Refurbishing your home lets you find all sorts of forgotten stuff but one man was in for a big surprise when he discovered a 60-year-old McDonald’s meal in the walls of his bathroom.
You are probably imagining critters, a lot of molds, and an unbearable smell. But Rob said on Reddit that he was shocked by the state in which he found the paper bag, which included a half-eaten box of fries.
He said that there “was no smell and surprisingly no trace of mice.”
The Redditor, who goes under the username u/slamminsammy2109, explained that he found the meal ‘stuck in the original plaster behind (an) old toilet paper holder’ while he was renovating his bathroom in Illinois.
“I noticed a piece of cloth stuck behind plaster and pulled it out to show my wife,” Rob told Newsweek. “It was balled up and we could tell there was something else inside.
“When we unwrapped it and found the old McDonald’s bag and fries we were very surprised and grateful that is all we found hidden.”
People on Reddit were also very intrigued by his bizarre find, with one person commenting: “As a former construction worker you’d be surprised how many chip bags, Gatorade bottles, coke bottles, fast food cups are inside a lot of the newer houses.”
Another wrote: “Awesome. About 22 years ago we filled every wall cavity we could with beer cans when redoing our bathroom and kitchen. Going to be tearing this place up soon can’t wait to find them.”
His photo shows the leftover fries and three white bags with ‘McDonald’s printed on the center. The bags did not feature the iconic golden ‘M,’ which proves how old the bags were.
The Golden Arches we’ve come to love were introduced in 1961 when Ronald McDonald played a role in 1967.
