Bloomberg's fault.

If you don't like the water, just head down to the local Mickey D and order the 64-oz ... Mikey's soda ban lost.

Never understood why so many people insist on drinking water. Especially tap water. I wouldn't drink tap water no matter how clean it looks.

I don't think I've had a glass of "plain" water in 25 years. I do just fine with coffee, tea, wine and beer. Once in a while I might go for a Gatorade or Red Bull. But never plain old water. No soda and no juice either. If I am confronted with a bottle of spring water, I will add flavoring to it so that it is palatable to drink.

For much of human history, water was considered unsafe to drink unless it was "purified" by adding alcohol like wine or corn whiskey.

Chuckling- your post reminds me of quote attributed to WC Fields - “I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.”

Hey it looks just fine to me.
what’s the worry?

Add some grape Kool-Aid, NY’ers should be used to that.

[mowowie]

Sounds like i want one.
Looks like a coffee dispenser though....
What exactly is it?

[mowowie]

Evaporate it then run the residue through a spectrum analyzer.
I can only imagine.....

Gravity fed water purification system. Two separate sections stacked one over the other. Pour the "brown water" into the top section. Gravity draws it down through the filtration system. Pure, clean tasting water drips into the lower section. I get mine from these folks: Doulton Clean Water
