CBS-KUTV 2-News Story Today

Man Keeps 14 Year-old Hamburger
By Ladd Egan
(KUTV) Fast food is meant to be consumed quickly and conveniently, which is why a St. George, Utah man’s perfectly-preserved 14 year-old hamburger gets a lot of attention.
“It freaks people out,” said David Whipple. “They absolutely can’t believe it looks that good.”
Whipple bought the hamburger at a fast-food restaurant in Logan, Utah on July 7, 1999 as a prop in his work as a salesman of dietary supplements.
“I thought there’d be some mold,” said Whipple, who wanted to use the hamburger as an example of how enzymes work. “I thought the meat would deteriorate.”
But Whipple’s food experiment didn’t turn out the way he’d thought because the hamburger wouldn’t spoil.
“It looked as good a month out as it did the day I bought it,” Whipple said. “The receipt and the wrapper look like they are going to decompose faster than the hamburger.”
The hamburger, wrapped in its original paper, sack and receipt, ended up in Whipple’s coat pocket. The coat made the move with the family from Logan to St. George and sat in a closet for years.
Whipple’s wife stumbled upon the hamburger sack while cleaning out the closet. She put the sack on the shelf with the intent of asking him about it later, which never happened.
About five years later one of the couple’s children found the sack and opened it. The family was amazed by what they saw.
“No fungus, no mold, no smell,” Whipple said of the hamburger. “The bun hasn’t done anything except get hard. It’s hard as a rock.”
Besides the pickle, which disintegrated, the rest of the hamburger still appears edible nearly 14 years after it was purchased.
Once, the family tried to auction the hamburger on eBay, Whipple said, “it went up to something like $2,000.”
But the family declined to sell. They declined again when a radio station on the East Coast heard about the burger and offered $5,000.
“They wanted to buy it, have a disc jockey microwave it and then eat it at some kind of promotion they were going to do,” Whipple recalls.
Whipple keeps the hamburger in a tin shaped like a hamburger, which is appropriate, says Dixie State University Executive Chef Paulo Blaser.
“It’s good thing you keep it in a little sarcophagus because you’ve got the King Tut of hamburgers here,” Chef Blaser said. “This is a mummified hamburger.”
“It dried so fast that there was no way that the bacteria or mold could grow into it and make it nasty,” Blaser explained.
Whipple says he’s not getting rid of his perfectly-mummified burger anytime soon.
“It’s become a part of the family,” Whipple said. “Maybe I’ll take it on vacations and travel around the world showing it off to everybody.”

Exciting Day with KUTV 2-News & Executive Chef at Dixie State College
 |
| Ladd Egan, announcer with KUTV 2-News and World's Oldest Hamburger |
KUTV 2-News announcer Ladd
Egan, with Mike Stephen, cameraman, spent
Friday morning, filming the World’s Oldest
Hamburger in its native habitat and recording the story since inception. Then they took the hamburger to Dixie State College to meet Executive Chef Paulo Blaser for his insights to this amazing phenomena.
 |
|
Announcer
Ladd Egan & Mike Stephen with camera, filming a "tease" for next Tuesdays News Show
|
 |
| 13 Year-old Burger with six competitors only 2 days old. |
Ladd
Egan said that this story would air next week, most likely on Tuesday, but they
would use it to “tease” the audience because of its uniqueness. Mike commented that in his 10 years of
filming stories, this was the “craziest” he’d ever done. I have to say it was just a hoot being filmed
and interviewed by these two professionals.
It should be a really fun story to watch. They even had me find the original “coat in
the closet” where this burger stayed undiscovered for the first couple of
years.
After a
couple of hours at my home, we took off to Dixie State College (to be named a
University on Saturday) to visit with Head Executive Chef Paulo Blaser. He called this burger a mummy and loved that
it survived so many years. He had never seen a burger this old! He called
the Big Mac tin the burger’s “sarcophagus” and said the burger had literally mummified, and could
last longer than the receipt, wrapper or paper-sac it was stored in. 
Ladd,
Mike and Chef Paulo then went into the Red Rock Café on campus and filmed students
encounter with the mummified... 13 year old hamburger.
Their reactions and comments were hilarious! Some students touched the burger, most flinched and
some even ran away from it. A few Dixie Students were brave
enough to pick it up and smell it. No one wanted to taste it. I hope they have enough time to show a lot
of their reactions on 2-News, hopefully next Tuesday. Some of the reactions were so ridiculous; they may
not make it on the show. Ladd and Mike
said they would take some of the extra recordings and put a short YouTube together... we
might see later as a tag to the show.
Ladd
Egan said this will most likely hit the national CBS affiliates nationwide over the next few months, and
possibly get world-wide exposure. So will the Today
Show be next, who knows. The World’s
Oldest Hamburger would love a trip to New York, Russia, or a city near you. Would you like to see this 13 year-old
hamburger in person, write a comment and let us know. If we come to your city, maybe you could be
invited to see it up close and personal… maybe live on TV. Leave your comments.

Mummified Burger is back from HOLLYWOOD - filming The Doctor's TV Show!
World's Oldest Hamburger arrived back in St. George, Utah Thursday, after a week-long stay in Hollywood, California at CBS-Paramount Pictures.
It was filmed for an appearance on the TV Show, The Doctors with Dr. Travis Stork, to air within a couple of weeks. Featuring, "How Long Do Things Last?"
This was the first plane trip for this hamburger, and seems to have survived rather well.
Only a couple of minor chips fell off the bun, but the trip had everyone
worried. In human years, this hamburger would be like over 5,000 years old. The Big Mac tin really protected it (pictured below). We are calling this hamburger-tin “The Sarcophagus” for this
“Mummified Burger”.
The taping of the show went crazy!!! All the doctors wanted a part in the action, including a special guest from the TV show "The Real Housewives of Miami, Dr. Karent Sierra, DDS.
Everyone was laughing so hard and having so much fun, it will be interesting to see what finally gets aired on TV in a couple of weeks.
