Tuesday Afternoon Poll

    Fountain drinks kind of gross me out after working movie theater concessions for five years. If a business doesn't regularly take the nozzles apart to wash and sanitize them...oh the gunk and mold!

    Ick!

    ew.  you may have just ruined my blossoming $2 a day diet coke/pepsi habit..

  • Chymes - That never occurred to me. Oh yuck. 
  • Damn you Chymes! Hopefully McDonalds cleans out their nozzles since that is my main source of fountain pop.

    Eww. Eww. Eww!  So gross. Normally I am not a pop person.  Unless I am sick, hung over or really sad, then I love a fountain pop (preferably from 7-11 or McD's).  But I think you just cured me of this Chymes!

    LOL!

    Well, let's just say that at least Showcase Cinemas did not do this regularly enough. Since they have since been bulldozed, none of you have to worry about that one!

    Can't speak for anyplace else, though...

    Rest assured that the fountain machine at Chili's on 54th/Clyde Park is clean.  There was always a big to-do about cleaning it for end of the night side work every night (assuming they still do this).  Stick out tongue

    Hey!  I also worked in concessions at a Showcase Cinemas (not around here, though) for several years!  Small world.  We soaked the nozzles overnight, though, so ours were clean...except that we also had Brisk iced tea as one of our fountain drinks, and nobody ever ordered it.  When we had a different line replaced in one of the fountains, we discovered that the Brisk line was completely full of mold.  Ick!

    Yeah...there's that to consider, too. Our rarely-used line was the orange pop.

    Ah, food service!

  • I need an "I try not to drink pop at all" option.  HFCS and artificial sweeteners both screw with my head & make me feel lousy.  I can drink the Pepsi Throwback, but the availability is so limited, I normally don't even bother.  It's better for me not to drink all the food coloring & crap anyway.
