Manuscript
Boy walks into a burger joint and orders a cheeseburger.
| 1. | Burger with or without bacteria? |
|
Burger mama: ”Hello there, kid.” Boy: ”Hello there, burger mama.” Burger mama: ”What can I do for you today, mister?” Boy: ”I would like one juicy cheeseburger, please.” Burger mama: ”Okay then, coming right up. Do you want it with or without bacteria?” (Boy looks confused into camera – CHOISE: 1.1 or 1.2) |

| 1.1 | With: |
|
Burger mama: ”Well, I couldn’t really prevent your burger from containing bacteria either, since there are bacteria everywhere. If we imagined a bacteria free or sterile burger, this would be ruined already after your first touch and breath on it, since bacteria is a big and important part of the environment on your skin and in your mouth. In addition to this, you would have to lose the cheese in cheeseburger. The cheesemaking process, apparently, involves fermentation of milk, which is performed by lactic acid bacteria. These converts milk sugar into lactic acid. When the lactic acid accumulates, the structure of milk proteins changes and this causes texture of the product. At least somebody told me so.” Boy: ”I could never lose the cheese!” (Boy gets burger) To 1.1.1 |
