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 think I'm going to be sick......

If you check the lining of your water spout, ice/water dispenser (on the fridge), and Pur/Brita Water filter spout attached to your water spout on your sink, you will find most likely the same bacterias, as well as algae.

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

 

[Boom]

Well I've never gotten sick from it, so whatever.

I never liked that saying. What doesn't kill you could possibly make you weaker, ill, or injured.

This thread is making me thirsty.

Yeah well this kind of thing is everywhere in the food we eat. We just don't know about it most of the time. So it doesn't really bother me too much.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Thats right people Bacteria exists! *gasps*

Yeah. Like a majority of the oils used at fast foods are simply reused at other places.

No wonder the Pepsi at the gas station up the road always tastes like ****. :/

 

[Master Chief]

lol I guess that explains why fountain soda tastes better... I could never put my finger on it.

I never liked that saying. What doesn't kill you could possibly make you weaker, ill, or injured.

...And that's how you get stronger. I see no wrong!

 

[Manic]

...And that's how you get stronger. I see no wrong!

What if what doesn't kill you puts you in a coma?

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Just to get it out of the way:

"What doesn't kill you, simply makes you..stranger".

 

[Bnightwing]

95% of statistics are made on the spot

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Well I've never gotten sick from it, so whatever.

We have an immune system for a reason.

 

[Ash J. Williams]

Reminds me of Fast Food Nation in a way.

 

[I'm Old Greg]

poopy juice

What if what doesn't kill you puts you in a coma?

Well, coma = brain dead and brain dead = pretty much dead so, if you're in a coma you're in a life timeout, so...

Harry Rydell: It is a sad fact of life, Don, but the truth is we all have to eat a little **** from time to time.

 

[Timstuff]

Darnit! After all those years of me getting away with wiping turd on soda machine nozzles, they're finally starting to catch on. Oh well, I guess it's time to move on to peeing into Mountain Dew bottles and then sealing them back up...

 

[Manic]

Well, coma = brain dead and brain dead = pretty much dead so, if you're in a coma you're in a life timeout, so...

There's a difference between being in a coma and being brain dead. A coma just means you're unconscious, but brain dead means your brain has shut down and you can't even breathe without help. You can wake up from a coma; once you're brain dead, you're brain dead.

Good thing I don't drink soda!

I love an icy cold Coke
