Yum! As if you didn’t already know that the average fast food fare wasn’t good for you, a youngster in Florida did a science fair project which showed that toilet bowl water was cleaner than the ice machine 7 times out of 10. :eek: Wanna try a frosty McWhizz?
Just don’t ask for the chocolate shake.
Yummy! Gimme all the bacteria you got. I’ll shrug it off and laugh when the rest of you die due to weakend immune systems.
Then I’ll steal the rest of your fries. 
Well, neither me nor my microbiology degree are surprised at all. See, the thing about public toilets is that they get cleaned. A lot. Contrary to popular opinion. Generally speaking, bathroom surfaces are among the cleanest you’ll find in any restaraunt.
OK, as long as we get to gloat while, in the process of acquiring your immunity, you suffer explosive diahorrea and projectile vomiting. Although personally, I intend to gloat from the other side of a window.
Not the whole Fecal Coliform Bacteria scare again. It seems to show up regular as clockwork whenever theres a slow news day.

McDonald’s bathrooms can be hosed down with water containing all kinds of industrial strength cleaning products. Doing the same thing to the ice machine, or any other machines used to make food, would probably damage them and almost certainly leave a residue that would alter the taste of food.
You’re supposed to eat what they serve ?
Those sons o’ bitches! F THEM! F THEM IN THEIR F’N A’s!! :mad:
After reading some of that article, I now have something to blame for my favorite eating establishments going to that disgusting Nestea dispenser crap. Tastes like it was brewed from the spit of a syphilitic yak, I tell you.

Or it’s cheaper. Or they’re lazy.

:mad:
… and SLIME! in the ice machine!
MAR-vin ZIND-lar!
EYE-witnessnews!
On the other hand, most people drink soft drinks at fast food places, and we all know that Coke is acidic enough to erode pennies, so I’m sure it’ll kill whatever bacteria are in the ice.
Ah, eye-whitless news.
Man, that brings back memories! Is he still going? He must be in his 80s by now. How are his sunglasses, fake chin, fake hair, etc. making out?

Does he even have original parts left? After I moved out of state, one of the fun things about coming back to visit was to see how much he had changed this go around. I don’t even know if he’s still alive anymore. ::sigh::
