Fast food ice vs. toilet water - a 12 year old's experiment.

Quote
"My hypothesis was that the fast food restaurants’ ice would contain more bacteria that the fast food restaurants’ toilet water."
She was right.

Jasmine Roberts (great name!!), a 7th grade student at Benito Middle School in Tampa, Florida, examined the amount of bacteria in ice served at fast food restaurants as part of her science fair project. She compared the amount of bacteria in the ice with the amount of bacteria in the toilet water of the same restaurant. These are places like Micky' D's, Burger King, etc.. She found that 4 out of 5 fast food joints have higher bacteria levels in their ice dispenser's water than the levels found in their toilets. At the drive through it was 3/5 (thank god I'm a drive through guy).

WooHoo!

P.S. I have no idea what the guy in the picture is doing. A taste test?
