In another strange incident, earlier this year, a man named David Whipple claimed that he had a McDonald's hamburger that he bought 20-years-ago and the burger even after so many years still looked the same. 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.

Another man, back in 2009, bought a McDonald's meal to see how long it would take to decompose. The man bought the meal in 2009 when McDonald's announced that it was shutting down operations in Iceland. It's been more than 10 years since the hamburger was bought and according to Smarason, it still looks the same. The burger is kept in a glass cabinet in Snotra House, a hostel in southern Iceland.
