20年前的麥當勞漢堡看起來跟新的一樣

Day-old bread, meet 20-year-old burger.

過期的面包，20年的漢堡。

A Utah man unveiled a McDonald’s burger from two decades ago and it still looks like it was fresh off the grill, as seen in a new video.

近日，美國猶他州的一名男子推出了一款20年前的麥當勞漢堡，從視頻中可以看到，這款漢堡看起來仍然像是剛從烤架上拿下來的。

David Whipple, of Heber City, purchased what he nicknamed the “world’s oldest hamburger” at a Logan McDonald’s on July 7, 1999, to use in a presentation on deterioration, reports KUTV 2 News in Salt Lake City.

據鹽湖城的KUTV 2新聞報道，1999年7月7日，赫伯市的大衛(wèi)·惠普爾在洛根麥當勞買了一個他昵稱為“世界上最古老的漢堡”，用來做一個關于變質的演示。

However, Whipple’s plan backfired spectacularly after he left the sandwich in his coat pocket and didn’t find it until 14 years later, according to a video by KUTV 2 from 2013, when his wife rediscovered the antique burger. Despite lasting almost three presidencies, the miracle meat patty looked fresh and didn’t give off any smell, he said at the time.

然而，惠普爾的計劃卻事與愿違。據2013年庫特夫2號拍攝的一段視頻顯示，惠普爾把三明治放在外套口袋里，直到14年后才找到它。他當時說，盡管已經當了三屆總統(tǒng)，但奇跡般的肉餅看起來很新鮮，沒有任何氣味。

Stunned by its longevity, the couple put the fast-food fountain of youth on eBay, where it went up to “something like $2,000,” said Whipple. But they opted not to sell the hamburger, and instead saved the immortal patty and bun in a tin which resembles a Big Mac.

惠普爾說，這對夫婦被它的長壽驚呆了，于是把“青春之泉”放在eBay上，賣到了“2000美元左右”。但他們選擇不賣漢堡包，而是把不朽的肉餅和小圓面包保存在一個類似巨無霸的罐頭里。

Recently, Whipple opened the sandwich sarcophagus for the first time in six years to discover that the burger hadn’t changed much. In a video for the news station, he quipped the burger only faintly smelled of cardboard and “the pickle’s the only thing that’s disintegrated.”

最近，惠普爾六年來第一次打開這個三明治的石棺，發(fā)現這個漢堡并沒有什么變化。在新聞電視臺的一段視頻中，他打趣道，這種漢堡只有一股淡淡的紙板味，“泡菜是唯一分解的東西。”

“It looks like you could just heat this up in the microwave and just eat it,” Whipple’s daughter Julie Jackson said, adding that “you’d probably die.”

惠普爾的女兒朱莉·杰克遜說:“看起來你只要用微波爐把它加熱就可以吃了。”

This isn’t the first fast-food item that defied Father Time. A McDonald’s superfan in Iceland went viral with a burger and fries that showed no signs of decay despite being ordered in 2009.

這不是第一個藐視時間老人的快餐。冰島一位麥當勞的超級粉絲在網上瘋傳了一款漢堡和薯條，盡管他在2009年就點了這款漢堡和薯條，但卻沒有任何變質的跡象。
