What's a skinny fat?

I can’t drink fountain soda after having cleaned the machines, if you could call it that, at a movie theater when I was teen. Bugs getting in the nozzle slots at night and the young kids not giving a frick and just jamming on the nozzles in the morning with no cleaning, just run it for a few seconds. Barely or if ever cleaning/replacing the hoses from the syrup boxes. Rarely cleaning the ice machines. It’s just gross, frick that shite.

I don’t really drink soda anyway, real lemonade is about the only sugary drink I like and drink because frick kidney stones. I will say a nice cold coke with pizza is amazing once in awhile though, bring back the nostalgia from pizza places as a kid.

Now I know why McDonald’s always had better tasting fountain drinks

Jesus, it's like we're in Tijuana. "No thank you, I'll open the beer myself."

Don't drink it if you don't hear the CO2 released.

What it probably means is that toilet water has less live bacteria/is cleaner than most people believe.

I would not be surprised, and what I surmise from this article, to find fast rood restaurants probably clean their toilets more frequently than their water/soda lines and ice makers.

So what's the pH of coca-cola or other soft drinks, and what's the lowest pH that bacteria can tolerate?

Thanks God I don't drink soda anymore. Used to drink it a lot as a kid, but I don't drink it anymore. It's just nasty to me.

Poop must taste like magic then because soda fountain drinks taste much better than canned or bottled.
