TikTok Experiment Compares 30-Day-Old Big Macs

A viral TikTok experiment compared a 30-day-old Big Mac from McDonald’s in the US to one from Japan, with the American burger looking practically new while the Japanese one was “all moldy and hairy.”

The experiment highlighted the stark difference in decay between the two burgers, with the Japanese Big Mac molding and smelling bad, while the American one appeared fresh and unchanged.

The video of the experiment went viral, sparking discussions about the use of chemicals and preservatives in fast food, reminiscent of previous experiments like the one in the documentary Super Size Me.

The creators of the TikTok experiment followed up with a sales pitch for a health protocol, raising questions about the sincerity of the experiment but not diminishing the mystery of the decay difference.

The contrast between the decaying Japanese burger and the seemingly immortal American one raises concerns about the nature of fast food and the use of preservatives in the US food industry.
