I sometimes wonder how often restaurants clean out those beverage dispensers and what bacteria could lurk there.

You got a point there. A while ago people were getting really sick from tea dispensers because the luke warm temp in the dispenser was perfect for bacteria to grow. I have a hard time drinking ice tea at restaurants anymore because of that.

I also have to chuckle at the fresh fruit nuts---although I do love fresh fruit---but I wash it very well before consuming.

Awhile back, people were getting deathly ill from fresh fruit---they traced it to Chilean fresh fruit---seems the fruit pickers were urinating and defecating in the fields, and were contaminating the fruit.

And with the controversy over amnesty, I sometimes wonder what goes on with the lettuce and other veggies and fruits illegals are picking for American markets.
