Didn't think the fast food industry could get any grosser? Well it can.

This time, it's not the food, but the soda fountains to be worried about.

According to _Tom Laskawy_

professional and blogger for _grist.org_

microbiologists from Hollins University found that 48% of sodas tested from

the fast food fountains contain coliform bacteria, which is typically

fecal in origin. And most bacteria found were antibiotic resistant, as icing on

the cake.
