McRibb Project

Let's talk about fries... This experiment was originally all about the McRib, but the fries are pretty remarkable. I've had real fries before...real fries get moldy and funky whether they are kept in the fridge or in my car. Let's see...

McDonald's fries ingredients:
Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*, citric acid [preservative]), dextrose, sodium acid
pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to
preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an anti-foaming agent.

Surprisingly, potatoes are an ingredient.

Eat me. (At your own risk.)

11 month analysis: The sandwich has virtually no odor. The fries smell like plastic. The bun is hard as granite. No mold. No bugs.

Almost one year old!!
The patty appears to have shrunk a little, and my cat knocked it over several months ago breaking the bottom bun... But other than that nothing has changed! Even the fries look as fresh as they did they day they were purchased!

Old McDonald had a farm ee-i-ee-i-o....and on his farm he had some McPork patties with BHA and BHT and propyl gallate! WTF??
