Fast Food Doesn't Break Down Fast at All

Okay its been a month since purchasing a 'muffin' from a certain fast food chain.

This morning it was time to cut this thing in half and see what's inside.

It was hard as a rock.  I resorted to a hand saw to get through it.There was literally 'muffin' dust as a by product of my sawing.



Findings:

• the muffin/cake part was hard - i could probably chisel something out of it
• the 'cranberries' were flaky on the outside, but still a bit spongy on the inside
• no visible signs of decomposition, no discolouration

Will it breakdown or start decomposing now that its been split in half?  Will find out next week.
