"They wanted to know why he had recently appeared on Russian TV and what, exactly, he intended to do at the government-controlled Area 51. He told them the truth: He and his childhood friend, Eduards Nits, owned the world's oldest McDonald's Quarter Pounder, and they rose to internet fame as a result, explaining their bizarre appearance on a state-run television network that espouses political propaganda to millions of people."
"The confusion began when Casey Dean received a mysterious dot on his plane ticket. The self-described alien enthusiast and "X-Files" fan, who was traveling to Area 51 for his 39th birthday, thought it was unusual. He had never seen it before and didn't know what it could mean for international tourists like himself. But, like most people passing time at the airport, he had a few beers and forgot about it, continuing on his tedious 30-hour journey from Sydney to Las Vegas."
"Since then, the burger in question has traveled throughout the continent and been showcased extensively on local news outlets. Now, the American icon, fondly called Senior Burger, is about to turn 30 in November, and its loyal stewards across the globe staunchly believe it's the oldest Quarter Pounder in existence. McDonald's, however, hasn't exactly been vocally supportive of it - and Dean and Nits are not the only people who claim to have a decades-old patty in their possession."
Casey Dean noticed a mysterious dot on his plane ticket before traveling to Area 51 for his 39th birthday and dismissed it after drinking at the airport. At LAX an enormous security guard pulled him into a room where three men interrogated him about his appearance on Russian TV and his intentions at Area 51. He explained that he and his childhood friend Eduards Nits owned what they claim is the world's oldest McDonald's Quarter Pounder and that their internet fame led to the TV appearance. After a 45-minute ordeal he was released. The burger, known as Senior Burger, has been showcased across the continent, attracted media attention including Joe Rogan, is approaching its 30th anniversary, and is claimed by its stewards to be the oldest Quarter Pounder while McDonald's has not publicly endorsed the claim and others also assert possession of decades-old patties.
