Iceland's last McDonalds burger and fries on display
In 2009, following the economic crash, McDonalds left Iceland and on October 31 that year, before the global fast-food chain closed its doors for the last time, a man called Hejörtur Smárason bought a burger and some fries.
Instead of eating the meal, he kept it in a plastic bag for the next three years, as he wanted to find out whether it would decompose. He told Icelandic paper mbl.is he was interested in conducting an experiment into rumours he had heard about the food.
In 2012 he gave the burger to the National Museum of Iceland, where it was displayed until recently.
The museum then told him they could no longer preserve the burger, and gave it back to him, so he gave it to his friends who run the Bus Hostel in Reykjavik. He told mbl.is,
The hostel is now proudly displaying the decaying meat, which looks remarkably like a fresh meal, despite being over five years old.
For those who can't make it to Reykjavik, the hostel have set up a live webcam on their site.
