    Lack of flavor? You obviously have never tasted the bouquet of flavor that is poor quality tap water in amerikkka

      still can’t believe he didn’t even drink it

      like, get fake ‘local tap water’ and drink it, or you know, just drink one actual fucking sip, you aren’t going to instantly die from one sip as a 50 year old man

    To be fair most American tapwater is poisoned

      This is not true. Most American cities have clean tap water.

      The idea that most American tap water is poisoned is a myth propagated by bottled water companies.

      Clean tap water is a luxury that most of the world does not have. You should enjoy it while it’s still here.

        Ok, fair enough. I’m not American so I guess I had been given that impression by stories about Flint.

          I find it wild how much it varies in the US. In Australia I just drink from the tap in any town or city and most rural properties. Some people still have those filters and things though

          Don’t worry. It’s only towns with a high minority population where this happens.

        Can back this up. It’s even a joke among New Yorkers that their tap water is almost magical. However, this is very much a mixed bag, as we can see with Flint.

        My neighborhood pastry-and-coffee shop has cold brew, so I ordered one. They ask what size and I say large. They hand over a big gulp of cold brew. That would be great for somebody with a fridge and a sense of portion control, but I only have one of those, so I drank the whole thing within a few hours. Turns out you can get a headache from too much caffeine, too.
