Burger King's offer of 'part-time positions' for Prince Harry takes internet by storm
20-year old McDonald's burger
Previously, in January, a man named David Whipple claimed hat he has a McDonald's hamburger that he bought 20 years ago. The hamburger in the picture looks exactly like it was in 1999 when David bought it from a Logan (Utah) outlet. According to David, only the smell of the hamburger has changed in 20 years as it smells more like cardboard now. David kept the burger for so many years as he planned to use it for an experiment about enzymes.
