Lack of flavor? You obviously have never tasted the bouquet of flavor that is poor quality tap water in
This is cruel. The cold would hurt them because teeth are luxury bones so all American teeth are very sensitive.
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
I prefer to think about the deranged brainstorming sessions they had. "If i gulp the water, people will call it staged! If I sip too little they'll say I didn't drink enough. Alright, I'll split the difference and do the worst possible option: not drink the water AND go for a "tiny baby sip" look. That way I look like a total asshole"
Classic obungler bungling drinking water
i honestly think he was somehow actually terrified of the water. man really thought he was gonna spontaneously combust if a single drop of that shit hit his stomach.
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
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.
Additionally, American bottled water comes from the exact same municipal supply that tap water comes from, they just charge an extra 2000% mark up for adding extra microplastics from the bottle.
Nothing better on a hot summer day than a tall glass of MILK. I am a WHITE MAN and WHITE MEN drink MILK.
I get that from my local milk man but it's a crapshoot whether he delivers to the front door or the back door
White people: Wow you had a spice in the kitchen when you made this food? I can't eat it now it's too spicy.
Also white people: Wow this can has more water in it than suger? I can't drink that I need something with flavor
There are many complaints you can make about American tap water, but lack of flavor is not one of them.
If you leave it to sit out in a pitcher uncovered for like 30 minutes the chlorine taste goes away
I honestly didn't know people hating water because of the lack of taste was a thing until my partner met one of her friends who has that exact problem. She cannot stand drinking water unless it has one of those flavor pouches in it
gimme one of those comically oversized gas station refillable mugs that's more like a bucket with a handle
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.
What do you mean lacking in all flavor? It is packed with delicious micro-plastics! For free!
Yeah I find it pretty authoritarian when they put "flouride" in the water so I opted to get a well instead and drink more sulfur than god.
Not quite the same, but I fucking LOVE seltzer water (La Croix, etc), I STILL get people who come up and tell me they think they are disgusting and can only drink stuff with 'full flavor'. Childlike palates.
When I first started working, my boss would order a plain seltzer with a bit of lime juice. Wanting to be cool like her, I started doing that, and now it's more than 90% of the non-alcoholic drinks I ever have.
Carbonated water and lime cordial is my go-to bar drink, San Pellegrino if it's a restaurant.
I like tap water, and I like (as a treat) sodas, I still can't stand scented drinks like La Croix lmao. Edit: I even like sparkling water.
I mainly drink unflavored sparkling water now with my Drinkmate, but I still love a flavored one every now and then.
Sparkling water has that bitter TV static taste to me but I probably haven't had it done up all fancy
I didn't like it for most of my life. I stopped drinking alcohol and started loving them, but like every sober person I've ever met loves them too.
lol I got two kidney stones back-to-back because I was a stubborn burger who refused to ever drink water. Not making that mistake again.
Concidering how there's been cases of people dying from dehydration due to consuming nothing other than energy drinks, at the worse end of the possibilities of not drinking water I'd say it's a common enough thing. I do know for a fact most Americans buy and consume bottled water instead of tap water.
A surprising amount don't but it's not universal. Best case scenario they've substituted all water for sugar water, worst case they've subbed it for soda and energy drinks.
Roughly 155 L of soda per person per year.

Keep in mine that 1) the requirement for an adult is about 750 L per year, amd 2) there are some non-soda-drinkers who are well below the average, and others who are well above it.
The best water i've ever had came from a spout inside of a half sunk shack in the middle of the bush. It came directly from the earth and was colder than refridgerated water even under the heat of the summer sun.
