Worked at a fast food place ages ago, and I remember cleaning the caps of each fountain of the top image: they were pretty horrific. Another poster mentioned mold... they're not exaggerating. They were probably the second-nastiest surface in the restaurant, second only to the floor of the bathrooms.
Now, I'm under no illusion that the Cloa-Cola dispenser is actually sanitary, but it's gotta be better than the other model.
People I met who worked at a dessert factory said “no one cleans the ice cream machine because it smells bad when you open it”
Not to say they shouldn’t be shutdown but I bet mold is more common than people think.
Heh - Cloaca Cola
I can taste when they haven't cleaned the nozzles for a very long time. I try not to think about how moldy they are even when I can't taste it.
What did it for me was the bugs. Those little fruit-fly fuckers... they love sugar, and those taps are a concentrated source. Until someone turns it on, and they get blasted off the tube and stuck onto the sticky inside surface of the cap, where they die and continue to get blasted with concentrate, so there's this membrane of soda residue, dead fruit flies, and mold.
...infact the taste you're referencing might legit be rotting bugs if it has a kind of rancid protein flavor.
I wonder how many of those fruit flies get blasted straight into people's drink vs onto the edge of the cap, where they're just sucked up through a straw and drank by a customer who's none the wiser.
Nom nom.
