The Fascinating Journey of a McDonald's Hamburger: From Factory to Plate
In a unique claim that caught the attention of many, a man in Utah revealed he possesses a McDonald's hamburger that is two decades old and shows no signs of decomposition. Skeptics were quick to question how such a phenomenon was possible. Is it truly because the burger is laden with preservatives? To get to the bottom of the mystery regarding McDonald's burgers and their alleged longevity, we embark on an investigative journey through the inner workings of a McDonald's factory, dissecting the process and ingredients that contribute to these seemingly indestructible creations.
The Bun: Fundamental Ingredients and Craftsmanship
It all starts with the iconic sesame seed bun. The journey begins in a vast industrial mixer, where simple but vital ingredients—flour, water, liquid yeast, and salt—are combined to create a sponge-like dough. This isn’t merely any dough; it is enhanced with protease, an enzyme that modifies proteins, resulting in that soft, fluffy texture that we associate with freshly toasted McDonald's buns.
After mixing, the dough undergoes kneading, transforming it into a smooth, elastic mass, preparing for an important fermentation phase. The dough is then allowed to rest in a fermentation room, where it sits for four hours. During this critical stage, yeast ferments the sugars in the dough, enhancing both flavor and texture.
The process doesn’t stop there; additional ingredients such as sugar, salt, and sodium diacetate (used in preservation) are introduced, creating a nutritious and flavorful bun. The dough is then re-kneaded, shaped, proofed, and finally baked to perfection in a controlled environment, where time and temperature are meticulously managed to result in a golden finish with a soft interior.
Next, we turn to the heart of the burger—the beef patty. Contrary to some myths, all beef patties served at McDonald's are crafted from 100% USDA-inspected beef without fillers or extenders. The beef is sourced from various farmers across the U.S., chosen for its specific fat content, which consists of an optimal 80% lean and 20% fat mix meant to provide the right level of juiciness.
Upon arrival at the processing facility, the beef undergoes thorough inspections within 48 hours of delivery, ensuring freshness through rigorous checks, including temperature monitoring and surface examinations. The beef is then cooled and ground before being mixed to create a consistent blend. Each patty is precision-stamped to the correct size for the specific burger types, from classic hamburgers to Big Macs, before being quickly frozen to lock in freshness without the need for additives.
After freezing, the patties are subjected to quality control checks, grilled for taste testing, and finally packaged with meticulous care to maintain hygiene and quality before they are shipped off to various McDonald's locations.
From Factory to Restaurant: The Final Preparations
Once the buns and patties arrive at the restaurant, the last phase of their journey begins. The buns are toasted quickly to achieve a crisp exterior while retaining a soft center, prepared for the juicy patty that follows. The patties are cooked using an innovative clamshell grill, which cooks them from both the top and bottom simultaneously, ensuring a tender and flavorful result in a matter of seconds.
Finally, the burgers are assembled with care. Fresh vegetables, signature sauces, and the iconic assembly of "all beef patty, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions" complete the transformation from factory to plate.
Conclusion: A Culinary Marvel Hidden in Plain Sight
While many might initially balk at the idea of a two-decades-old hamburger defying the forces of nature, the truth lies in a blend of appealing craftsmanship and precise processes. From the mix of simple ingredients to the expert handling at every stage, the science of creating McDonald's hamburgers reveals a lot about food preservation techniques.
This glimpse into the assembly line serves to demystify the daily offerings at McDonald's, showing that beneath the surface of this fast-food giant lies a carefully orchestrated process designed for quality and consistency. So the next time you bite into a Big Mac, remember—the impeccable journey of that burger has been decades in the making.
The Fascinating Journey of Ice Cream Manufacturing
Have you ever wondered what it takes to transform simple ingredients into the creamy, delicious treat we all love? The process of making ice cream is a fascinating blend of science and artistry, from the initial mix to the final freeze.
In large-scale factories, ice cream manufacturing is a highly specialized endeavor that entails several critical steps, each crucial for producing a high-quality product. The entire journey from raw ingredients to finished ice cream demands precision equipment and expertise, all while adhering to strict hygiene standards and optimizing both texture and taste.
Let's delve into the key stages of this delightful process: ingredient preparation, mixing, pasteurization, homogenization, aging, freezing, and packaging.
Step 1: Ingredient Selection and Preparation
The foundation of great ice cream begins with sourcing fresh, high-quality ingredients, primarily milk, cream, and sugar. These components are selected based on their ability to create a smooth, creamy texture and balanced sweetness. The fat content of milk affects the richness, while cream contributes to the airy mouthfeel we associate with premium ice cream.
Sugar plays dual roles; not only does it sweeten, but it also influences the freezing point of the final product. Commercial production often includes stabilizers and emulsifiers to ensure a uniform consistency and prevent ice crystal formation.
Once selected, ingredients undergo preparation, with milk and cream typically pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria, ensuring safety for consumption. This meticulous preparation sets the stage for smooth blending in the next phase.
Step 2: Mixing and Pasteurization
Mixing and pasteurization are key to creating a uniform ice cream base. In large mixing tanks, the measured ingredients are carefully blended together. Achieving a smooth mixture ensures even distribution of fat, water, and sugar components.
Following mixing, pasteurization occurs, where the mixture is heated to around 160°F (71°C) for 15 to 30 minutes. This step not only eliminates harmful microorganisms but also helps dissolve sugar for uniform sweetness and contributes to a creamier texture by breaking down proteins in the milk.
Advanced equipment conducts this process through a High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) method, minimizing energy usage while ensuring safety. After pasteurization, the mixture is rapidly cooled to prepare it for homogenization.
Following pasteurization, homogenization is essential for refining texture. During this step, the pasteurized mixture is forced through fine openings under high pressure. This process breaks down fat molecules, dispersing them evenly throughout the ice cream base. The result? A creamy, smooth texture without the greasy feel that larger fat molecules can cause.
Moreover, homogenization incorporates air into the mixture, contributing to the ice cream's "overrun," or airy texture. This step helps in stabilizing the mixture, decreasing the likelihood of ice crystal formation during freezing.
Once homogenization is complete, the mixture is cooled and left to age for several hours, paving the way for improved flavor and texture.
Aging is a crucial phase in the ice cream-making process that optimizes flavor and texture. The homogenized mixture is cooled to around 40°F (4°C) and allowed to rest between 4 to 24 hours. During this time, the ingredients meld together, which not only enhances smoothness but also minimizes ice crystal formation during freezing.
The aging process allows flavors to fully develop, contributing to a rich, balanced final product. Furthermore, the mixture is gently stirred during this period to prevent separation, ensuring maximum consistency.
The freezing stage is critical for transforming the aged mixture into ice cream. This involves rapidly lowering the temperature to below freezing while continuously stirring. Fast freezing, typically around -20°F (-29°C), is essential for forming tiny, uniform ice crystals—key to a smooth product.
During this stage, air is incorporated, contributing to the overall texture of the ice cream. Typically, ice cream contains about 30-50% air by volume, preventing it from becoming too dense. After reaching the soft serve stage, mix-ins like chocolate chips or cookie dough are added uniformly before moving to the final stage.
In the end stage of manufacturing, flavor enhancements and mix-ins are integrated into the frozen base. This allows for a delightful variety of ice cream flavors, from classics like vanilla and chocolate to more exotic combinations.
Once mix-ins are added, the ice cream is packaged using automated machinery to ensure consistency and minimize waste. This process also plays an important role in preserving quality during storage and transport.
The packaged ice cream enters a blast freezer for rapid hardening, reaching temperatures around -20°F (-29°C) before being stored for distribution. Rigorous quality checks ensure that the final product meets taste, texture, and appearance standards.
The journey from raw ingredients to delicious ice cream is a marvel of modern manufacturing, blending precision, science, and artistry at every step. From careful ingredient selection to final packaging, each phase is essential for creating the creamy treat we enjoy.
As you savor your next scoop of ice cream, remember the meticulous process that went into its creation. And as we conclude this exploration, we invite you to share your favorite flavors and any surprises you unearthed about the manufacturing process. Until next time, keep it cool and stay curious!

so did it work? How goes the claiming. Did it went through? I have also accumulated some referral rewards but unable to claim them. Mentioned the issue to #inleo team but no satisfactory answer.
Coming back after groceries shopping and seeing that I have like 50 new comments in the last 14 hours. 😂😱
That´s crazy! Thank you guys! Trying to answer them all in the next hours. Also lot´s of new followers! Hive seems to be going great for me this year! So happy that you like my content! 🤩 I appreciate the support! 🖤
What are you up to today?
I will do some marketing stuff for the new release and then be very lazy this weekend and just play games and chill on my sofa. 🌞
Sometimes I need these weekends to clear my head off from all this work. Can you see how tired I look? 😅
Trump is making all the right moves for crypto quick enough before things go South. Bull run ahead, I'll keep my head up. But he also said the dollar is his focus too?
what a delicacy, all the nutrients on sight. Good meal and I'm still practicing cooking wasn't paying attention when I was little now I'm grown and need the skills
Grayscale I and CoinShares filed with the U.S. (SEC) for various new cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These proposed ETFs would include assets such as Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), and XRP
Can't expect too much from the Altcoin in the current market situation as the BTC dominance is very high. I hope to see any altcoin pump 100% of my holding. Hehe. I am crazy and expecting the unexpected thing.
The target is close
ROWING SOLO ACROSS THE LARGEST OCEAN IN THE WORLD
In September 2024, Aurimas Mockus started
his row across the Pacific Ocean in a single-seater boat built by Ukrainian. Across the
world's largest ocean, he will carry a very important message - "Lithuania stands together".
It is meant to honor the Ukrainians who died in the war and to remind the world
that we cannot stop helping a country that is fighting for the freedom of us all. This journey
is unique not only in its message but also in
its route of 12,000 km - by crossing the Pacific Ocean from California (USA) to Brisbane
(Australia), Aurimas will become the first person in the world to do so.
I must admit, the performance vs fun of #inleo vs #x... is pretty close to a tie for me (if I don't include rewards).
The only fricking reason I still go on X is exposure and reach... and if I fricking get paid there, which I really don't care, ITS ALL going to be going on to $HIVE and maybe, have some influence for people to stick around and learn.
So far, the strategy has been super effective. And I am learning with a few more people around the #idiots_of_web2
One thing is for sure, +300 verified followers in a few days made some difference. Problem is, if you don't have premium you can't have a grasp for how many you have.
Anyhow, so far, so good...
Aim is to get hiro movie about hive to 10k views! Then I will start moving people into it... which should change the perspective to some at least.
On a very important quest to bring more people to #inleo, #hive and to educate #crypto people in general. Will take its time because from what I am learning is constantly adapting, but I think I am doing great connections and progress with that move.
🗞️ Looking for the Dash Killer app (1👇🇮🇹)(2👇🏴)🤓 We are reposting this announcement to remind you that #Dash is a resilient project with unlimited potential:
11 days. I should have released something earlier! I’m most excited to see more streams on days with few new listeners. It means people are coming back!
yeah definitely. I kept getting sell orders from the same account the other day. They had hidden sell orders automated on every cent amount of about 2000-3000 Leo on each cent
To my understanding some of LEO's value is tied to the other cryptos we have large LP pairs with...so eth, maya, and i think either bnb or polygon. In either case, all those coins are not performing well. When the alt market starts performing better we should see a turnaround
Having $100,000 doesn’t seem significant anymore when considering the rising costs of living. It’s a bit unsettling. There was a time when that amount felt like a dream, but now, with much more than that, it’s just a feeling of emptiness.
you're absolutely right, that's one thing about music. There are those that make songs it looks viral but some songs go deeper. Great work doing something that touches the soul ❤️
🧬 #Dash is not just a cryptocurrency, it is a mega project designed to scale to mass, direct and local adoption.
⚡️With instant transactions, low fees and a unique governance model, it has all the features to be used in everyday life. The new Evolution chain and collaboration with other resilient projects strengthens its mission, creating a distributed and autonomous ecosystem.
🎯 The goal? A future where financial freedom (and not only) is a reality for everyone.
👇 In the first comment the Link to the conclusions taken from the official documentation!
The US SEC has withdrawn the controversial SAB 121. The previous rule required banks and companies to list customer cryptocurrency holdings in their statements. The new rule, SAB 122, directs companies to use the Financial Accounting Standards Board rules or International Accounting Standard provisions.
The previous SAB 121 drew significant backlash from the cryptocurrency community. The rule change will make it easier for banks to offer crypto exposure to clients. The new rule does not require firms to list customer crypto holdings. Firms have to report risks if something goes awry.
2/2
"The staff reminds entities that they should continue to consider existing requirements to provide disclosures that allow investors to understand an entity's obligation to safeguard crypto-assets held for others.
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce took to X and shared the cryptocurrency-positive news
The new rule change by the SEC could have a positive impact on the cryptocurrency market. If banks increase their crypto offerings to clients, it could lead to a market rally. Many financial institutions have opened their doors to crypto after increased client demand.
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish a digital asset stockpile. The move led to an uptick in investor sentiment.
Both developments could lead to a gradual increase in funds in cryptocurrencies. Trump has said that he wants the crypto industry to thrive in the US. Many anticipate lenient regulations over the next four years. We may witness an extended bull run under Trump's leadership.

That´s crazy! Thank you guys! Trying to answer them all in the next hours. Also lot´s of new followers! Hive seems to be going great for me this year! So happy that you like my content! 🤩 I appreciate the support! 🖤
What are you up to today?
I will do some marketing stuff for the new release and then be very lazy this weekend and just play games and chill on my sofa. 🌞
Sometimes I need these weekends to clear my head off from all this work. Can you see how tired I look? 😅

Share your stuff on X =) you will get some exposure... I am certain.
Tag me... happy for that! 🤟
Yeah i normally do when I have some new hive posts out and new music. :) Thanks! I will do that from now on!
💞
Normally I don´t get much attention on X. :D Not sure what to change.
On #web2 is trickier!
I will help, just join the stuff I mentioned on X...
Follow everyone on #hive if you can! over X
Ok, will do that. Maybe it´s also better to post my stuff on X in the Hive community?
Yes but the smile is always there.
Well done for your process.
Thank you! =)
You should probably buy groceries more often. 😂

Wow, that's amazing, so true decentralization of crypto remains on the table and we might be able to taste some freedom in this regards.
So far so good, great news.
That's the greatest news so far.
The problem with executive orders is that they can just be easily undone by the next president without legislation.
Trump is making all the right moves for crypto quick enough before things go South. Bull run ahead, I'll keep my head up. But he also said the dollar is his focus too?
Sounds like a good news for the crypto community
good 👍

Someone really wants to sell $LEO at $0.69999 ...Every time I buy at that price to increase the "sell" price, it gets back to that price again!
I guess I'll wait until $LEO recovers now... I barely can any more than I already did...
Good luck with that. I think it is bots mostly, but I am buying too at the moment. 😀
Time for lunch!

Can't expect too much from the Altcoin in the current market situation as the BTC dominance is very high. I hope to see any altcoin pump 100% of my holding. Hehe. I am crazy and expecting the unexpected thing.
#btc #dominance #crypto #altcoin #thoughts #cent
I guess it depends WHAT altcoin
A bunch of GEMS out there with good liquidity, safe secure distribution, great tokenomics and pumpamentals etc
Sudden pump can come in any altcoin in any time although it's hard to predict whit will be next coin. Let's see, if I am lucky in this case.
These days it feels like you can pick any coin and do good but it’s defiantly not that easy haha

ROWING SOLO ACROSS THE LARGEST OCEAN IN THE WORLD
In September 2024, Aurimas Mockus started
his row across the Pacific Ocean in a single-seater boat built by Ukrainian. Across the
world's largest ocean, he will carry a very important message - "Lithuania stands together".
It is meant to honor the Ukrainians who died in the war and to remind the world
that we cannot stop helping a country that is fighting for the freedom of us all. This journey
is unique not only in its message but also in
its route of 12,000 km - by crossing the Pacific Ocean from California (USA) to Brisbane
(Australia), Aurimas will become the first person in the world to do so.

I must admit, the performance vs fun of #inleo vs #x... is pretty close to a tie for me (if I don't include rewards).
The only fricking reason I still go on X is exposure and reach... and if I fricking get paid there, which I really don't care, ITS ALL going to be going on to $HIVE and maybe, have some influence for people to stick around and learn.
So far, the strategy has been super effective. And I am learning with a few more people around the #idiots_of_web2
One thing is for sure, +300 verified followers in a few days made some difference. Problem is, if you don't have premium you can't have a grasp for how many you have.
Anyhow, so far, so good...
Aim is to get hiro movie about hive to 10k views! Then I will start moving people into it... which should change the perspective to some at least.
Stay strong #hive...
If not for the reach, I would have abandoned my X accounts just like I've done with FB.
Yeah, its a lot of work to maintain #web2 for any substantial "reward" path... one day, web2 networks will be only for rich people. Unfortunately...
And when you eventually hit that reward level, your account can be taken away for just saying, "good morning" at the wrong time.
I know... I have been there... twice!
I had a lovely purple afternoon...
Some of the kids did try the water!
On a very important quest to bring more people to #inleo, #hive and to educate #crypto people in general. Will take its time because from what I am learning is constantly adapting, but I think I am doing great connections and progress with that move.
Enjoy the purple if you can!
THis purple color reminds me of an app on the legacy chain.
Not for me...
I use purple on #inleo
Haha..can I call you, the purple lady?
Sure... this is me! Wanna hang out?
It has to be one of those at the back. Why not!

Gray and rainy. No snow whatsoever.

good morning brah
11 days. I should have released something earlier! I’m most excited to see more streams on days with few new listeners. It means people are coming back!
They were toooo damn hot!
Bon appetite, looks damn delicious 😋
They were gone already... tomorrow I will know if they managed! 😆
Is it chicken? It looks like chicken 😋
Looks and ITS chicken... nimbles... as I enjoy more than wings to be honest, but I call it wings.
Really, I love this! It's been a while since I bought some, I'll think about it.
Ping me when you post about it =)
Are those grill chicken laps?
I call them nimbles...
so yummy
They were!
Price dropping short term only bothers me because it makes it harder to onboard.
What’s going on though? Who is selling Leo?
Will wait until it recovers...
to buy? That’s not a good time to buy haha
To sell... I converted my $HIVE to $LEO at $0.40~ and now HIVE is at $0.45... I can't bring them back to HIVE now because LEO dropped! !LOLZ

@selfhelp4trolls, I sent you anlol I mean it’s a good time to buy Leo. Like a fantastic time
Done!!
This of course is only HE trading you can see the sellers on tribaldex but only for the past few trades.
But I guess there is more to that.
yeah definitely. I kept getting sell orders from the same account the other day. They had hidden sell orders automated on every cent amount of about 2000-3000 Leo on each cent
I can’t remember the account name I never heard of them before though and their account wasn’t active
they are just trading, probaby
I didn’t see that account selling at all. If they are selling they are doing it from another account
To my understanding some of LEO's value is tied to the other cryptos we have large LP pairs with...so eth, maya, and i think either bnb or polygon. In either case, all those coins are not performing well. When the alt market starts performing better we should see a turnaround
https://inleo.io/threads/view/rainbowdash4l/re-anderssinho-2decvake3?referral=rainbowdash4l
maybe it's happening off the chain. How do we even know who's selling and buy is there a tab that shows that list?

Having $100,000 doesn’t seem significant anymore when considering the rising costs of living. It’s a bit unsettling. There was a time when that amount felt like a dream, but now, with much more than that, it’s just a feeling of emptiness.
well just send it to me! I ptomise I won‘t feel empty

Yep.... it's gonna get a bit more empty feeling too. Price of things are still going up for a while
Wealth makes it rock. Nice statistics
To some extent, I think this depends on where you live. Rich in Mobile, Alabama is different than rich in New York City.
I strongly disagree with this conclusion in my opinion someone with a net worth of above $100,000 is not poor.
According to Net Worth Thresholds in the U.S. An average net worth of $43,760 is classified as Lower middle class

The US SEC has withdrawn the controversial SAB 121. The previous rule required banks and companies to list customer cryptocurrency holdings in their statements. The new rule, SAB 122, directs companies to use the Financial Accounting Standards Board rules or International Accounting Standard provisions.
The previous SAB 121 drew significant backlash from the cryptocurrency community. The rule change will make it easier for banks to offer crypto exposure to clients. The new rule does not require firms to list customer crypto holdings. Firms have to report risks if something goes awry.
2/2
"The staff reminds entities that they should continue to consider existing requirements to provide disclosures that allow investors to understand an entity's obligation to safeguard crypto-assets held for others.
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce took to X and shared the cryptocurrency-positive news
The new rule change by the SEC could have a positive impact on the cryptocurrency market. If banks increase their crypto offerings to clients, it could lead to a market rally. Many financial institutions have opened their doors to crypto after increased client demand.
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish a digital asset stockpile. The move led to an uptick in investor sentiment.
Both developments could lead to a gradual increase in funds in cryptocurrencies. Trump has said that he wants the crypto industry to thrive in the US. Many anticipate lenient regulations over the next four years. We may witness an extended bull run under Trump's leadership.
Good, so now we're going to be dealing in crypto with the banks. This way all the hold up we don't have your Fiat funds will be over
