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.

Fast Food Still Not Really Fast at Breaking Down

Still no real change in this muffin that was acquired almost a month ago!

Next week I will cut this thing open and see what - if anything is happening on the inside.

Well its been just over a week with the muffin.  Apart from the outside getting pretty hard, it hasn't changed in appearance one bit.

Fast Food Doesn't Break Down Fast At All

There's been a rash of posts of certain fast foods that don't decay, floating around my social media outlets.   One in particular post has a display of fast food that claims to be over 2 years old.  In the display is a burger, fries etc.  From the picture it appears that the decay process has yet to start.  The claim is that there is so much unnatural stuff in the food that it can hardly be called 'food'.

I'm not the most sceptical person, but i am no fast food proponent either.  So to appease my curiosity, i've decide to do my own little 'look this muffin is x days old experiment.

Here is  a muffin purchased from a certain fast food restaurant 3 days ago.    I will update my blog with new photos of this muffin and see for myself how long it lasts before succumbing to mould.
