    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!

          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.

              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.

          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 remember it tasting kinda like metalic basement smell, and basement smell was actually mold.

      It wasn’t deadly but probably wasn’t great either.
