70 percent of the time, ice from fast food restaurants was dirtier than toilet water. Ick.
And I always thought asking for icewater with my burger was the healthier thing to do.

Plus, she said, all of her friends chew on ice, and it drives her crazy. This will put a stop to that right quick.

Some of the things you expect to be clean get a far worser cleanliness regimen than some of the things you expect to be dirty.
Toilets are probably cleaned more often than restaurant pepper/salt shakers. Therefore one can expect the latter to be dirtier than the former.
Same with keyboards and telephones.

Very smart girl. This is going to be one of the classic school science projects, like the one decades ago where the student built accelerometers to measure the maximum g-force a package was subjected to, and mailed them in ordinary packages and packages labeled "fragile", "special handling" etc. All of the accelerometers recorded very high forces, except for the ones the post office broke.

Problem is, most kids that work in fast-food restaurants don't even wash their hands after they use the toilet.
A study done in a public men's restroom at JFK Airport in NYC...this was OBSERVED behavior...showed that 41% of men who used the restroom didn't wash afterwards. An almost equal number of women were the same.
No wonder this bright young lady found those germs!
All together now...

Both Roberts and Katz said that the ice is likely dirtier because machines aren't cleaned and people use unwashed hands to scoop ice. Toilet water is also surprisingly bacteria-free, because it comes from sanitized city water supplies. So basically she is testing tap water from the toilet and tap water with human had contamination from ice handling. Results not at all surprising.

I wonder about bagged ice?
I wish there were testing standards, I do like ice, but I don't want to tote it from home all the time.

This is absolutely intolerable.
I don't like it, so I expect 79 laws, regulations, and mandates to passed by all levels of legislatures immediately! Where's Hillary?? Where's Rev. Al? I'm sure this hits women and children the hardest...
Oh, and where is the President while his subjects are slowly being poisoned by rich, white male restaurant owners? Vacationing in the Middle East, I suppose...that figures. This is ALL BUSH'S FAULT!

We watched an employee at a fast food restaurant clean the bathroom then wipe off the dispensers for the ice and the soda with the same rag. Told the manager.
