Urban Myths-peanut test?
Supposedly a bowl of peanuts left on a bar were tested and there were traces found of urine from several people, did this survey ever take place or is it an urban myth, kinda puts you off nibbling the peanuts doesn’t it? Don’t know about guys but plenty of women don’t wash their hands after going to the loo, yuk
Its not an urban myth its true go into any bar where there are plates of nuts and you will find them contaminated. I have never eaten peanuts in this way for that reason.
Its not just that though I watched an Oprah Winfrey show where she had sent people out to do tests on all sorts of things, pocket change , childrens play area, cash in department store tills, cinema seats. The results of this certainly made me think twice about eating anywhere other than home again without washing my hands !! It was pretty awful and as that was some years ago it still sticks in my mind today.
It is true if you use a public toilet and watch how many go in and out with out washing hands I think they are disgusting !!

If I stick around long enough for urine-laden peanuts to kill me, I will feel that I have really accomplished something.

Almost makes this squirrel swear off nuts forever. And now if I do weaken and eat them, I may say to myself, "urine trouble". LOL

It’s true! Also about guys not washing their hands – I worked in an office with about 50 guys and 12 females. The liquid soap dispenser in the ladies was replaced every month. The gents? Once a year!

I believe that was mention in some movie and eventually passing from mouth to mouth became an urban myth.
