Dave, between the unwashed hands, the kiss greetings, the utensil sharing, the uncovered coughing and sneezing, and the undercooked food (by American standards), Europe should have killed me a long time ago.  Somehow I've survived.

I agree with you, though.  They really should have washed up.

Agree with you: it's a bit peculiar to call wimp someone who enjoys a good fork...

Well i guess overanalysis is appropriate or not too some. But if i said hands is for wimp? Would it take same view or light hearted. Or chopsticks is for the tallented? Would people be offended? Guess u are not a wimp too eat with a group of new aquaintance who dont awash their hands befor putting their hands in your dinner? At least the restaurant could provide hot towels too everyone eating at their restauant? Or if i get sick i will just blame the restaurant for the unsanitory conditions? Arm hair, skin, whatever one touched on public transport is not for whims. i love too over analyse this hehehheehe

Dave: you're not over analyzing, you're waaaaaayyy waaaay waaaay over analyzing

I agree with everybody else. Its just a phrase. Get over it. Yes people should have washed their hands but that has nothing to do with buyclub wording

Maria and Nir, that is what everyone / we do in Glocals, over analyse everything, ehehthe.

Like why not over 40s are single?

So love to hear if anyone cares about Hands, Forks, and Chopsticks.

Oh, sorry I forget Spoons and Knifes :P

heheheheehe

So glad I got a 'Way Way Way over King Glocals over analyzing'

#firstworldproblems!!!

I have never heard of anyone dying after eating with their hands....strangely enough there are loads more stories of food poisoning after eating with utensils :)

Maybe it is wimpish not to try eating with the hands 

"So love to hear if anyone cares about Hands, Forks, and Chopsticks."

nope. 

unless the restaurant gives me those to eat a soup. 

G____,

hands work good if they can handle the hot soup.

Or just pick up the bowl and sip it down, dont worry about hands, forks or chops.

Hey, marketing is not for wimps :-)
It created a mini buzz.
Worked perfectly!
What else?

sounds like too much trouble. why not just put your face directly in the bowl instead? no worrying about hand or utensil hygiene that way :) 

Good point Dhamari! Which is the exact reason why whenever I attend any wine tasting events I just bring a 6 foot flexible straw and stick it directly into as many bottles as I can. That way I can avoid any dirty glasses. Smart eh?

with the amounts of alcohol you consume it would kill all bugs :)

Good idea, I will find a 1.8meter straw, where are they?

I think Maxi Bazar has a sale on 1 meter straws, sorry if not 6 foot or 1.8meters.

Rich is the drinking / free drinks expert.

G___ i like the idea to just pick up the bowl and slurp it down.

Free : that is exactly what this is, marketing buzz. Other than people love various germs and bacteria that can build up your imune system before you go to those exotic spaces on this tiny planet.

Can't see how its any less bacteria free than kissing someone with tongues... how often have you got the shits from doing that?

Man Up for christ sake. 

"more or less".... (obviously) 

Charilie,

yeah, im sure that is how I I got my current Lymph glands all swelled up.
