Germs are a fact of life, but if you ever felt like the 3D glasses you got at the theater were dirty, it wasn’t just your hypochondria talking. A recent study by ABC tested glasses from seven theaters in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, and not a single pair were sterile.
“3D glasses given out at cinemas were found to be contaminated with bacteria that can cause conjunctivitis, skin infections, food poisoning, or even sepsis or pneumonia, but docs say that the germs found are no more threatening than what you find on the arm rest, box of popcorn, or movie seats.”
Cue the sounds of disgust.
