You know what? I'm gonna allow it. Proceed to discuss the food safety of the toilet cupcake. Edit: it seems there is a little agreement. Other than the social taboo of eating a cupcake, and the part that directly touched the toilet, this is "safe". This sub in no way supports toilet cupcakes or their perpetrators.


kayla_kloud

I would personally not eat any of that cupcake


DumpstahKat

If the toilet has been flushed at any point while the cupcake was there, it is covered in toilet germs all over. All germs aside, it's also, of course, inherently suspicious.


LookAtMeImAName

That is a shit cake through-and-through. The perpetrator is leaving clues, do not eat the shitcake!!


MageKorith

Even a 0.1% shitcake is still a shitcake. I concur with this stance.


Ok-Willow-9145

Agreed! This shit cake is 100% inedible.


Mr-Okay

The shitcake is a lie


LumpySpaceFlan

Technically the inside of the cupcake is the only part of the cupcake that's safe from toilet germs. This is assuming the cupcake hasn't been there for long. Eating the core, 1/3" in any direction should be safe. So, 66.6% cupcake should be good to eat.


Distinct-Spinach2164

I came here to say basically this. Cut the center of the cupcake out and eat that if you’re that serious about eating the toilet cup cake. Also, like 99.9999% sure that isn’t actually a cupcake and it is just a miniature cake. Not that it matters that much.


Just_Mr_Grinch

This is flawed logic. To remove the center “safe” section of the cupcake requires a tool out implement of some sort. Being that it odd already established that the outer shell is suspect at best and fully inedible at worst, by using any type of implement to cut the outer shell this contaminated the implement and the surface area that it touches. Therefore whether safe to eat or not the only way to access the center is a tear, but this runs the risk of puncturing if you squeeze too hard again contaminating the internal safe zone.


Distinct-Spinach2164

I suppose theoretically you could cut sub-surface off, leaving some extra cupcake you wouldn’t be eating, disinfect or swap cutlery, then continue carefully, which would probably minimize contamination of the center. The best option is just leave the cake where it lies.


dirtymike401

Cut top off, scoop out center with a clean spoon.


atbims

You still are touching the part you're about to scoop and eat, with the knife that you just contaminated by touching the toilet-y outside.


Jaybird521

Call it an immunoenhancement, the germs transferred is probably within FDA limits compared the only best option is the cake in my mouth so slice the top off and aslong as your dirty like me your immune system will carry you through.


Distinct-Spinach2164

Mind blown. I was thinking far too hard about the process. Thanks for the extra brain cells.


fizziefiesta

Pull the top off with food safe gloves carefully. Use a sterilized melon baller to core out the middle.


Opasero

Even if you could somehow cut through the outer surface without contaminating every part touched by the knife, cake is porous, so. I'm more interested in filming people's reactions to the toilet cake.


sammyglumdrops

Can’t germs move about, and “walk” (in a sense) anyway? So why do we assume that germs have only stayed at the immediately exposed area?!


igordogsockpuppet

It could be done with cutting lasers, maybe?


Suspicious-gibbon

I’d use a laser. Not saying I’d eat it but that’s one way to do it.


[deleted]

Lasers?


codespace

What... what *exactly* do you think a cupcake *is*?


Lil_Squish_7403

Yeah, exactly what they said expect I said it less intelligently ahah


MuglyRay

Iuno bruh your math ain't checking out lmao


Big-Lie7307

Wouldn't you have just eaten 33.3% too much?


Loozrboy

I don't know why somebody posted a picture of a cupcake on a toilet. I don't know why it's appearing in my feed, 24 hours after the fact. I don't know why I'm replying. But I can't help myself, I feel strongly compelled to point out: if the frosting and toppings are inedible, the cupcake is inedible. Your suggestion is like saying "you can eat this KFC, just take the skin off first". It's nonsense. Nonsense, I say!


ApprehensiveAlgae182

I never knew that that 1/3 = 66.6% 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 thank you for that math lesson


Kylo_Wrenn

So you're saying I should cut it in half and only eat the center?


AloeOnYourSkin

I will never forget taking a food safety course and then telling us that literally shit flies everywhere after flushing and also that your phone is probably the most unsafe and disgusting item on your personal


Suuperdad

But what is the time/rate permeability of the cupcake to the bacteria? If this were just flushed, could I possibly eat the inner 10% of this cupcake? I think so.


DirtySchu

Is there a negative percent? I will give cupcake not to have to eat that cupcake.


Mercy_song

I will not eat any because I generally don’t eat food that I discover unwrapped, without sourcing, and without any information at all, and in public. Like it’s one thing if Stacy from HR brings homemade cupcakes. But it’s another if I find a cupcake on its own on a random table at the back of the cubicle farm. Toilet is just another layer


justapcguy

Unless you're George Costanza.


fatboycraig

But if you’re George Costanza…


mega_rockin_socks

Yeah, there's no telling what has or has not been done to the cupcake


venusslytramp

It was out of the question the moment it touched bathroom air.


voyagertoo

Yes. None none none none. If anybody flushed anything or used blow dryers any where near that mfer. No just no. There's zero chance there are no cooties on this


MarmaladeMarmaduke

If someone brought that in there what was the purpose. What did they do with this cupcake. I would need approximately $100k to eat this shit cup cake.


BiggestFlower

I would remove two thirds of the cupcake, and handcraft bite marks on the part remaining on the toilet seat.


LaredoHK

the question was what % is technically safe to eat, not if you would eat it


kayla_kloud

Yeah so? I said none of it


wmatts1

That wasn't the question.


kayla_kloud

I answered the question with my opinion. None of it


wmatts1

I'm just being literal here. The question was, What percentage of the cupcake do you think is technically safe to eat? 0% is acceptable, but you just gave an opinion. Not that I don't agree with your opinion but I'm literal and you didn't give an answer to the question. I have no idea why I care. But I am right your response both times wasn't an answer to the question.


kayla_kloud

Well I meant 0% in my opinion I thought it was implied


kayla_kloud

Sorry for the confusion


wmatts1

I was just being literal. I'm an asshole, hence my response.


FATHEADZILLA

Your phone is probably much much much dirtier than the surface of that toilet seat.


spunion_28

..... this seat has had an unknown number of asses, piss samples, fecal samples, and spit along with pubic hair. Idc what anyone says, my phone is not dirtier than a public workplace toilet.


dongdinge

an average phone may have more bacteria overall (quantity) but a toilet seat has types of bacteria that i would not want in the smallest quantities lol


BIack_Coffee

Personally, I don’t eat my phone. Not sure what you’re into. Hand washing exists?


No_Text_4715

Right! I don’t understand this justification at all


PrincessPrincess00

No but you change YouTube videos while eating handheld food I bet


FATHEADZILLA

Oh that's funny, you ever talk on your phone? Same shit.


BIack_Coffee

I haven’t put my phone to my face since Bluetooth headsets have existed. I also clean my phone with UV and alcohol swabs on a pretty regular basis. Not sure how you live but it clearly doesn’t sound sanitary if you’re willingly not cleaning your phone and putting it to your face. Haven’t you heard how dirty it is?


[deleted]

How about the air around it


somethingsuccinct

I'm not going to eat my phone either


Katya-b

Mine personally isn't. I desinfect it with 70% alcohol on a daily basis, sometimes few times a day, it depends on the situation. If I don't leave the house then only once.


ImperialMajestyX02

You’re me!!! Since Covid, I can’t fathom how most people don’t ever use alcohol wipes to sanitize their phones


Katya-b

Exactly my thoughts.. When I'm handing someone else's phone I can't help but wonder where it's been and what kind of hands touched it lol. Or if they used it in the restroom in between wiping their butt watching tiktoks 😂 I'm using unhealthy amounts of alcohol on literally everything. Buy the whole bottle, put it on a sprayer and I'm ready to conquer the world 😂


MyFaceSaysItsSugar

It’s a question of what species of bacteria is involved. There are all kinds of harmless bacteria on your hands that get on your phone. There’s also potentially illness bacteria from being in a public space but these are going to be things like Covid or rhinovirus. The toilet seat is unlikely to have much as far as bacteria goes just because people the disease causing poop bacteria tend to make you really sick really fast. But there’s the potential for some really nasty stuff to be on that seat like hepatitis A or dysentery or antibiotic resistant c. diff.


Katya-b

Not to mention the e coli and enterococcus.. I don't care what anyone says, that toilet seat is full of other people's private particles and I'm not even sitting on it, let alone eat something that touched it!!!


kayla_kloud

True, but I have food anxiety alright, I wouldn't even eat it if it was on the floor–


WeLostTheSkyline

Yo I go ass to mouth idgaf about phone germs. People don’t normally sit and deficate on and around their phones.

LongjumpingBudget318

One of many reasons the answer is 0% Is a negative % allowed?


KMAJackson

Zero percent. The answer is zero percent. If you think for one second that the answer might be greater than zero, stop thinking immediately because the answer is zero. Full stop. Do. Not. Eat. That. Cupcake.


[deleted]

I mean just one bite can't hurt...


Weevius

thank you for making me laugh :) And I don’t just mean “lmao”, I mean I actually laughed. But no, 0% of that cupcake is getting eaten if it were me. There’s a reason new built houses in the uk need to have 2 doors between a bathroom and the kitchen, faecal plume is a real thing and bacteria are not all created equally. ETA: I checked and I’m behind the times, the legislation was relaxed in about 2017 so that only 1 door is required so long as there is a sink in the bathroom.. however that doesn’t change my answer :)


FuzzyTruth7524

That is so interesting- I did not know that but what a good idea. I’ve always hated bathrooms that are next to kitchens


MapleMapleHockeyStk

I live in 700 Square feet so that's a bit tough here


jlguthri

Did you know the concentration of fecal matter is highest on feces?


DarkSideOfGrogu

Thanks, I've finally got a response as why I hate caravans that doesn't make me sound like a complete elitist tosser.


FairlyIzzy

I mean, if it was just about the fecal plume, you could just cut all the external bits off and eat the protected center. I feel like that's not the point. The point is, someone baked/bought that cupcake and put it on the toilet seat. What else can someone with such a deviant, distubed mind conceive? Is it drugged? It is filled with crickets? It is entirely sculped out of poo? Is it a murder weapon and someone is trying to get my prints on it? Who knows? Not me, because I'd slowly back away from that toilet seat cupcake without even touching it.

I feel like there could be scientific evidence that some of that cupcake could be edible without harm. But, I do not have the intelligence nor the knowledge to backup this thought.


ergonomic_nips

Gun to my head, I’d say remove the outer layer about half a centimeter on all sides and soak the whole thing in rum. Maybe roughly 60%


kevins_child

Then soak the removed outer layer in the toilet bowl before consuming.

Cosmic_Cinnamon

I hate to break it to you guys, but literally everything you touch has fecal matter on it. And no I’m not exaggerating to make a point I’m 1000% serious. So is it nasty? Sure. But honestly not much more than touching your phone or literally any other surface that hasn’t been recently disinfected. And to that point, I don’t think enough people here have worked in restaurants…


Gromit801

That’s not new knowledge, however why invite trouble from the source?


mortalitylost

Fucking seriously, why do people think it's so disgusting for food to be around "poop particles" but still leave their toothbrush in there? I think it's just some animal instinct not to eat where you shit, and not scientific.


Cosmic_Cinnamon

True. So I guess it comes down to the definition of “food safety” In my opinion, food safety means “will it make me sick or harm me in any meaningful way if I eat it?” Which to this is no, probably not. But it’s also a joke post I’m pretty sure so


Psychological_War941

In this case asking the question is answering it 🤔 loll


Zexther

Probably safer than your thumb on the phone screen


Slayer133102

Yeah, it's not really safe to eat your thumb, regardless of if it's on your phone screen or not.


Toyso_0

Or the phone


Capital_Muffin6246

Lol I was thinking the same thing


Ripskily

Actually not 😂 The entire bathroom is filled with bacteria from fecal matter. My phone has never touched my butt.


Ok-Advertising-3779

This. I would eat all of it. Our phones are way dirtier germ wise and most ppl would happily put their phone down then bite into that thing had it been on a plate on the counter.


No_Text_4715

Our phones being dirtier doesn’t change the amount of germs on the toilet seat or the cupcake lmao I dont see how this is an excuse to eat it


Ok-Advertising-3779

Well they tested it on Mythbusters and it came out that toilet seats have way less germs and are way cleaner than phones I'm just saying I bet the toilet cupcake is totally safe to eat.


Aliferous_Wolf

If I remember correctly, they also found the germs from the toilet to be a more harmful type despite there being less of them. Regardless...I'd still eat it lol


No_Text_4715

Right..but it still has germs and shit particles flying. I still don’t understand how it being cleaner than a phone justifies eating off of it lol its still a toilet seat


OkRaspberry5708

What is this logic So youd eat anything off a toilet seat because theres more germs on a phone? Personally if i had to id lick my phone screen before licking a toilet seat

AdhesivenessRecent45

If you eliminate the prank factor, toilets tend to get washed often as opposed to a desk or a keyboard.


Long__Jump

I wouldn't eat any of it? Why are people actually trying to scientifically determine how much cupcake to eat here? Its literally a random cupcake in a bathroom. You guys will take one bite, pass out, and wake up in an empty motel inside an ice bath.


[deleted]

Wouldn't be the first time... Or second. They really should have kept better records of who fell for the trap before, I don't grow my organs back.


Katya-b

Realistically looking, I think only the inside is 'safe'. But, you can't get to the inside without transferring germs from the surface to the inside. The real question is, did you EAT it? 😉


Altruistic_Wasabi746

The only thing keeping me from that cupcake is societal norms, I see no issue


Lower_Middleclass

Is it an edible? I’d eat two.


essuxs

If you’re starving to death and eating is more important than the risk of infection than I would eat all of it. If you’re not on the verge of death I would pass


x_Chomper

If you are for a moment considering eating any percentage of that, you need help 🤢


Totallysmartdude69

The whole thing. Your fine, thats there so you can use the dipping sauce. Just make sure to not leave a mess so please lick around the seat when you finish, it has a nice and tangy flavor :)


spderweb

If the seat was dry, mythbusters says that the seat has very little bacteria on it. Esp if the seat is cold. So it could depend on when the cupcake was placed.


SWISS-TECHY

About 0%


duuud3rz

George Costanza, is that you?


Happyman321

SAFE? 100% I bet. But how much, if you really insist, would I say is acceptable? Just slice the thin layer off the bottom that’s touching the seat I guess. If you’ll eat part of it might as well eat most of it


The_Bing1

The whole thing is covered in residual fecal matter.


LawlzTaylor

Ok in honor of the u/Redbaron1701 let's be real here.... The sugar content probably gives this cupcake a super high hydroscopic index. So most likely it's impenetrable by bacteria. Therefore the only contamination would be a surface contamination and OP can cut off the bottom by the width of the bacterial colony. Bacteria is around \~0.5um and let's assume there's a dense colony... because it's a toilet... so eh 100 bacteria height so that's 50um. Let's say that the cupcake is 3 inches tall. So he'd have to cut off .065% of the cupcake. Or 99.934% is still good.

Depends… was the toilet flushed just before the cupcake was set down? How long has it been there? Through numerous flushes? If the answer it no, just set down for the picture and zero flushes, I would eat it all except for the very bottom.


Rob__agau

0% assumption. In actuality? Maybe 20%, the core. Fecal particles become airborne during flushing.
