After the past few years, those of us who remain traumatized by the pandemic might start becoming wholly aware of germs and how they spread.

One of the most horrifying ways you might be distressed to learn is actually the ice machines in a fast food restaurant. You know—the ones that sit in the middle of the soda fountain, luring you in with the promise of cooling your beverage.


Do not fall for their siren call, friend.

See ahead.

BLECH.

Giphy

An HVACR (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) worker exposed the amount of filth restaurants often allow their ice machines to simply exist in.

"A lot of times people go to a restaurant and get sick, and they think it's food poisoning. Let me tell you—there's a chance it was their ice that got you sick."

People were appalled.

The amount of microbes floating around in this scummy, disgusting water is absolutely unacceptable.

Some of them can even spread E. coli and coliform.

In fact, E. coli was found in 30% of samples taken from 88 establishments in the UK.

The restaurant stays unidentified in the video, but the original poster implies this type of treatment is also common in restaurants across the United States.

"That water is what's making you sick. You can't tell me this water hasn't given people the runs. It's so, so dirty."

Our original poster has a channel full of videos of the most disgusting ice machines he has ever come across.

He strongly advises, in each video, that you order your restaurant beverage without any ice.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
