Ever wonder how often restaurants clean their ice machines? Turns out a lot of them don't. It makes sense if you think about it—what kid getting paid pennies at a fast food joint is going to voluntarily clean a soiled piece of machinery? A lot of these places just wait until the machine gets so nasty that they have to call up a specialist to come help. @jantheman____ is one HVAC-R technician who has seen it all. He even has a series on TikTok dedicated to exposing disgusting ice machines. In his most recent post, @jantheman____ explains how tainted ice can make people sick as he points out the disgusting debris floating in an ice machine's water source. This guy's videos have turned me off of fast food and hotel ice for good.
