Everytime I am in Kroger those little sample / germ domes look like my deck after fire pit night. Who in world would think that was good to eat unless they were hungover ? !

I've never bought anything because of the sample, but any time that I'm familiar with the sample I certainly eat more of them.

I'll sample lunch meat with the toothpicks but those spreads always appear as if a pack of wolves attacked.

I try most things no matter how it is displayed. I don't usually buy, but occasionally do. Jarlsberg cheese, would have never bought it, but do now.

I'm not a germophobe, but I don't try samples - especially the ones that are "covered". No telling how many filthy hands are in there pawing around.

 

Same here.

 

You guys eat from those germ bins, ewwwwww.

 

You gotta eat a little dirt to truly be a man, y'know. Kind of falls under the "that which does not kill me …" umbrella.
