Would you eat this?

Mcdonalds standard cheeseburger was left out overnight, not in the fridge. Would you eat it this morning?

Yes

gingerbreadbiscuits · 23/05/2018 09:52

No

scurryfunge · 23/05/2018 09:53

No, they are foul anyway.

Ginkypig · 23/05/2018 09:53

Probably not but only because I couldn't heat it up and a cold burger sounds rank!

Storm4star · 23/05/2018 09:54

It probably won’t kill you but why would you want to?

yellowmellw · 23/05/2018 09:54

I wouldn't but I've seen ones that have been experimented on and left for years without any mould etc so you should be ok

bekindtobees · 23/05/2018 09:55

Yes

Sweets123 · 23/05/2018 09:55

No

BitchQueen90 · 23/05/2018 09:55

God yes I'd happily eat it.

Well seems like mixed responses. I decided to try my changes, heated it up but it was all dry and horrible so even if it is safe I am not eating it!

No- not worth the risk, not so much the burger even - the mayo/ burger sauce all curdled yuck!

Reheated burger is never going to taste good! I might have eaten it cold though.

VladmirsPoutine · 23/05/2018 10:11

Unless you are severely hung over and the burger is in arms reach, assuming there might be a few fries scattered on your pillow, then no.

MumofBoysx2 · 23/05/2018 10:25

No, are you mad??

nannybeach · 23/05/2018 10:26

never, but I dont eat meat! sounds revolting, think a lot of companies, they make tuff you cant re-heat so its wasted.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 23/05/2018 10:27

No.

QuestionableMouse · 23/05/2018 10:28

There's no burger sauce or mayo on a cheeseburger. Ketchup and mustard only.

Emma198 · 23/05/2018 10:30

I'd have had it cold rather the heat up the burger sauce. Desperate times when a pre 10am day-old cheeseburger is called for!

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 23/05/2018 10:31

It wouldn't harm you, but I think McDonalds food is awful anyway, so no. The thought of eating a cheeseburger left out overnight makes me feel a bit ill!

LoniceraJaponica · 23/05/2018 10:32

No. Apart from any digestive issues that might ensue it would taste rank anyway.

justilou1 · 23/05/2018 10:32

Aren’t they like cockroaches (and my MIL)? They only things likely to survive a nuclear war intact?

Oysterbabe · 23/05/2018 10:33

No because it would be gross, bread that's stale on the outside and soggy in the middle. Yuck.
If it still tasted good then I would, I'm sure it'll be fine.

LaurieMarlow · 23/05/2018 10:33

From a safety POV yes. I suspect they keep for years.

However, can't imagine it would taste great. How hungry are you? Grin
