In a jaw-dropping middle school science project, 12-year-old Jasmine Roberts from Florida revealed that 70% of ice samples taken from fast food restaurants were more contaminated than toilet water. Yes — you read that right. Using sterile tools, Jasmine compared ice machine samples and toilet bowl water from the same locations, only to discover bacterial loads (including E. coli) were significantly higher in the ice. The cause? Poorly cleaned machines and staff using bare hands or unwashed scoops. Meanwhile, toilets often contain treated municipal water, ironically making them cleaner by comparison. Her experiment made national headlines and forced several restaurant chains to re-evaluate sanitation protocols, sparking an industry-wide reminder: sometimes the dirtiest dangers are the coldest ones. #FoodSafety #FastFoodFacts #HealthAwareness #DirtyIce #MiddleSchoolScience
