If You’re in the UK and Choose Ice, There May Be Turd in All of Your Instant Drinks
Diet soda can kill you, but may not kill, and soda full of flavor can kill, but may not kill, but in any case, if you are treated in a fountain with soda in a fast food, it is likely that you will eat her … faeces side. But maybe only if you are in the UK!
CNBC reports that researchers in the BBC’s Watchdog series tested 10 ice samples in UK chains McDonald’s, Burger King and KFC and found traces of “faecal coliform” in all three, with “significant” levels in Burger King. and KFC.
Fecal coliform bacteria are linked to a variety of diseases, and while Burger King and KFC have since issued statements of alarm and commitment to better “handling ice and handling ice,” McDonald’s noted that the levels found in its ice samples were quite low, and “Unreliable indicators of potential health risks”.
This may be true, but for the paranoid fast food consumer, the goal is clear: if you are not willing to give up soda entirely, enjoy a warm drink knowing that you are avoiding, perhaps, ice crusts.
