Oh well, I haven't got an upset stomach in the last few years so it can't be that bad :) And I take ice every day. Not making a habit out of kicking toilet seats though so I can't compare. Good for training the immune system.

Ps here in Barcelona 99% of the ice served comes in a big bag from a factory. You can tell because they're huge round cylinders with a hole in the middle.

Nobody makes their own ice here, neither at home nor restaurants and other hospitality locations. The only exception seems to be the fast food chains. I would assume that stuff is pretty clean as the factory specializes in it.

Is it not like that in America?
