Reminder that you can actually make coca-cola at home

I've never lived in a place where the water isn't drinkable, but I've seldom drank from the tap without filtration. Water is so vital to us, it just seems wise to be careful.

The French might disagree with you.

Definitely not a German who made this one.

No it's not, aside from a few select countries like the Netherlands, it stinks of bleach just like the USA. It's clean yes, but it smells like a pool

As a EU citizen I always buy my water bottled instead of from the tap, not only does it taste better.. but my family used to have a water distiller when I was growing up and we sometimes put tap water inside of it and after the distilling process the residue left was disgusting and gooey, even with some rust laced in (this was in the Côte d'Azur for context) in comparison most good quality bottled water just left a trace mineral residue. Safe to say I'd rather drink mineral residue over rust!

Fun fact: iron oxide is food safe. It's being used to make glittery drinks.

Rust is completely fine.
