A woman has a video online about an easy way to serve drinks at a party. Fill the kitchen sink with the drink of your choice. Add dry ice for a nice effect. Your guests can simply scoop the drink from the sink. Of course, when they go back for seconds, they'll be dipping the cup with their saliva on it. What an idea!

Regardless whether someone dip their used cup in, the idea of using the kitchen sink to hold drink doesn't sound good to me. But if she get views by doing so then she did alright.

You do not have memories of water fountains in school or public ones that were used for years by huge populations? Or, a bunch of boys (or girls) sharing a garden hose on a hot day? I drank from those for years as did all my friends. I do not recall anyone getting sick. Yes, I do know there are viruses in society that did not exist then.

I'm with you! Kitchen sinks are notoriously filthy repositories of bacteria.

Unless someone was sucking on the faucet instead of drinking the free-flowing stream of water, the water fountains are safe.

My take is she never wants to have another party😳

You don't think, as a entire class lined up for a drink of water in the hallway of a school, that a few mouths touched the fountain?

I was in the lines and never saw a single person put their mouth on the spigot. Maybe the kids I grew up with were better trained.

I not only witnessed that, but accidently did it.

Sure did! In my former childhood years, we did many things that would be frowned upon today. Occasionally I share those experiences with my 3 grandchildren (ages 19 - 24). They love the stories and often look bewildered.

When I was a kid in the late ‘40’s, we learned to swim in the Hudson River by diving off the ‘Sugar Docks’ in Yonkers, NY. At the time there was still sewer refuse, feces, and even dead bodies from NYC. My younger brother later on even picked up the ‘floater bodies’ working for (blank blank) Rescue, placing in body bags. We even reported one for rescue near us. Many times avoided same in swimming.
If my Immune system survived all that, not much is going to get me now, and I’m going on 87. Water faucets don’t bother me much at all now! 😀

Maybe we had so many germs back then that we became immune to them and that may be why we are going on 87!

Not to be a party pooper, but. . .using dry ice to cool the drinks in the sink is dangerous. If a piece breaks off, or intentionally broken off and left in the drinking glass, the excessive cold of the dry ice can cause lung damage. If the piece is accidentally swallowed, damage to the tongue, throat and stomach can ensue. Sorry you can't use my sink for your drinks with dry ice-nope, nope, nope. Party Pooper Flyerace

It'll never happen in my sink, no matter what kind of ice or drink.
