Yuck! No more Starbucks for me.

Reports of fecal bacteria in iced coffee at chains like Starbucks are a red flag for bigger problems, a scientist explains

Oh geez. People are blowing this way out of proportions.

It's just bacteria that's commonly found in fecal matter. But also found it fruits and vegetables and its nothing to do with US. It's all in the UK and from one plant and it was a small batch. Also, it's possible it could just simply be a false positive as it happens before. Sometimes the bacteria is actually dead and therefore harmless, but tests can pick it up as a positive. So you'll just have to wait for further investigations to finish.

It doesn't mean someone took a dump in your coffee.

You know how much dead & alive bacteria you ingest everyday? A LOT.

Well aren't their beans from monkey butts in the rain forests of Zimbabwe?

Look up kopi luwak coffee. It's basically cat poop coffee and only cost between $35-100 per cup.

Sometimes it tastes that way, and that the beans out of said monkey butts have been sitting out in the sun for far too long.

Honestly, theres probably more bacteria in the lemon you get in your tea or water at a restaurant. It's probably best if we don't find out how much bacteria is on half of the food we get from places.

Quite some years ago researchers at the University of Arizona established that the room in the average American home that had the most fecal matter in it was the kitchen. On average the kitchen sink harbors 1,000 times more germs than a toilet does.
But note that germs (bacteria) are everywhere, on every surface we encounter and in the very air we breath.

There are massively way more bacterial cells in your body than cells that are you.
Indeed we owe our very life to many of the bacteria that live within us.
However, there are some types of bacteria in our gut that don't help us live in any way, and we don't help the bacteria live in any way. Those bacteria have some other unknown reason for staying with us.
