Thoroughly sanitizing the fountain “between rentals” is irrelevant. Wahl’s point, made sufficiently clear w/ the many examples that he gives, is that “after just a single child has used a chocolate fountain” (or even a “double-dipping” adult), it becomes a haven for disease. I don’t think he was attacking the rental companies and their sanitizing practices, but rather our disgraceful habits as GUESTS at events where these fountains are featured.

Willy…kudos for employing disabled veterans, but that sounds like you have them locked in a room full of noxious chemicals.

Disabled Veteran!?!?! What pay too cheap for the ones not desperate for a job? Well, Sir, I take offense at your slave wages, and wheelchair sweatshops. Previously, on two separate occasion, we have seen exactly the public menace your Factories represent, especially in regards to safety hazard and health hazard your Factory has proven to be. Regardless of the eventual effect on the development of the individual, who has been Victimize! Regardless of, through the process of injury, due to your unsafe conditions in your factory; even if through the experience, the individual shows positive growth, even if through the process of injury they found that their previous defects, whether social, mental, or perhaps even a derivative of the two previously mentioned factors. Even if the discovery of this underlying and pre-existing condition caused the individual to be less distressed at their permanent dis-figuration or other deleterious physical effects, possibly due to a new found clarity and mental focus on their previous choices. Even if that was the eventual effect of the injury suffered upon the individual, this does not mitigate the fact that such an injury occurred, however I have seen no evidence that any but your famous “Prize Winners” even receive any sort of compensation for their peppermint disfigurement. Tell us mister W, how have you compensated dear Miss Violet Beauregard, have you even seen one of the B-Grade science fiction “films” that your unsafe food products, dyes and additives have forced her into, just to give her some form of income!?! Have you even looked into Mike TeeVee’s budding carrier as an aid to the elderly? Have you even take out the lazy Corporate step of funding an Philanthropy, in his name, in order to superficially appear to care, and try to show him that the structural and spinal damage that he suffered in your facility could even be to his advantage? No! And, “Sir” I must say that you are a person, who’s soul, instead of being creamy nougat, as befits one of whom which the moniker “The Candy Man” is often spoken or even sang about, is instead Black, Black, Black. And not even a sugar confection infused with an essence of caraway. No Sir! Your soul has the same properties as the matter which constitutes the majority of our reality, of which we cannot theorize the construction and constitution of it’s contents, that is your Soul! For all intents and appearances Nothing, a soul which only Atréju with the help of Fuchur, der Glücksdrache could even attempt to fathom or correct.

Rest assured, our chocolate fountains are thoroughly sanitized between rentals. All clump screens, tubes and pump o-rings are removed, cleaned of debris, and soaked in a solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) by disabled veterans. –Willy W’s Fountain Rentals
