Coliform bacteria was detected in 48% of the beverages and 20% had a heterotrophic plate count greater than 500 cfu/ml. [...] More than 11% of the beverages analyzed contained Escherichia coli [E. Coli] and over 17% contained Chryseobacterium meningosepticum. Other opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms isolated from the beverages included species of Klebsiella, Staphylococcus, Stenotrophomonas, Candida, and Serratia. Most of the identified bacteria showed resistance to one or more of the 11 antibiotics tested.

i read somewhere grad students did a study like this on soft serve ice cream trucks and had similar results.

[Realism 836]

No wonder they are so delicious.

 

That's a water issue though, isn't it? Soda fountains mix seltzer water or whatever with syrup. So there's probably those nasty things in all the other water as well.

Excuse me Mr. fast food worker, but there seems to be corn in my chocolate shake...

[john_gacy 426]

Sorry dude, old news here. Sorry you're just catching it now, but better late than never. I avoid the fountain drinks.

I knew about the ice, not the soda itself. Thought it was relatively safe.

[SwampFightOner 710]

I've been told that all kinds of nasty shit grows in the tubes on beer taps, so I kinda assumed the same shit went on with soda fountains.

 

I generally drink bottled beer, and only drink soda once in a great while, so I'm not too concerned

You have more to worry about than the shit soda.

[john_gacy 426]

I layed off the soda a while back anyhow because while it's good occasionally, it's really shitty for you. These have been all around NYC for a minute now:

 

And the beer thing is true too, many (most?) places do not clean their lines regularly if at all, so you could be drinking some nasyt shit in your brew too.

fuck it....shit like this never scars me anymore.

germs are everywhere anyway.

[ElectricitySucks 24]

Excessive amounts of anything could hurt you.

 

Welcome to today.

fast food is gross to begin with.. except mcdonalds fries

all fast food soda sucks to begin with.. tastes like the worst knock off shit ever

[Spring Break '92 91]

Fuck soda. I even made a thread with that title once a long time ago. I drink lots of water and sweet tea every so often, thats it. Honestly I don't drink anything carbonated period.

[SwampFightOner 710]

McDonalds fries suck these days, BK has by far the best. BK burgers are also the shit.

 

On the poultry side of things, McDonalds has the best chicken nuggets, while Wendys has the best chicken sandwiches.

 

I don't really eat fast food too often anymore, but it is still amazing sometimes. I also don't really like soda period, I usually only drink it with pizza or buffalo wings. 99% of the time if I'm not drinking alcohol of some kind I'm drinking water

[Vulcan 139]

mcdonalds fries hella suck now ill cosign that bk has the best fries

 

other than in n out of course

[SystemFailure 548]

Skim milk always

[acer910 126]

and to think... we used to carry a orange construction cooler and a long flexible tube and take advantage of the "fill up your own container for .65 cents" at the gas station whenever we needed to re up on soda at the house

 

(they dont let people do this anymore, it only worked about 5 times :lol:)

[SwampFightOner 710]

Skim milk always

 

I used to work at a cafe, and one day our milk delivery didn't come with any skim. I called the boss to ask him if he wanted me to go get some at the store, he said "just pour some water into the whole milk, I bet noone notices".

 

Noone did, and after that we never ordered skim milk again haha

[john_gacy 426]

!?!? BK fries suck, sorry. Steak fries are the way to go anyhow.

I can't think of any fast food off hand that I would consider 'amazing.'

[SwampFightOner 710]

Hardees is amazing, and they have nice thick cut fries with skin still on em and everything.

 

However, because we don't have that in my region I don't include it in my regular fast food discussions...once a year or so treat for me

[gasfacevictm 707]

fuck it....shit like this never scars me anymore.

germs are everywhere anyway.

 

Truth.

 

Not to mention the whole bottled water false consciousness that is on full blast these days. People afraid to drink tap water because it's dirty or whatever bullshit they squawk about. Bottled water is no cleaner. The only reason to buy bottled water is if you are not around a clean tap or in some country with nasty plumbing, like India. What's next, buying clean air because it's so polluted outside? Gimme a fucking break. This shit is no better than when morons buy duct tape, plastic wrap, and milk in bulk during severe storms.

 

Make sure you wash your hands every time a breeze blows, people! If you don't a terrorist might have killed you with anthrax or Islam germs.
