Headline : The last McDonalds hamburger in Iceland
Caption : The last McDonalds hamburger in Iceland
After the economic crash in Iceland in late 2008 McDonalds decided to close their diners in the country. The last day of opening was October 31st 2009. The day before, October 30th 2009 Hjörtur Smárason went to McDonalds and bought a burger. Not to eat, but to keep and it was put in the original emballage on a garage shelf.
For the last year the hamburger has been in storage at the national museum in Iceland. Now it will be on display at Bus Hostel Reykjavik in Iceland, not only for those who drop in, but also with a live video stream where you watch the hamburger rot and decay on live camera. You might have to be patient though to see any changes.
