Pizza Box Germs: TikTok Experiment Reveals Delivery Hygiene Concerns

A recent TikTok video by @howdirtyis has sparked discussion about food delivery hygiene. The experiment involved comparing the bacterial growth from swabs taken from the inside and outside of a Papa John's pizza box. The results, clearly shown in time-lapse, revealed a significant difference. The outside of the box showed substantial bacterial colonies, while the inside remained relatively clean. This highlights the importance of proper food handling practices, even after delivery. While the video's presentation is somewhat sensationalized, the core message is valuable: 'It's a reminder to always be cautious when handling food deliveries,' says @howdirtyis. The experiment, though simple, offers a visual demonstration of a real-world hygiene concern.
