Molten Copper vs big Mac

A recent video that shows a four-year-old burger still in pristine condition thoroughly disturbed the internet.

After a short time the individual layers of the Big Mac become completely charred black as Tito4re uses a set of tongs to display their new brittle state.

My videos are mostly about melting copper and pouring it on random things.

The molten copper initially rolls off the Big Mac because of properties specific to McDonald’s food.

He then goes to fetch a ladle’s worth of boiling scrap copper lava (please don’t try this at home).

Big Mac vs. Molten Copper. Witchcraft, it turns out.

The courageous soul then takes the liquid and pours it over a Big Mac, with the first burger patty protected by the top bun.

In the viral video Youtuber Tito pours copper at 1,085C over the burger only to have the liquid metal bounce off the bun and patty.

But is this really indicative of McDonald’s burger as an inorganic, unidentifiable substance? Aluminum melts at about 1200 degrees and copper about 2000 degrees. In fact, the results showcased in this video could likely be replicated with any burger (or similar food item), regardless of brand.
