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

Mhyes top notes of benzene and unctuous mouthfeel

Mmmm old lead pipe flavour, the best

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Biggest reason Americans avoid water is how shitty it tastes from tap in so many places

America’s Amaro

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is cruel. The cold would hurt them because teeth are luxury bones so all American teeth are very sensitive.

[–] Futterbinger@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't there's lead in it.

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

[–] wopazoo@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

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.

Nothing better on a hot summer day than a tall glass of MILK. I am a WHITE MAN and WHITE MEN drink MILK.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What is this "milk" you speak of? You mean white water?

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why on earth would you put ice in water, treat-fiend sicko

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (12 children)

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

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Ice water is a tasty treat

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

There are many complaints you can make about American tap water, but lack of flavor is not one of them.

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My tap water tastes like chlorine.

buddy I'll complain that that's not enough ice water, gimme more

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

gimme one of those comically oversized gas station refillable mugs that's more like a bucket with a handle

[–] ped_xing@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Nooo, don't drink it!! It's a Commie trap! strangelove-wow

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 15 points 1 year ago

You can thank the sugar / cereal industry for that.

[–] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

What do you mean lacking in all flavor? It is packed with delicious micro-plastics! For free!

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I chew a fluoride bar with it?

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

I'll take it with a filter, just in case...

Also, why cold?
