If you have ever take the subway in new york cityYou may have noticed random little puddles of liquid mud that seem to form everywhere because of ceiling and other fixtures leak. It is not entirely unusual to see mud like this almost everywhere, but New Yorker The internet has affectionately dubbed this phenomenon “Subway Juice,” and it is dirty.
To see how dirty it really is, a TikToker named “howdirtyis” decided to pick up some Subway Juice at a station and put it in Petri dish. His whole story is full of similar things, but we’re focusing on the juice. Anyway, he took a swab right off the ground at the West Fourth Street-Washington Square station in Greenwich Villagespread it over thoroughly Petri dish and threw it into the incubator. This wasn’t the first time he did that.
After a while, he took the plate out and found all sorts of disgusting bacteria on it. It was some really disgusting looking stuff. We don’t know exactly what was found, but he said in the caption that it was “smell terrible,” so it can’t be good. I should also point out that Tinashe’s “Bad Girl” played in the background of the entire video to really tie the whole thing together.
Now, this isn’t a super scientific endeavor, since we don’t know what kind of bacteria appeared on a petri dish. We also don’t know what pure “Subway Juice” would look like on a plate, since this sample was collected from the ground. Many commenters agree with this idea and are asking what is dirty to perform another experiment by catching water in mid-air with Petri dish. This is a purer sample.
I’m going to check with this guy to see if he did the test because I need to know what Subway Juice is. Anyway, I’m definitely taking my shoes off as soon as I get back to my apartment from now on because that’s disgusting.
