The original emblem from the 1955 debut of the fast food business is also present on the two hamburger wrappers that were uncovered.
A couple found some perfectly preserved McDonald’s fries inside their bathroom wall while making repairs to their house.
When Grace and Rob Jones decided to buy their 63-year-old home in Crystal Lake, Illinois, in 2015, they decided to replace the kitchen and bathroom. On April 16, however, they got a surprise from the past when Rob started taking out the house’s original toilet paper holder.
“Removing that was actually fairly difficult. It was stuck in like old plaster, so I had to dig it out using chisels and pliers, Rob told Today. “As I was doing that, I could see something in there—some kind of material or anything—through one of the corners.”
He called his wife after finding two McDonald’s hamburger wrappers and a side of preserved fries inside the wall.
According to Rob, “We just sort of think that whoever was building the house went there for lunch and it fell in there on purpose, or they did it on purpose.”
The wrappers featured Speedee, the first mascot of the fast food chain, and its original logo, which debuted in 1995.
Grace had a time travel because her mother had gone to the first McDonald’s restaurant’s grand opening in Des Plaines, Illinois, the same year.
Grace told Today, “She was there when they opened it. She has been thrilled since it takes her back to her childhood, so… She still recalls the price of the cheeseburger and the fries when the restaurant initially opened.
According to the publication, the wrappers and fries are kept in a container on top of the Joneses’ refrigerator, with Grace adding, “For the right money, we’d be pleased to sell them.”
