man you guys live in some gross areas. im not sure a kid could even reach the nozle in places near me. They tend to be somewhere between 4 or 5 feet off the ground and a kid has to hold the bottom of the cup and use the top of the cup to extend his reach to activate the lever. now messy pop residue all over the counter. that is common.
You tell yourself whatever you need to, but they've done studies and those nozzles were almost always covered in poop bacteria from the people using them, the people "cleaning" them or a combo.
Links to these studies would be nice

Congratulations, you've provided a source for your claim and it was just that easy!
I really don't care man, everyone on the Internet needs sources for things that are pretty commonly known like they don't also have keyboards.
I honestly almost didn't bother searching for you this time either. Each thread on the Internet isn't the beginning of some scientific argument like a lot of randos seem to think. I used to care a little more before I realized just how worthless and stupid providing sourced claims was.
Now I know, you aren't changing most people's minds. They'll still think masks don't work, that covid is caused by 5g, that the world is flat, etc etc etc.
I'm happy to just know I'm right and whistle along and take the downvotes on the chin because it's all worthless anyway.
Many claim to want evidence just to give you a homework assignment, and won't be persuaded a single iota by it.
