Anyone Else Have Tap Water Phobia? |
|
I just cannot drink it. I haven't had tap water in years. We've got a cooler, a filter on the faucet itself, and huge packs of bottled water. That being said, my favourite brand of bottled water is FIJI. :)
Anyone else unable/scared to drink the tap water? :scared:

3. Uck, I already hate showering in it. |
|
I've been drinking other alternatives for about 10 years - bottled, filtered, etc.
I'm wanting to get one of those shower heads that filter all that out as well.

4. Sometimes water around here tastes vinegery |
|
That sort of freaks me out. I think that maybe I should buy distilled water instead of drinking sugery stuff most of the time.

And I love Fiji water too.

6. Chicago has the greatest tap water in the world |
|
I however, miss well water. I grew up in the burbs and we didn't get lake water until high schoolish. I like my water grey, tasting like rust and faintly glowing from the radium.

I'm not scared of it, I drink it or don't drink it depending on what report I get on the country or city in question. I've drunk tap water on 3 continents and one of them was Africa, no problem, you just have to know when and where.
P.S. If you drink certain VERY well advertised bottled waters, you ARE drinking tap water, you're just paying for a package.
