Sorry but that's not how real food should react in this world..
Even this is different from country to country. Here in Germany the food laws are pretty strict and a lot of preservatives are not allowed. So I doubt that a Hamburger form a McDonald's in Germany would survive.
What I noticed that McDonald's outside the USA is becoming more upscale. Almost every McDonald's in Germany got renovated last year and has now a Starbucks like McCafé where you get all kinds of coffee in real mugs and glasses, cakes and some snacks like bagles. The coffee is pretty good and the cakes, too.
By the way: The McGriddle has finally arrived in Germany
