I just peed on my chips. Should I still eat them?

[JihadOnTheRiver]

I was just using a urinal and I had my lunch in my hand. My bag of chips was dangling precariously between my sam'ich and my Gatorade. The bag of chips was unopened.

The bag fell into the urinal, passing through my stream of urine. I finished, flushed, got some paper towels, and got it out. I cleaned off the pee pretty thoroughly, fully planning on eating it. Now the bag is just sitting on my desk and I have no idea what to do. Opinions?

Why would you ever have your lunch anywhere near a urinal?

Who pees with a bunch of stuff in his hands? Set that stuff on the counter next time.

I voted to eat the chips.

Is the bag watertight?
Generally chip bags arent. And even if it is watertight there is still something unsettling about eating food that you've peed on.

Go ahead and eat them. Industrially processed food has had many more disgusting things happen to it than that, so don't worry about it. If it does bother you, picture a mouse taking a dump into the potato chip press, laugh at how cute that is, and have a bite.

Try leaving your lunch somewhere outside the bathroom next time. I would never take my lunch into the john with me.

The chip companies actually purposely make the bags not to be airtight. They don't want to extend the shelf-life of the product.

lol.


I voted not to eat them -- not because I think it's unsanitary or unsafe (or even gross, because they didn't touch the pee), but because I'd be thinking about it while I was eating them, and therefore wouldn't enjoy the chips.

Seriously, though, leave the chips on the sink next time.

Yeah I guess I shoulda cleared that up first. I was walking back from buying my lunch and made an emergency pee stop. There was no counters. No, I don't normally bring food into the John. But still, I think I wanna eat these chips.

It's all in the timing.

1) Use bathroom. Wash hands.
2) Order lunch. Eat.
3) Use bathroom. Wash hands.
4) Nap.

It really is just a recipe for disaster eating your chips whilst urinating. What did you expect to happen? You manage to successfully pee without dropping said chips and return to the office to eat them? Sods law says you will drop those chips in the urinal.
