Girl, 12, proves toilet water cleaner than ice
A Florida schoolgirl won top prize with a science project proving toilet water is cleaner than ice in fast food restaurants.
Jasmine Roberts, 12, of New Tampa, tested her thoery in five local restaurants, reports Tampa Bay's 10 News.
"My hypothesis was that the fast food restaurantsÂ’ ice would contain more bacteria that the fast food restaurantsÂ’ toilet water," she said.
Jasmine says at each restaurant she flushed the toilet once, then used sterile gloves to gather samples.
She also collected ice from soda fountains and asked for cups of ice at drive thru windows. She then tested the samples at a lab.
Jasmine said: "I found that 70% of the time, the ice from the fast food restaurant's contain more bacteria than the fast food restaurant's toilet water."
Her project won the science fair at Benito Middle School, and she hopes to win the top prize at a regional science and engineering fair.

She is being biased. She collected the ice from soda fountains. They would have already been contaminated. If she went to freeze ice and collect it from fast food restaurants fridge and test them and found the same results, then the study is more reasonable. -
please leh.. you go where eat also same.. hawker center.. or restaurant.. you never know what water the kitchen staff use. i work in restaurant before i know. the food you eat you also becareful.

It has long been said all the food you eat outside home, it is best to enjoy it rather than see the process of preparing it cuz it may just kill your appetite for the day

Maybe the sterile gloves help to sterile the toilet water?
