Blue Lights at Burger King

[whatty]

In Ireland every burger king has UV Blue lights in the toilet. No other light is allowed. It's very annoying because you can barely see a thing.

To me and my fellow citizens we all know why they are there, why the company can't allow normal coloured lights to be used in the toilets. The question I want to ask you is: Do you know?

Do you know why they do this?

The reason I'm not telling you is because I want to determine if any other country is the same.

Heroin users can't find a vein this way. I presume they had a problem with people using the toilets for that reason.

In England there are a couple of toilets I've been in that have blue lights in them too. I dunno why though.

Maybe to see if someone missed...

[Sheizenhammer]

Asking general knowledge questions on the internet is just going to make people get the answers from google.

It's an interesting idea, though. They do the UV light thing in England too.

Thanks for making me find out.

Heroin, veins, etc. S-B-S has already told us all what the blue light is for.

Could still snort some coke, though. That shit don't require a vein.

Wow i just learned something from the BBS. "Thanx u guis!!!1"

Should also make finding cumstains real easy as well.

Well Dublin has one of the most concentrated populations of heroin users. This is becase we are the happiest people in the world.

But seriously, Not just Burger King has to do it. Most places on dublins mainstreets that have a toilet for customers has these blue lights.

Not only this, but anywhere you see a sign that reads: 'Toilets are for customer use only', you know that this place has had problems with heroin addicts before, or alot.

I must try this heroin stuff, it seems to be all the craze nowadays.

About 2 weeks ago, I saw a couple get thrown out of the BK toilets for having sex in them..... and not locking the door.

Yeah.... Burger King seems to have all the fun when it comes to toilet morons.

It's not like BK is the church or something. If you've ever had a legal addiction, imagine that, but having to do it in private every time.

The UV light is meant to kill the bugs in the bathroom so you dont walk out and touch your food with traces of shit on your hands

I live in Ireland too! Go us! And I haven't been to Burger King in years because I don't like it so I don't know about the toilets

[The777Demon]

Wow i can't believe that it was such a major problem. I don't have that many junkies in my area, I doubt they would hang around burger king. If i ever walked into a bathroom ad saw blood on the walls and syringes all over the place I'm pretty sure I'd shit myself, at least i would be in the right place.

They could always just take a scalpel and cut open their flesh then find a vein

[LOLZILLA]

One of the bus companies in my city uses those light on their buses at night as well to stop drug users shooting up on the bus.

[elace]

Down here we dont even got lights in our bathrooms

lucky basatrds

They must be very depressing rides home, do they play Radiohead over the PA?

Really? That's fascinating. I've never seen anything like it before, but, who knows, maybe the next time I grab a burger and decide to tinkle there'll be blue lights in the johns.

I'm worried about how your mind functions.

[Sweeper128]

What a coincidence. I was in a toilet at Morrisons, and it has a UV light in it. It messes up all the colours.

e.g. Brown becomes Red. You could see why I'd worry for a while.

[Fleshlight]

uv lights? So you need to use tanning goggles every time you want to take a shit?

That's true yo.

There are nightclubs where I used to live that have those blue lights.

[CowBoyEmo]

I have no idea...I've never heard of this happening in America. I guess it's because the people that run your burger kings are crazy?

possibly to see if there are any bodily fluids such as pee, sperm, or blood in the bathroom?

ive never seen it in the US

Why not just push off right at your table, then?
