McDonald's Happy Meal Experiment Reply: Our Burgers Get Mold Too!

It's hard to believe that a burger sitting on a living room in New York for six months can get mummified, to which McDonald's has implied. Even with the A/C unit on, the humidity in NYC is extremely high, especially during the summer months. And note, the roaches didn't eat it either.

To be fair, the correct scientific test would have been to place other foodstuffs on a plate next to the burger. However, I if the other foodstuffs decompose faster than the McFood - wouldn't that be worse for the Mighty Ronald and his McDonaldland friends?
