Fast Food Restaurants Ice Worse Than Their Toilet Water. - Neatorama

Next time you order a drink at a fast food restaurant, ask for no ice. Jasmine Roberts, a seventh-grade student at Benito Middle School in New Tampa, Florida, tells you why:

When it came time for her to choose a science project, she wondered about the ice in fast food restaurants.
"My hypothesis was that the fast food restaurants’ ice would contain more bacteria that the fast food restaurants’ toilet water."
"I found that 70-percent of the time, the ice from the fast food restaurant's contain more bacteria than the fast food restaurant's toilet water."

there are quite a few anti-bacterial washes these restaurants use for cleaning things like toilets that i doubt you'd like to drink.

Less bacteria than the toilet water? It sounds gross on the surface of things, but what if it only means that restraunt toilets are really really clean?

Without more context, the conclusions are meaningless.

Paul - the solution is to pee on the keyboard!
John - less bacteria than the ice in the drinks? There's something wrong there...

Urine kills bacteria, not suprising at all that toliet water would have less bacteria.

Toilet seats are virtually bacteria-free, whereas most computer keyboards are simply infested. Mind-boggelling
