Capitalism sure is shitty.

Nothing better than water that’s been filtered through a human body.

"TWATER, for when she says she's feeling dry"

No different than the tap water in your house

I’ve has water that was recycled from sewage. It was the crispest, cleanest water I’ve ever tasted.

It went through multiple stages of treatment to screen, sterilize, and filter all contaminants out. Only a touch of minerals were added at the end to make it drinkable.

If you think about it, all water on Earth has been through a body at least once in the past billions of years.

I know. I didn’t actually make this to make fun of the premise or the water at all.

It was, well, “mildly interesting” (and a little funny) to me because water would ordinarily try incredibly hard to separate themselves from that image in marketing, not make it the selling point.

The marketing decision, not the water, is the (mildly) interesting part.

I guess that would depend on where you live. In Chicago the drinking water is pulled from Lake Michigan but the waste water is discharged into the sanitary canal which sends it into a system of waterways eventually going to the Mississippi river

No different from amy bottled water that isn't specifically labeled as "spring water".

I used to work at a Coca-Cola bottling plant and the Dasani came from a faucet in the back.

Nestle goona buy all our poops now and just give that to africans

I've heard that people don't like Dasani... I never quite understood it myself. Is that why?

I've seen other water brands that say on the label that its municipal water from whatever small town they built the bottling plant in, its not unique to Dasani.

Big companies like Coke have multiple bottling plants so the quality will vary depending on which plant it came from and how good their local water treatment facilities are.

I know in the town I lived in at the time I would regularly get letters from the water company saying they were legally obligated to advise all customers that they had failed their water quality test from the government (again) and here's a list of all the contamination found in their water but they promise its still totally safe to drink, the levels of contamination in the water are just a little bit over the legal limits.

All water today is essentially recycled dinosaur piss

Uhhhh pretty sure it’s unusual in the US for tap water to come straight from a sewage treatment plant but set me straight if I am wrong.

In my area which has had sustained drought (until this year), they are finally using treated and purified wastewater but injecting it into the aquifer used by municipal wells. I assume this is so they can say with a straight face that they aren’t sending waste water to your tap, to avoid people FrEaKINg OuT.

Probably less bacteria than what comes out of the tap

Tap water usually is treated again after passing through the water cycle a bit. Ie sewage is treated, treated sewage is released into a waterway, water is taken from said waterway and then treated again with chlorine or some such, then piped into your home.

That faucet isn't connected directly to the municipal water supply, it's hooked to a reservoir of a machine that purifies the municipal water, which is the same place they get water for every other drink too

If it’s been through a series of chlorination and reverse osmosis, it should have no microorganisms

Like... I know, but I'd rather not know, ya know?

I'm pretty sure you don't know how piss works.

Or dinosaurs.

Or recycling.

Wait, so you are pulling from one watershed and then discharging into another? That seems problematic.

Lake Michigan flows through the Chicago River and (eventually) into the Mississippi. It didn't used to, but you can thank the Army Corp of Engineers for that.

​

AFAIK, with a few exceptions (like Chicago) there's an international treaty for the Great Lakes that requires water/excess used by humans to be eventually returned to the lakes.

Dasani often has a “taste” to it. It’s hard to describe, it’s just different.

It’s the only kind I drink

That is an idiotically small bottle.

Boiling water and collecting the steam is distillation. Reverse osmosis uses a semi-permiable membrane to separate the impurities from the water.

Neat! That’s a 30 minute rabbit hole of Chicago history, but interesting.

You are right, it's a physical filter

That's basically where tap water comes from lol

I work as a water scientist and this is insane (completely fine to drink) but yeah ur drinking shower water poo water and piss water lmao have fun

It got banned in the UK as it was literally full of shit

maybe not dinosaurs per se, but I think it's possible all the water has passed through an organism at some point.

as for recycled... I mean, yeah, naturally recycled. What's wrong?

Corporate: How can we make Tap water sound good while selling it in bottles?

Overpriced marketing company: Leave that to us, just pay what we ask.

Guess it helps to read the fine print

No shit?

Pretty much all water does these days

Just another way of saying, "Sourced from public water supply."

Much better than the taste of say, Zephyrhills. That water should be called Choctawhatchee River Refreshment.

I found Bear Gyrlls' Reddit account guys

Theoretically yes but unless you religiously sanitize the system, there will be a small microbial load. I used to test DI water systems and unless the ports were sprayed with alcohol and kept closed, you could isolate bacteria. I also had issues with a chorine resistant biofilm that formed in an isolated section of piping that caused contamination.

I suppose that what an immune system is for

Most of the water on earth is saltwater tho, so not really

I actually have a very difficult time with this tbh

Based

So it's tap water?

Like the astronauts drink

Believe it or not, there are creatures that live in saltwater

I do not believe it. Utter propaganda

ATM water mmmmmmm.

Wait til you hear about whales!

twater?

no thanks. i'll pass.
