A £250,000 burger? | Greg Foot | Head Squeeze

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SUBSCRIBERS!! Without you we wouldn't have reached 250,000 subs!! To say thank you we have a special week of 250K facts, and today Greg is looking at how a burger can cost a whopping £250,000 smack-a-roos!

The burger in question is the world's first synthetic burger, made entirely by scientists in the lab. At Maastricht University they extracted stem cells from a few cows, they were then used to grow muscle fibres which were then opened up, pulled out straight, and put all together again with a handful of flavourings and hey presto! Burger a la lab!

Google co-founder Sergey Brin coughed up the money needed to create the burger. That is one expensive take away!

Why not give us a thumbs up if you enjoy a hearty burger, whether it be beef, chicken, vegetarian or lab.
