Soda fountains are covered in poo residue.
Treehugger and a bunch of other bloggers jumped all over this, while The Bloggess was obsessing over if Diet Dr. Pepper is a diet cola.

That’s right–not only do soda fountains contain bacteria that originated in poop and potentially dangerous amounts of E. Coli, but they’ve become resistant to antibiotics as well. Fantastic.

I think I now know why I fart a lot after I stop at the local fountain. I was blaming the excess carbonation. Now I know it’s the excess fecal matter.

It’s nice to know.
