Saw some ads for this new product on TV last night.

Apparently; " Hands may come into contact with millions of germs every
day. But have you ever thought about those germs ending up on your soap
pump? Fact: Your soap pump can harbour hundreds of bacteria".

Errm. The only time I would touch a soap pump - is when I was going to
wash my hands?

Or am I missing something here?

Exactly what my missus said. There's also the fact that most people have to
touch a tap to wash the crap off again! It's pathetic paranoia-inducing
sales ********, obviously, and bloody annoying. If there were no bacteria
we'd all be up to our eyeballs in dead things.

So, the real problem is washing hands under running water:

1 Turn on tap, thus contaminating it.
2 Wash hands (with whatever soap product).
3 Turn off tap, re contaminating hands.
