<p>I apologize in advance if this has been posted before, but I did a quick search and did not find anything.</p>

<p>Just something to think about the next time you’re drinking water at a resataurant… :P</p>
<p>Wow, those are extremely interesting results. A little creepy might I add…since I just ate McDonald’s today for the first time in a couple months. Yuck…I used ice too.</p>
<p>But still, I think the bacteria in the ice is less harmful than the bacteria from the water in the toilet.</p>
<p>Ew. that is pretty nasty.</p>
<p>I never get ice when I get a fountain drink because when you have no ice, you get more to drink. Not only is it economical to stay away from it, I guess it’s also healthier.</p>
<p>Free Refills…</p>
<p>I do get free refills when I’m at a sitdown restaurant. Then, when I leave, I get one big fat last refill.</p>
<p>Heh incidentally there are more bacteria in your hands and face than in your butt. I love unusual information.</p>
<p>I’m not surprised.</p>
<p>There are so many many many many more bacteria on my lips than between my toes (I’ve actually grown my bacteria on agar plates before, multiples times!)… even after a few hours of sweating.</p>
<p>Wow, it’s kinda strange how it’s more sanitary to lick my toes than it would be to kiss me on the lips.</p>
<p>But yea, even toilet water uses the cleaned and filtered water that comes from the treatment plant, so unless people leave some nasty streaks or residue when they do the serious bathroom business, you shouldn’t have too many bacteria after each flush.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry too much about the bacteria in the ice. At such a temperature, they lie dormant and can’t multiply. Conditions in your stomach aren’t ideal for growth either for most bacteria</p>
<p>I survive entirely on fast food. I don’t care what some 12 year old thinks.</p>
<p>Amen to that! Actually since im veg, just the fries and drinks and salads/yogurts etc but w/e.</p>
<p>runningncircles1 i do the same thing
cause whenever they put ice in, then its like 75% of the volume of the cup . and then after 5 minutes the drink is so watery</p>
<p>Eww…and I always order ice water. 
</p>
<p>There was a similar study done a while back about the “5 second rule” that won the IgNobel prize.</p>
<p>That’s one reason why I rarely order drinks at fast food restaurants.</p>
<p>Lifes too short to worry about stuff like this, eh.</p>
<p>^ I agree…and besides toilet water doesnt have that much bacteria</p>
<p>my drinks always come without ice.</p>
<p>Somehow this didn’t surprise me.</p>
<p>I haven’t eaten at a fast food restaurant for awhile. Not that I don’t get cravings. I even saw Super Size Me and read Fast Food Nation. SSM was good, furthering the obvious. FFN had some interesting yet disturbing truths. It’s just, if the ice is that bad, what about the food?</p>
<p>I heard somewhere and consequently believed that putting a lemon in your water sucks up a lot of impurities… am I wrong?</p>
<p>Haha, and some of my waitress friends always made fun of “brown people” (Southest Asian ppl) for always asking to hold off on the ice in their drinks! And then I told them this. And that shut them up. haha</p>
<p>SSM was about ■■■■■■■■ as movies get. If that moron had stuffed himself on Go-Lean or Slim-fast or hydroponically grown tomatoes (given he consumes 5K calories of each like he did in the movie), he would be fat. It doesn’t matter that he ate McDonalds orIhop or Outback Steakhouse or whereever. Fact: Eating in excess of 5000 calories/day, and getting no excercise will cause you to gain weight. Duh! People who think that hack did something groundbreaking lack common sense.</p>

<p>I’m not sure what a lemon does in water, but I know it does something. A lot of the detox books I’ve read all say to drink water with lemon in it, so it may have some detoxification props.</p>
