This food story will gross you out.

We were sitting inside at a cafe eating, and there was outside seating too. I happened to look outside, and caught this:

Guy is eating a hamburger, takes the ketchup squirt bottle and stuffs the squirt bottle right into the burger where he'd been taking bites.

Could not believe it.

Makes me look at those ketchup squirt bottle with a whole lot more suspicion -- I never considered them entirely virgin, but eeeeeeyyyyeeewwwwww.

1. He might as well have just licked the cap afterwards.

From now on, it's the individual ketchup packets for me! Ew...

2. never trust anything on the table

Salt & pepper shakers, condiments, table tents(cards with specials) and anything else on your table have all been touched by unknown parties who touched God knows what before you got there. Also, unscrew that squirt bottle sometime and take a look around the rim.
I hate to be wasteful, but I stick to the packets.

3. I with you on that.

Sometimes I'll walk into a place, take one look at the grime level, and just walk out. Better off hungry rather than sick.

4. Thanks that'll stop me

From one of my favorite restaurant activities of sucking catsup/ketchup right out of the squirt bottle -- alas, I love it so.

7. Ice cream machines went off my list

when I saw a little kid take his fingers and wipe off the ice cream that was left hanging. blech.

[Pobeka]

8. Doesn't make it healthy, but at least the kid didn't know any better

I mean, the guy I saw was probably in his mid 40's. No excuse whatsoever.

9. Typhoid Tom

10. How about iced bleach? That is what a friend of mine got three days in

a row at the drive through at Hardee's; she only had the bad luck to get some in her mouth day 1 but you'd think the employees would learn...oh well
