The everlasting Happy Meal

[3a]

Looking almost as fresh as the day it was bought, this McDonald's Happy Meal is in fact a staggering six months old.
Photographed every day for the past half a year by Manhattan artist Sally Davies the kids meal of fries and burger is without a hint of mould or decay.

Entitled 'The Happy Meal Project', Mrs Davies, 54, has charted the seemingly indestructible fast food meals progress as it refuses to yield to the forces of nature.

Sitting on a shelf in her apartment, Sally has watched the Happy Meal with increasing shock and even her dogs have resisted the urge to try and steal a free tasty snack.
'I bought the meal on April 10 of this year and brought it home with the express intention of leaving it out to see how it fared,' she said.
'The first thing that struck me on day two of the experiment was that it no longer emitted any smell.
'And then the second point of note was that on the second day, my dogs stopped circling the shelf it was sitting on trying to see what was up there.'

Expecting the food to begin moulding after a few days, Mrs Davies' surprise turned to shock as the fries and burger still had not shown any signs of decomposition after two weeks.
'It was then that I realised that something strange might be going on with this food that I had bought,' she explained.
'The fries shrivelled slightly as did the burger patty, but the overall appearance of the food did not change as the weeks turned to months.
'And now, at six months old, the food is plastic to the touch and has an acrylic sheen to it.
'The only change that I can see is that it has become hard as a rock.'

Its all the chemicals and perservatives. Have you watched super sized me? The worst part of that was finding out there is hardly any chicken in the CHICKEN mcnuggets. But because its cheap to people with no money they still buy it, even me!

So is eating a happy meal the new fountain of youth?

I think its the exact opposite.

Ive personally seen it at over a year looking smaller and harder but perfectly preserved

Yes, I saw the movie. It’s also scary to see the way the food is so addictive to the point that you get depressed if you don’t have any.
But seriously, food that doesn’t rotten can’t be consider real food, can it?

I think the depression also comes from whatever is in that "food". If they keep this up the food will start to come back to life.

... and all around the world people would worship the zombie happy meal and would kill in his name… hmmm, this sounds awfully familiar.

That's why the bodies last longer than the caskets now. They're slowly turning us into green plastic army men. Soon they'll be able to just recycle us with plastic milk jugs.
