Recently a woman from New York named Sally Davies bought a Happy Meal at her local McDonalds and let it sit on her coffee table for six months uncovered.  She took pictures of it every day to track it’s deterioration.  But there was a slight problem, there was no deterioration.  No mold, no breakdown whatsoever.  See her pictures and a the incredible video at Gizmodo.  McDonalds official response can be read here.  They basically say that under certain conditions McDonalds food will get moldy and break down.  There may have been an absence of moisture which dehydrated the Happy Meal.

I’m sure Ms. Davies motives were to alert Americans to alleged suspicious practices by McDonalds, and I believe she accomplished that.  But not for the reasons she was seeking.  I also believe McDonalds is hiding the true reason why this Happy Meal failed to follow the rules of nature.  McDonalds’ Happy Meals are from the FUTURE. 

Anyone familiar with Star Trek is also familiar with The Nexus.  An extra- dimensional realm in which one’s desires shape reality.  It can be entered through a temporal energy ribbon that crosses the Galaxy every 39 years.  I believe The Happy Meal is food from the future that had somehow fallen into the Nexus and was deposited in a dimension centuries before it’s creation, and was sold to the McDonalds Corporation for billions of dollars and coupons for free apple pies.  The name was taken from the first hand accounts of time spent in the Nexus.  When inside, one supposedly experiences great feelings of joy and is able to recreate the situations that inspired those feelings.  A similar feeling is experienced(albeit only a temporary one) not only by children who consume a Happy Meal but also by some adults who feel the experience of getting one brings back a certain “Joy” from their own childhood.  In reality, what McDonalds is serving is a temporary escape provided by food from the future that contains energy remnants from the Nexus.  That is why Ms. Davies Happy Meal would not degrade…it is from the future.

Yes, yes, Star Trek is just a television show and I’m a pathetic nerd trying to rationalize purchasing a product targeted at children.  But more and more there a Trek like elements being incorporated into society.  From Flip Phones(Communicators) to The Hadron Collider Experiments(the seeds of Warp Drive Technology) to continuing experiments in particle transpotation.  I have also uncovered video proof which can be viewed below:
