It's not "preservatives" it's just fuck loads of salt. The preservative is salt. Not some evil nazi experimental science lab chemical. Salt. How do you think beef jerky is made?
Yeah, food poisoning is the least of their worries. What ever money they save of delivery fees will be paid tenfold in healthcare bills from eating that much fast food
McDonald's food has enough sodium that it barely rots. I think that shit would be OK if you left that burger on the dashboard of your car in July For a week and Stull be okay.
The FDA says cooked meat will last 4 days, but they also tell you to cook poultry to 165. The advice in both cases is oversimplified. Poultry pasteurizes in just a minute at 155. No need to take it too well done.
if we are talking about McDonalds, it wont go bad even if it is in the fridge for 2 weeks. The bread gets soggy, but it can be avoided if you put them in ziploc bags.
Theres low moisture and high preservatives. Of you ate all the burgers in a week timespan and they were frozen as soon as you got home, there is little extra risk from food poisoning.
Nope. If they prepared it improperly such that you should get food poisoning, the first round would likely be the most dangerous. Then it's up to you to refrigerate it and reheat it to safe temperatures. If it's reheated to above 165° for more than 15 seconds you'd kill off 90% of anything that could have been dangerous, the quality will just suffer the longer it sits around. Depending on what was growing in the food you might get trace poisonous remains, but most rotten food isn't dangerous if cooked, it just tastes bad.
hi, i know you probably didn’t mean it maliciously, but your comment is pretty ignorant. have you taken into account people who can’t afford consistent, proper, or healthy meals? or those those with limited safe foods?
Does he not understand how refrigeration works? They won’t be at their best after a few days, but food poising even after 5-7 is unlikely. Now I can’t say eating 20 burgers a week is advisable from a health perspective, but who knows. Some people with the right genes can do this shit their whole lives and live to be 100.
I mean, from a nutritional prospective. The hamburger is one of the most nutritionally complete items on the menu. Add French fries and a sugar drink to the equation and now it’s unhealthy.
An Army buddy of mine had a soldier under his command in the mid 1980s who couldn't budget his money. He had to take an advance every month so he could feed his wife and kid so my buddy budgeted for him and gave him 200 dollars for food for the month. The guy went to Burger King and bought a month's worth of hamburgers and fries and froze them to feed his family.
Taste aside, 20 cheeseburgers in a week? 7 days, 3 meals a day is only 21 meals. Maybe reheat them while in a hospital cafeteria, cuz you're gonna need medical treatment soon enough.
to get food posioning you'd have to have consumed food. If a mcdonald's burger can sit in a glass jar and not even go mouldy after 10 years, you're safe.
Worst food poising I ever had was from Wendy’s. Hour after eating I was shitting and then came simultaneous violent shitting and projectile vomiting. Next week was just feeling terrible. Nothing to do with door dash just thought you all would like the story.
These burgers are full of preservatives and what not. I don't think they can even go bad that fast. Once I had a burger from McDonalds and like 2 days later, it was still edible and even tasted the exact same. It was just dry that's all
When I did my military service (I'm from a country with conscription), a guy brought seven McD cheeseburgers to a seven-day field exercise. He ate one each day, and was perfectly fine after.
One of my teachers had a tale of how she dormed for 4 years straight in college in the same place. In her first year someone left a Big Mac somewhere and when they moved out she found it and while it didn't look great, it wasn't spoiled either...
In elementary school, I had a classmates who ran an experiment on how long burgers last from different fast food chains. McDonalds was on the list. After 108 days the burger and fries looked almost identical to day 1. A little shriveled but didn’t look rotten or anything
Also to his credit, it a McDonald's cheeseburger, basically artificial and full of preservatives, those things will past week's in a hot car and still be fine to eat
It is properly cooked through and stored in the fridge. Also it dries up which preserves it even more. Before reheating add a bit of water to "steam" it. Should be safe to eat.
I had an employee once who bought five McDonald’s hamburgers each weekend and brought them for her lunches throughout the week. She was in her 70s, that was several years ago, and she’s still kicking around just fine.
Former biologist here. The only way to do this is to immediately freeze them and reheat to 165 degrees before eating then. Frozen they should be good for about a month.. Refrigerator 1 to 2 days, assuming a through reheat
My grandma bought Big Macs on sale and froze them for later. She died following complications after a cancerous mass was removed from her colon. Probably totally unrelated..
When I was a kid McDonald’s would do 4 cheeseburgers for a dollar. Everytime we would go spend a weekend at my uncles house he would go buy $10 worth of cheeseburgers and fill a drawer on the refrigerator. We never got sick and he didn’t have to listen to 4 kids bothering him because they wanted a snack.
With the preservatives he's probably fine. I worked there and the cheese is borderline plastic with it never molding despite supposedly being cheese. Lol. The issue is eating that much McDonalds in a week probably isn't particularly good.
I relate there was a time roughly full years ago or more that I used to do the same thing but that was mostly because I was poor as f***. In fact I'm probably even full and with all the inflation this is why I no longer even get to do that.
If I’m going on a solo road trip and I know I’m gonna be on the road for a few days, I’ll buy an extra large pizza and just eat it as I drive lol usually lasts a couple days and saves money and time
Where is the burger encased in epoxy resin that was being posted on reddit? Just remembered that the updates was helping me keep track of the passing time for a bit.
Dude I use to do that for the work week. I would order like 20 burgers. Set it one on the dash when I got to the job site had a warm yummy burger at lunch time.
back in the mid 90s, while living for a bit in Moscow, I used to buy McDonald's cheese burgers in batches. I'd take them home, separate the buns from the patties, then freeze them. It was way cheaper than buying frozen burgers (and western food items) at Stockmann.
My sister in law once ate a burger that was at the bottom of her purse for God knows how long that she forgot about until one day she cleaned out her purse....
I found one under the seat of a used car I bought once. Not sure how long it was there. It looked like it was basically fresh except it was hard as a rock. I don’t think they are actual food tbh 😂
… does this guy think that the original poster just keeps the food out on the table the entire time? Like dude there’s this handy new invention called a refrigerator
They are so full of preservatives you could probably keep them on the car dashboard in the tropics and they wouldn’t rot
Im pretty sure there was this I’m one dude who kept one in his closet for like 30 years or something
Sun bird angry that people don't do that, wants hamburger
You could go to the junkyard today. Go find a minivan from the early 80s.
Also like, a burger should last a week in the fridge.
I like that JR completely forgot that refrigerators are a thing.
Tbh if he(or she) has to heat them up you’d assume they’d be refrigerated at some point after purchase
The McDonald’s fries under the seat in my car have looked the same for years
It's not "preservatives" it's just fuck loads of salt. The preservative is salt. Not some evil nazi experimental science lab chemical. Salt. How do you think beef jerky is made?
Yes, until about 6 months or else he’ll end up like
I live in the tropics. Everything rots quickly
Yeah, food poisoning is the least of their worries. What ever money they save of delivery fees will be paid tenfold in healthcare bills from eating that much fast food
They wouldn’t rot, instead it would completely disappear in an hour or so
Remember that time lapse video someone made of McDonalds fast food vs regular burgers and fries? Yeah, OP is sadly correct.
Preservatives cannot stop mold. You really need to keep it sealed.
theres no preservatives in the burger meat
If you properly refrigerate them would there even be a considerable risk of food poisoning??
Yeah I don’t understand this. Fast food companies entire purpose is mass producing food, so the quantity shouldn’t matter either.
Refrigerate, heat them up properly and only once and chances of food Poisoning is pretty slim.
McDonald's food has enough sodium that it barely rots. I think that shit would be OK if you left that burger on the dashboard of your car in July For a week and Stull be okay.
I hope he understands how fridge works
Russians were freezing them when McDonald’s said they would shut down in Russia
The FDA says cooked meat will last 4 days, but they also tell you to cook poultry to 165. The advice in both cases is oversimplified. Poultry pasteurizes in just a minute at 155. No need to take it too well done.
After 4 days they’d probably go bad but even then I don’t think you’d necessarily get food poisoning but idk
if we are talking about McDonalds, it wont go bad even if it is in the fridge for 2 weeks. The bread gets soggy, but it can be avoided if you put them in ziploc bags.
Theres low moisture and high preservatives. Of you ate all the burgers in a week timespan and they were frozen as soon as you got home, there is little extra risk from food poisoning.
Days 1-4 no issue Day 5-7......ehhhhhhhhh you're probably at 70% safe
Nope. If they prepared it improperly such that you should get food poisoning, the first round would likely be the most dangerous. Then it's up to you to refrigerate it and reheat it to safe temperatures. If it's reheated to above 165° for more than 15 seconds you'd kill off 90% of anything that could have been dangerous, the quality will just suffer the longer it sits around.

Food poison is the least of their concerns. Eating 20 fast food burgers a week is disgusting.
2.857 bpd (borger per day)
I cannot imagine how people eat like that every day. Don’t you start feeling bloated and sick after a certain point?
hey man when youre so short on money that youre trying to save on delivery, disgusting no longer plays a factor. - sincerely, every uni student
I eat fast food twice a month tops, and right after eating I already feel disgusting.
I was about to say I hope this person understands how obesity works
hi, i know you probably didn’t mean it maliciously, but your comment is pretty ignorant. have you taken into account people who can’t afford consistent, proper, or healthy meals? or those those with limited safe foods?
Does he not understand how refrigeration works? They won’t be at their best after a few days, but food poising even after 5-7 is unlikely.

The guy went to Burger King and bought a month's worth of hamburgers and fries and froze them to feed his family.
Bro could’ve gotten so much ground beef/buns/frozen fries or potatoes for that $200 especially back in the 80’s. Dude was still being an idiot
I am bothered that he met married and reproduced with another person who also didn’t understand what a grocery store was.
You won’t get food poisoning from eating a week old McDonald’s burger hockey puck.
But you may get congestive heart failure tho eating like that.
Not seeing a great risk. Burgers are fully cooked already and as long as they're refrigerated properly they should be fine for couple of days.
You're confusing burgers for food.
Correction:
I think the bigger concern is how shit they will taste.... rather make some fresh KD/instant noodle/rice/beans at that point
For me the biggest concern is his diet. Being healthy is not a luxury
I do something similar when I don't want to go to the grocery store
Taste aside, 20 cheeseburgers in a week? 7 days, 3 meals a day is only 21 meals. Maybe reheat them while in a hospital cafeteria, cuz you're gonna need medical treatment soon enough.

Who eats 20 cheeseburgers a week. Damn. I love them but probably don’t eat 20 cheeseburgers a year.
I like OP’s attempt in crossing “killer” off but it still shows
Hahaha - totally anonymous now! No one can read my name and judge my life choices.
Came to say this
@JR53159 was hoping he knows how food poisoning works because he doesn't lol.
A man’s gotta eat, Julian.
That's not how food poisoning works.
That’s not how food poisoning works.
Has JR never heard of a fridge
JR is clearly a door dash shill looking out for those missed delivery fees
saddest thing I’ve seen all day. And it’s Monday
Toss it in the freezer. Worked on humans in the films didn't it?
Why would food poisoning be an issue? The burgers would be just fine in the fridge for 5 days. Even at 7 they should still be ok, just a little dry.
Plus these are Mc D products so they could leave them out at room temp they’re still be fine
Not even meat without preservatives would rot in the fridge within a week
What's really shocking here is that someone actually eats 20 cheeseburgers per week. They must look like a fuel tanker viewed from behind!
Are we ignoring the part where this person eats 20 cheeseburgers a week?!
Worst food poising I ever had was from Wendy’s. Hour after eating I was shitting and then came simultaneous violent shitting and projectile vomiting. Next week was just feeling terrible. Nothing to do with door dash just thought you all would like the story.
In these parts, we call the The Civil War sickness cause the North is battling the South for toilet privileges.
20 cheeseburgers Randy, you ate 20 cheeseburgers. You promised me this would never happen again.
I would be more worried that this person eats 20 burgers a week
1 week = 7 days. 20 cheeseburgers per week is almost 3 cheeseburgers per day.
Those burguers don't root since Microbia are scared of them.
Ngl 20 cheeseburgers would last me 2 days max
Does that person not understand how refrigerators work
We are all ignoring the fact this dude has a cheeseburger addiction right now.
These burgers are full of preservatives and what not. I don't think they can even go bad that fast. Once I had a burger from McDonalds and like 2 days later, it was still edible and even tasted the exact same. It was just dry that's all
When I did my military service (I'm from a country with conscription), a guy brought seven McD cheeseburgers to a seven-day field exercise. He ate one each day, and was perfectly fine after.
If you need to save money why are you using door dash
One of my teachers had a tale of how she dormed for 4 years straight in college in the same place. In her first year someone left a Big Mac somewhere and when they moved out she found it and while it didn't look great, it wasn't spoiled either...
In elementary school, I had a classmates who ran an experiment on how long burgers last from different fast food chains. McDonalds was on the list. After 108 days the burger and fries looked almost identical to day 1. A little shriveled but didn’t look rotten or anything
Honestly though those burgers are probably safe in fridge for 3 to 4 days before they start going bad
Pretty sure food poisoning doesn’t understand the way McDonald’s cheeseburgers work
Iv certainly bought more than one before to reheat a day or 2 later. But 20 for a week? I'd pass.
I literally got food poisoning from a burger last weekend, I'm still sick.
They say this like they go moldy or something...
Just freeze them.
If the person keeps them in the fridge why would they be harmful?
Or cook a big amount of food and eat through week
He won’t get food poisoning assuming he’s properly refrigerating them. Will it be good? No. But you won’t get food poisoning from it.
Not understanding how refrigerator and food in general works is what I can call top privilege.
“I hope you know how food poisoning works” I hope you know how getting bitches works. Sheesh
I’d like to introduce you to air fryer
Someone has almost, but not quite, got the hang of forward planning.
Also to his credit, it a McDonald's cheeseburger, basically artificial and full of preservatives, those things will past week's in a hot car and still be fine to eat
should get 21 burgers a week to destroy 3 a day
If he froze them..
Ninety-nine red-dit reposts~
You won’t get food poisoning from that lol. Who tf is this guy?
Don't buy online some veg food,go to the shop and eat many fast food.
It’s gross but as long as it’s refrigerated, he shouldn’t get food poisoning if he eats them in a week.
If its McDonald's they will be fine
Thems McD burgers fool, they eternal. Is what the voice of Mr T was shouting in my head as I read this.
mcdonalds food takes fucking forever to go bad
Yeah i Think I’ve seen a video of a McDonald’s hamburger that she stored for I think 15 or 20 years and there weren’t even mold on it
They'd get dry but not make you sick unless they were bad in the first place. I've gotten sick off "fresh" McDonald's before as is
Good job blurring out the name
madlads
JR would fall over in a stiff breeze
Food poisoning is the least of your worries if that's how you're eating.
Pffft people and their weak stomachs (swallows last bite of 3 week old chicken Kiev)
My brother in law use to keep McDonald’s sausage biscuits under the seat of his car for breakfast for a few days. Never got sick lol.
Food poisoning would be the least of his problems. I'd be more worried about high blood pressure and malnutrition.
So gross, but way to stick it to the man I guess.
My boyfriend literally does this with McDonald’s. I don’t understand how he hasn’t gotten sick yet 🥴
The preservatives in mcdonalds food is enough to keep it bacteria free for 40 years
Bruh mccdonalds legit un-invented food poisoning.
If you get them into the fridge in a decent amount of time, it’s not going to kill you.
Advice for the anti work sheeple
I don't think JR knows how food poisoning works.
I saw a video of an old lady that kept McDonald’s food locked away for 20 or 40 years and it hadn’t decomposed at all, it only looked stale
plastic takes thousands of years to decompose so he is right
It is properly cooked through and stored in the fridge. Also it dries up which preserves it even more. Before reheating add a bit of water to "steam" it. Should be safe to eat.
Stick them in the freezer until you heat it and eat it. That's how all the frozen burgers are sold : precooked and frozen.
McDoubles are 2 for 4 bucks!!
Add a Bitch on the end and I think you got it
I had an employee once who bought five McDonald’s hamburgers each weekend and brought them for her lunches throughout the week. She was in her 70s, that was several years ago, and she’s still kicking around just fine.
Bacteria can’t live on that shit.
Former biologist here. The only way to do this is to immediately freeze them and reheat to 165 degrees before eating then. Frozen they should be good for about a month.. Refrigerator 1 to 2 days, assuming a through reheat
You’re still a biologist to me! 😉
OP: 1
Its like people don't know freezers exist
They are filled with preservatives anyway
Can't get food poisoning if it's not even food in the first place.
Yes, made my day. Just a demon.
back in the early 2000s McDonalds had this thing where their regular generic "cheese burger" was like 34 cents. and i think a hamburger was even less.
My grandma bought Big Macs on sale and froze them for later. She died following complications after a cancerous mass was removed from her colon. Probably totally unrelated..
My SO thinks that you can just cook spoiled food and it’ll “kill all the bad stuff”. I do most of the cooking now
The one man cheeseburger apocalypse
Logic
Like how killer is censored. Fucking morons.
I remember a guy from high school who ate cheeseburger that sat for a week in a locker. That didn’t kill him but he didn’t make it out of his 20’s
Randy BoBandy
Wasn't there that one person who kept a McDonald's burger in their closet and multiple decades later the burger was still completely fine?
I do this, I ate nothing but McDoubles for an entire week one time.
I feel like you could rub a McDonald’s burger on food that would poison you and the chemicals in the burger would kill the germs
Enough chemicals to act as hand sanitizer
He didn’t say he didn’t refrigerate them
When I was a kid McDonald’s would do 4 cheeseburgers for a dollar. Everytime we would go spend a weekend at my uncles house he would go buy $10 worth of cheeseburgers and fill a drawer on the refrigerator. We never got sick and he didn’t have to listen to 4 kids bothering him because they wanted a snack.
It’s food poisoning in its original state so what’s the difference?
With the preservatives he's probably fine. I worked there and the cheese is borderline plastic with it never molding despite supposedly being cheese. Lol. The issue is eating that much McDonalds in a week probably isn't particularly good.
Well now we know which one to not pick for the basketball team.
Freeze em’ ?
Perfect
RANDY!!
Why is killer scratched out?
I relate there was a time roughly full years ago or more that I used to do the same thing but that was mostly because I was poor as f***. In fact I'm probably even full and with all the inflation this is why I no longer even get to do that.
My brother was feeding me quite often when we were younger and on Tues and Thur it was .29 cent and .39 cent burgers that we’d eat for a few days.
If I’m going on a solo road trip and I know I’m gonna be on the road for a few days, I’ll buy an extra large pizza and just eat it as I drive lol usually lasts a couple days and saves money and time
reheated mcd's is absolutely vile
What they even taste good at that point
Food poisoning is crazy and all but don't McDonald's taste like actual shit reheated
Where is the burger encased in epoxy resin that was being posted on reddit? Just remembered that the updates was helping me keep track of the passing time for a bit.
Man I thought my screen was cracked 😂
Chzburgr half-life = ?
My mans got it figured out
Randy Bobandy?
bossfights
Randy you cheeseburger locker
Dude I use to do that for the work week. I would order like 20 burgers. Set it one on the dash when I got to the job site had a warm yummy burger at lunch time.
Fuck that guy, I work at fast food and people like that are hell
Dude won't need to be embalmed after death. He's about 80% preserved already.
Clearly JR has no idea how food poisoning works.
People kept mcdonalds in a desk drawer for a few months as an experiment and it only dried out but never got moldy or anything
Uuuuuh. We left one of those in our gym on an I beam for 2 years. No mold. Looked almost exactly the same.
Coach l4d2
For some reason I feel like Jr doesn't understand how refrigeration works, to prevent food poisoning...
I believe even the FDA says that refrigerating these for 4 days is absolutely fine
Everyone knows food thats been in the fridge for less than a week is basically poison
back in the mid 90s, while living for a bit in Moscow, I used to buy McDonald's cheese burgers in batches. I'd take them home, separate the buns from the patties, then freeze them. It was way cheaper than buying frozen burgers (and western food items) at Stockmann.
Okay Ron Swanson
It's all good if you keep them in the freezer
My sister in law once ate a burger that was at the bottom of her purse for God knows how long that she forgot about until one day she cleaned out her purse....
I found one under the seat of a used car I bought once. Not sure how long it was there. It looked like it was basically fresh except it was hard as a rock. I don’t think they are actual food tbh 😂
He makes me feel good about my diet, and I basically eat sandwiches and sweets since she left me My breakfast today was apple licor and a cigarette
Wow americans are disgusting.
Built different
… does this guy think that the original poster just keeps the food out on the table the entire time? Like dude there’s this handy new invention called a refrigerator
