Much more likely to be mildew. Still gross, but not toxic.
I genuinely cannot process what I’m looking at here.
Red is the camera, blue is what you see in the picture
Excellent diagram.
Blue looks like a dude wearing shades
I stared at it for like 3 minutes and suddenly it flipped and all made sense, like a proper optical illusion.
The metal comes down and to the right, then bends back to the left. The shadow is the reflection off the metal. The metal is coming down and out of a hole. The white area is a completely flat surface.
20 year old dispenser there too. (date code says 08/05)
Toxic black mold is a greenish-black gelatinous mold. It is not really black. Mold is not healthy and some people have severe negative reactions to regular black molds though.

My mom has a strong allergic reaction to mold. Her nostrils blocks (similar to a strong flu) when she touches some moldy object or enter in a moldy room.
As someone who works in the industry, always assume there is mold. Always assume equipment isn’t cleaned as often as it should be. Always assume everything is gross.
Spent 12 years in commercial refrigeration. Absolutely, and “expensive” doesn’t mean things are any cleaner. I was in some 5 star places that had some of the nastiest kitchens.
I remember working in fast food and almost nobody ever thought to clean the nozzles or clean out the ice bin.
There is probably a ton of mold inside where the ice is kept.
Friendlys does! Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, we “cleaned” them by letting them sit in seltzer and then wiping them off before reattaching them. I’m only now realizing that we went to so much effort to do that, but using the same sanitizer as the soft serve machines would have been significantly more effective and easier.
It at least keeps things like black mold or giant bacterial colonies from getting hold, but it’s kind of pointless.
still not the most concerning health hazard from eating mcdonalds. 🤣
Yummy
just put on lab goggles, douse it in and out with hot water mixed with sodium hydroxide, put a sign up that says “do not touch, guaranteed caustic burns”, and fuck off and feign ignorance.
