Video showing McDonald’s Big Mac being covered in molten copper went viral, dividing people over what it actually shows.
YouTube user Tito4re, who specializes in covering various objects in copper heated up to 2000°F, poured some of the liquefied metal on the burger’s bun and the rest on the patty. In both cases the metal slid right off the surface, prompting some commenters to doubt the edibility of the Big Mac’s ingredients.
“Observe... ”TEFLON BIG-MAC“ Murder-Burger,” Nimajneb Sumeg commented on an article about the video on Facebook.
Commenters pointed out the copper slides off because of the 'Leidenfrost effect.'
