Are the Hooter's girls rubbing lemons on thier asses?
Damn.
A lot of people no longer ask for a slice of lemon in their ice water when they go to a restaurant. Recently the NBC Today Show revealed how those lemon wedges can be loaded with harmful germs. We heard from some of you who wanted us to test the lemons at San Antonio restaurants. News 4 Trouble Shooter Jaie Avila serves up the results, and they may leave you with a sour stomach.
We tested lemon slices from 10 restaurants around San Antonio, and believe it or not, half of them were found to be contaminated with either E-coli, or fecal bacteria from human or animal waste.
Who knew lemons could be such a magnet for germs? Even some researchers assumed it might act as a natural disinfectant for your drink.
Dr. Annette Fothergill at the UT Health Science Center, who tested our lemons for us, said before the tests, "Citrus fruit is very acidic, so I'm thinking a lot of bacteria won't survive that kind of environment."
Well, the petri dish doesn't lie. All kinds of nasty stuff showed up when the Trouble Shooters took lemon wedges from local restaurants, and had them tested.
We started by visiting restaurants in different parts of the city, where we ordered water or tea with a slice of lemon. Then, as researchers instructed us to, we used hand sanitizer before putting the lemons into sterile plastic bags and taking them to the lab.
Some of the restaurants kept their lemons pretty clean, like the Denny's at 410 and Perrin Beitel. The lemon slice we got at the Village Inn on Southeast Military also got high marks; nothing but some common, harmless bacteria.
When we tested a lemon we were served at the Pizza Hut in the 600 block of San Pedro, the petri dish turned bright pink.
"This is an indication of a coliform, Klebsiella species, and it is an indication of fecal contamination," explained Dr. Fothergill.
That could mean the lemon wasn't washed, it was cut with a dirty knife, or an employee didn't wash up after using the restroom.
In a statement, Pizza Hut told us, "We have strict guidelines and this restaurant has very high health department scores. We are committed to providing a clean and safe dining environment for our guests."
We got a similar result from the lemon slice we got at the Sea Island Shrimp House on Southwest Military. Lab tests showed definite signs of fecal contamination.
Sea Island said it was surprised by the findings, since it has received 6 perfect health scores and 3 Kitchen Cops Blue Plate awards, but adds, "We always welcome opportunities to improve our company practices and are identifying steps to go above and beyond the FDA and industry protocols."
Fecal bacteria was also present on the lemon wedge we were served at the Thai Corner restaurant in the 8400 block of Fredericksburg Road. The owner told us his "employees take great care in their own personal hygiene, including hand washing...And a dedicated cutting board and knives are used...to prevent cross contamination."
So, who served us the dirtiest lemon? That dubious distinction went to the Hooters in the 8500 block of Wurzbach. The lemon they put in our drink contained 3 different kinds of fecal contamination.
"We have a mixture, a nice fecal tail here," said Dr. Fothergill.
Unlike the other places, the source of the bacteria is almost certainly human.
Fothergill explained, "Quite clearly someone did not wash their hands before they handled lemons and sliced them, and put them on the cup."
We went back to Hooters to ask them about the results. One of the managers told us their policy is that servers use a fork to grab the lemon slice, instead of touching it with their fingers.
John Totin, Hooters Assistant Manager, explained, "So we use forks to put the lemon on to the drink."
The results of our investigation even made an impression on the researchers who conducted the test.
"I have now decided I will no longer put any citrus items in my drinks so I order them without. I don't even want them touching the glass anymore," explained Dr. Fothergill.
Some of the restaurants told us they would be changing the way they do things because of our findings.
Mama's Cafe on Nacogdoches, which served us a lemon containing E-coli bacteria, said it will no longer allow servers to put the lemon slice on the edge of the glass by hand, and anyone who handles them will use gloves or tongs.
That may have you wondering, what are the health department's rules for handling lemons? Servers can only use their bare hands to handle or squeeze lemons if they wash their hands and use hand sanitizer each time. Even the restaurants admit, that 2-step process is so time-consuming, nobody does it.

Dammit I like eating lemons too. you for posting this.
Then you must be full of .
meanwhile san antonioans will go on and consuming the more dangerous high fatty high refined carbs, along with high fructose corn syrup drinks while avoiding the lemons.
No .
Please.
i understand one has to go to the bathroom, but why do they have to get on their hands.. are they that bad at wiping?
Gross. I even take the lemons out and eat them. Sick!!!!
Well played.
umm, ok. anyone thinking about what must be on the rest of the food at these places? generally it's the bartender that cuts the lemons in the morning... think about what goes on in the kitchen! then again, i haven't had food poisoning in a while, so i will continue to eat fearlessly.
This is why I always pray for my food before I eat it.
Oooh, if the stuff the employees handle is so ty, can you imagine those places with the self serve lemons? Granted they usually have tongs, but I'm sure they are no match for the poopy, snotty, little paws on most kids!! yuck.
if you don't personally prepare your own food you really don't know what's in your food. buyer beware.
How the does this happen? Are they using their buttholes to pass along the lemons to each other ?So, who served us the dirtiest lemon? That dubious distinction went to the Hooters in the 8500 block of Wurzbach. The lemon they put in our drink contained 3 different kinds of fecal contamination.

Some of you have had fecal matter in your mouth before and not have known it.
Especially, if you go down on Women who wipe " to clit".
Two Girls One Cup
That's how bladder infections happen.

Bring your own lemon from home or better yet just stay home if your that worried about it.
So that's why her ass tasted like that.
Interesting variation of "suck & blow".
Ewwwww!Interesting variation of "suck & blow".
and dudes, remember. wipe away from the balls.
This stuff always makes me laugh. Do you leave the toilet seat up when you flush? Your toothbrush probably has fecal contamination from airborne microdroplets released during the flush. I reckon if you tested most of the stuff in your home it would have "fecal contamination". How did humanity ever survive?
However, that doesn't excuse these creeps who don't wash their hands after going to the toilet... their parents never taught them to? :puke
