• Question: Basically, i watched this programme on youtube.. a group of guys took 4 burgers from mcdonalds and chips ... they also brought a propper burger made from real beef and real chips... They put everything in seperate jars and left them.. after ten weeks everything was covered in mould except for the mcdonalds chips.. why?

      Hey klaudia1998!

      I watched this too! Its absolutely gross isn’t it! I don’t eat McDonald’s and after watching that i was so glad i don’t! I don’t really know to be honest but i assume it is to do with all the preservative and natural things that are put into the McDonald’s food that stops it from decaying naturally.

      Hi klaudia1998,

      I also don’t eat McDonalds, mainly because I like to know what is going into my food and they do use a lot of preservatives and other ingredients which are not as natural as I would like! Not a pleasant thought though! I would assume like Nuala, that it is these preservatives that are causing the fries to not grow mould on them!
