"As explained in a recent interview with SFGate, the decades-old burger, now commonly referred to as Senior Burger, has not grown moldy or stinky in the last 30 years. The burger has instead shrunken up and turned into a hard, brick-like object. The two friends still have the original wrapper and container the burger came in, including a thin piece of brown wax paper that wrapped around the burger when they bought it back in the 1990s. This is one of the pieces of evidence they use to prove their claims that the burger is indeed from 1995."
"'It no longer looks like a hamburger,' Nits told the outlet. 'It's no longer food. It just looks like artwork.' According to the duo, who consider themselves the keepers of what they claim to be the oldest McDonald's burger on the planet, Senior Burger was never put in a fridge and instead was stored in old boxes, cupboards, and closets. It's toured Australia, with Nits' mother, a teacher, even taking it to school to show her class."
In 1995, 14-year-old Eduards Nits accepted a Quarter Pounder from a friend who never returned to claim it. The burger, nicknamed Senior Burger, was kept by Nits and longtime friend Casey Dean and stored in boxes, cupboards, and closets rather than refrigerated. Over three decades the burger shrank and hardened into a brick-like object without developing visible mold or a foul odor. The original wrapper and a thin brown wax paper remain as supporting evidence, but the receipt was lost, preventing official verification by Guinness World Records. The duo treats the item as a preserved curiosity and keeps it for future generations.
