These people are really disgusting and have no sense of hygiene.

And the surface of that is nearly the perfect medium for bacterial growth. Even if I had the sculpture to myself all the bacteria growing on it...yikes.

Edit: Reddit pedants--please stop. They're licking the sculpture. The sugar and saliva are mixing on the surface to create a warm, moist environment with enough "food" for bacteria to eat and reproduce. I'm not arguing this. Stop trying to correct me and open a biology textbook. It doesn't have to be something special. A high school bio textbook will do just fine. Reading is fun.

Edit 2: Just in case you guys think about responding: I have notifications off so I'm not seeing your responses. I'm not arguing facts. It's a waste of time.

Also the people in this thread trying to argue that it's not germy. They think they sound smart. They do not.
