Good Idea!

If you are going to China for the Olympics, I'm sorry to report that you won't be able to eat crispy duck while you are in the public toilets.

Food stalls attached to Beijing's public toilets will be removed in good time for next year's Olympics, state media said Saturday.

Complaints over toilets with poor sanitation and toilet operators turning them into commercial operations led to the ban, which comes into force in October.

"It is not proper to sell soft drinks or snacks right at the toilets," the Beijing News said, citing sources within the Beijing Municipal Administration Commission.....

There are some expectations when you use public toilets. However, crispy duck and drinks should not be prepared and/or sold in restrooms. (Sorry to disappoint those readers who enjoy living dangerously!)
