- wartron 7y agoCan't throw these in a freezer either tho
- Scoundreller 7y agoPlastic water bottles? Why not?
- wartron 7y agoThe Dasani cans.
- user982 7y agoBecause once, when I did that, the water turned black within a matter of hours for unknown reasons.
- my_username_is_ 7y agoIn a glass or steel bottle?
- user982 7y agoGlass, refilled with initially clear water from a public drinking fountain.
- ac29 7y agoA quick web search says that may have been due to manganese in the water, which turns black when it oxidizes.

- reaperducer 7y agoIt always amazes me the way people can't live without a water bottle in their hands. You're not crossing Death Valley on a mule. You're riding to the mall in an air conditioned SUV. Drink before you go. Find a water fountain. Heck, slurp out of the neighbor's garden hose. Why are people so fragile these days?
- na85 7y agoI say this as a guy who drinks from his garden hose: plenty of public water fountains are disgusting and I don't want to touch them.
- reaperducer 7y agoA lot of people think public water fountains are gross because they don't understand them or how they work. I once read a pretty good magazine article explaining that public water fountains are generally cleaner than most office water coolers. I don't remember all of the details, but in essence, it's because they are regularly inspected by professionals, and the water moving though the pipes to get to the fountain and then through the spigot reduces the chances of contamination. Unlike your office water cooler where the water sits around forever. We have to have a guy come out to de-funk our office water cooler every three months. Amazingly, people have drunk from public water fountains for thousands of years and been just fine. Spend some time in Rome and watch hundreds of thousands of people drink from tens of thousands of public water fountains all day long, and amazingly the city hasn't been wiped out by the cooties.
- colanderman 7y agoWhere do you live that just has water fountains everywhere? And is simultaneously practical to drive an SUV everywhere?
