Does McDonald’s food decompose?

Iceland is one of the few Western countries in the world that currently does not have a McDonald’s. They did at one point, about a decade ago, but when they announced that they were shutting down the nation’s Mickey D’s, a man decided that he needed to buy the last meal that anyone in the country could get at the restaurant. For 10 years, he’s had McDonald’s sitting there, waiting for nature to take its course.

“I had heard that McDonald’s never decomposed so I just wanted to see if it was true or not.”

The burger now sits inside of the Snotra House, which as we all know is a hostel inside of Thykkvibaer in southern Iceland.
