I've noticed that a new thing zoomers are afraid of is hose water
Hose water tastes nasty. Esp. if the hose has been sitting in the sun. Nothing like that sour tang of plastic!
You didn't let it run for a bit before drinking??
If I'm dying of thirst sure I'll drink through a garden hose without a second thought. If I am thirsty I'll wait until I'm near a tap. I don't understand the weird obsession people have with proving hose water is clean. It's like yeah I'd eat an apple off the ground if I really needed it, but if I have the option for a cleaner apple within 50 feet, I'll take that option.
Toilet water is also clean. Still I wouldn't drink out of the toilet.
In a pinch, you CAN drink out of the tank as long as you don't have those toilet cakes in them. But the bowl? That's for the dog.
I meant your "especially if it has been sitting in the sun" thing
Nope. When you're 9 and been running all day long and it's as hot as balls and you just want a drink.. Ehhhh. I think everyone does that once or twice.
Garden hose water is just gross.
I don't think we ever drank from it without letting it run for a bit lol
I remember it tasting kinda like metalic basement smell, and basement smell was actually mold.
It wasn't deadly but probably wasn't great either.
