Glamour - your #1 source of reliable science and medicine news.

"They found that 48 percent of beverages obtained from soda fountains contained coliform bacteria, 11 percent contained E. coli (which are mostly harmless, but some can cause diarrhea, urinary tract infections, respiratory illness and pneumonia), and 17 percent had Chryseobacterium meningosepticum (which could sicken newborns or adults with weakened immune systems).

Ok, so they found bacteria. At what concentrations? Enough to be dangerous, or enough to make someone want to write an article about it?

Its probably the ice and people dropping/groping all the lids and cups. I never understood why the lids and cups aren't paper wrapped like the straws. Ok I understand it would cost more money, but still.

 

[feralkid]

However, their shouldn't be any poo, or at least extrememly low levels of it in soda fountain drinks.
You have wonder how it got there.

Usually from someones unwashed hand touching the nozzle while filling a glass.

Not a big deal, if they are regularly cleaned.

Regular cleaning is easy, it's just that there are lazy people and those who don't worry about sanitation because they have "moved on."

mythbusters did an episode on fecal particles and their conclusion was that they're in a whole lot of areas

so meh

Hey fecalkid, do you keep your toothbrush in the bathroom? Then you're brushing your teeth with shit.

 

[TheVrolok]

How about if your dentist put his hand in your mouth after he just dropped a deuce?

I guess you'd just "move on" and not care if he washed or not?

There is a vast difference between your dentist wiping and then putting his hands in your mouth and trace amounts of bacteria found .. everywhere, in the environment.

Friend of mine worked at McDonalds, opened the ice cream machine for refilling, puked directly into it because of the smell inside.

It got hosed out and was back in service the same day.

My point is...we all know there are germs everywhere, but we still wash our hands. So should you.

Can I just pay you to stop posting?

 

[BoberFett]

Can I just pay you to stop posting?

Given the stench emanating from your mouth, I'm going to say yes.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

I think the answer is quite simple. Quit drinking fountain drinks in those 48 places in Virginia.

 

[Powermoloch]

It's a great thing i'm hamburger free for 2 1/2 months and lost 26 lbs

 

[ShawnD1]

Who gives a shit? Has anyone died from a fountain drink?
This fucking country thrives on scaring the shit out of it's people.

Home of the brave indeed.

This

There was an episode of mythbusters where they found that shit bacteria gets on your toothbrush if it's left in the bathroom. Better stop brushing those teeth right now!

 

[gorcorps]

I'm in the same 'meh' crowd. Stuff like this is everywhere and has probably been that way for years. Now we just have incredibly sensitive equipment that detects even the smallest amount of bad stuff in there and then everybody flips shit.

 

[Fritzo]

Yes, you hear in the news every day about people dropping dead from raging diseased caused by drinking sodas at fast food places. We need to dump billions into finding a solution!

On the other hand, you inject about the same amount of fecal matter when you smell a fart....

I think the point is more: How about if your dentist just dropped a deuce in your mouth?

don't EVER get general anesthesia at the dentist's office...

 

[MotF Bane]

Gotta love the free market.
After all, what can taste better than profits?

Troll, go back to P&N.

 

[feralkid]

Given the stench emanating from your mouth, I'm going to say yes.

What the hell is your problem?

And why aren't you banned yet?

 

[ShawnD1]

don't EVER get general anesthesia at the dentist's office...

I woke up with the taste of penis in my mouth

 

[TheVrolok]

Where did I say anything about not washing my hands?

Ah shit! Whoops. I mean ah damn. I almost spewed coffee on my monitor. Ah man. I didn't see that coming & I should have have. LOL!



The Boss at the Drive-In is a clean freak. However they don't offer those paper toilet protector things? They have them. Just never put them up? Which if you are a clean freak how could you not want to have people use those toilet protector things? I use a lot toilet paper lined on the seats. Mainly because someone always gets urine or worse on the seats. *shutters*

 

[blurredvision]

Ignorance is bliss.

 

[tboo]

Speaking of poo has anybody ever been to the Joy Angeles site? Some of that cant be real.
