a few days.

2. Good bread will get moldy in a few days.

3. The real fries became moldy quickly. The highly processed non-nutritional fries did nnot. this is the whole point. The lids were on to keep in moisture.

4. This was a very nicely done double un-blind study.

There is no nutrition in the fries, or microorganisms would grow, this fact of non-nutrition may help prevent life.

The point was, for life to continue, you have to have elements for life, there is none here.

You think it is the water but it isnt. highly processed foods without water will not mold. Non-processed foods without water will mold.
Dried whole wheat bread will quickly mold.

White flour needs no refrigeration at all, whole wheat flour must be transported in refrigerated cargo containers

that is the whole point.

No nutrition.

You must like McDonald fries, am I right?

try and grow bacteria on an agar plate with no additives. It doesn't work. Neither do nutrition free starch fries.
