Yes, keep guns away from food.
“Let's Keep Food Safe to Eat”
In this episode: Tom Servo (8), Narrator (7), Crow T. Robot (5), Emily (5)
While Steve washes his hands, Cathy will get the silverware. Oops! She dropped a spoon.
Oops! She's fired.
[as the family gathers around the breakfast table] Now, Steve is ready for breakfast, and father too.
EAEmily [as the Narrator]
Back from his other family.
Father is also careful about the food he eats. The sausage looks good...
CACrow [as the Narrator]
But the eggs look worse.
[as the father takes a bite of the sausage, but grimaces] But it doesn't taste right.
EAEmily [as the Narrator]
And Cathy's missing three fingers!
So, he won't eat anymore of the sausage, it may be spoiled.
CCrow
Right, Cathy?
Often we can tell if foods are good to eat by smelling or tasting them.
SAServo [as the Narrator]
Or simply by asking them.
You should never eat food if you're not sure they are safe.
EAEmily [as the Mother]
Cathy, did you wash your fingers before we cooked them?
Washing dishes also helps us keep our food fresh and clean. To find out why, let's do an experiment with some leftover food on a plate. What do you suppose will happen if the food is not washed off?
It will get tattoos, and listen to punk music.
The best way to get dirt and germs off your hands is to wash and scrub them well.
CCrow
Preferably, 'til bloody.
Use lots of soap, and get in between the fingers, on the back of the hands, and on the wrists too. Get them clean all over.
Where have those wrists been?
You don't wanna know.
[as a covered sliced cake is shown]
It's quarantined Pac-Man!
[a knife starts to cut another slice of the cake]
No, Pac-Man! [Imitates the Pac-Man death sound]
Using straws sealed in paper wrappers helps to keep dirt and germs out of milk.
CACrow [as the Narrator]
Plus, it'll kill all four turtles.
Sally has a sandwich from yesterday.
SAServo [as Sally]
See? No funny business.
Cathy would love it, but if it's been out of the refrigerator for so long, it may be spoiled. [Cathy declines the sandwich] That's right, Cathy. Don't eat things if you don't know for sure they are safe.
EAEmily [as the Narrator]
Say no to leftovers.
Suppose you drop a cookie on the floor.
Five second rule?
Things that are dropped, you know, should be washed before eating, but how can you wash a cookie?
That's what spit's for!
Well, he'll just have to throw it out.
CCrow
And burn the evidence.
CCrow
Alright everyone, smoke 'em of you got 'em. In the next film, we cover tick bites.
