I always thought that Starphucks (alleged) coffee tasted pretty schitty, this just confirms it.

Hey, folks, try coffee from the Black Rifle Coffee Company instead. I’m not affiliated with it in any way, but I like both their coffees (I’ve had several) and their mission (ex-SF guys donating coffee to guys on the front lines, to vets and to various PBAs). Oh, and no schitt in the coffee, either. Oh, and their website is a hoot: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/

Here’s one of my favorite of their roasts, and one that is on point for this thread: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/collections/partner-products/products/f-ck-hipster-coffee

Last time I was in London, I went to a “Italian” place to eat. I love Italian.

They brought my food to me and in it was a cracker wrapper. I sent it back and left. The place was run by a bunch of diaper heads.

Italian my ass. I went and bought a bag of “crisps” as they call chips over there, and had them. Had the taxi driver take me to a good place the next morn and had me a good meal at a place run by Brits....Brits not Pakis.

Islamic Toilet Etiquette

9. One should remove the feces on one's anus with one's finger and wash one's hand. If there are still traces of filth, one should wash them with water.

Ice machines require regular cleaning or they can get gnarly - when you enter a restaurant, ask to see the kitchen. If they refuse, leave.

This is one of those issues where I am a little bit disappointed in Trump. Surely he knows these stories, or someone close to him knows. I mean sanitation and immigration is not a new issue. He should be talking about this. The fact that it’s so disgusting is a good thing. Let CNN and the other mediots defend forcing Americans to eat shit.

I read where some Americans who visited Mexico would drink only bottled water for fear of Montezuma’s Revenge. Then they would get an iced soda, with the ice formed from local water - or order a salad, whose lettuce was washed with local water. Guess what happened.

So Starbucks’ coffee finally matches their politics.

Hmm, what’s up with this.

One store, one chain, one time... I’m able to buy in.

Three chains, three locations, all have fecal bacteria?

This sounds rather strange to me.

Think about it. Water goes into a pipe into the machine. The ice taken out of the machine is take out with a scoop.

What would the source be? Three locations across three chains have the same sort of problem?

This needs more explanation before I can buy in.

If this is a naturally occurring bacteria, not associated with fecal contamination, then this headline is very misleading.

If it’s a naturally occurring bacteria, we’ve probably all been exposed to it over our lifetime, as we drank cold iced drinks.

That information is not provided for background purposes.

I don’t care for the way media presents information these days. It’s not to inform. It’s to sensationalize, to grab attention, scare people. In this instance it may be unfair to sensationalize the issue that may be not all that uncommon.

If three places had this problem, there’s something they aren’t telling us, like this is not all that unusual.

Everything poops. Everything rots and dies.

Something I'm sure every parent tells their kids. That's what I tell the grandchildren. When they're over and I toss food scraps into my compost bin and turn it, they marvel over the hundreds of earthworms present, and they love to touch and handle them. I make them wash their hands right after that. One granddaughter proudly takes care of an earthworm in a container in her room. Poopy compost dirt is great for plants.

Must have used city water to make their ice.
