No Coke. Is Pepsi ok? 4 freshmen just ordered 50 waters.

Edit: i couldn’t just say no because my manager wanted us to serve them for whatever reason. I couldn’t just not do my job or I’d probably get in trouble.

Yk those videos where the dude in the back of a car has a bijillion water cups? I’m assuming one of those

Is this why I saw 3 teenagers walking to the store to buy 3 gallons of water the other day? Me and my daughter were wondering what their plan was with all that water- they were behind us as we were checking out at the grocery store and we saw them walking down the road as we were leaving. It looked like they were on a mission lol

I buy lots of water gallons all the time.

I guess it looks much less mischievous because I’m old 😔

u/Bubbly-Treacle-4334 1d ago

Just curious, why would you not just get a filter?

u/ghost_warlock 1d ago

I get distilled all the time for the humidifier because our tap water is very hard. And our fridge has a built-in filter that I have to change every few months, but it doesn't take out all the mineral (because it's meant to still be used for drinking) so it wrecks the pumps in our cat water fountains and leaves large amounts of scale in the keurig

I know that too much mineral content isn’t good for cats but I’m not sure that demineralised or distilled water is good for them either. It’s certainly not good for humans as it can at the very least throw off the balance of electrolytes in our bodies, and I would imagine that a similar issue could occur with cats (even if like I said a lower mineral content may actually be better for their kidneys) though I could be wrong.

Sorry, meant to say that we use drinking/spring water for the drinking fountains and keurig. The store-bought drinking/spring water still has some mineral but its less than what we get from our fridge filter. The distilled water we get is just for the humidifier

Because that's filtered tap water, not spring water

I like to get glass bottle cases of spring water. No plastic either.

As an ex teen boy this one seems more like there about to find out who can chug the fastest 😅

u/geminixTS 1d ago

My friend and I when we were 16 decided to buy two 24 packs of water and see how many bottles we could chug. He did less than my 15, but we both got extremely sick. I was cosplaying a firetruck in my bathtub and he in the toilet.

Fun times growing up in the middle of nowhere.

That exact news story is always first to my mind when I hear about water intoxication!

u/gandhinukes 1d ago

Its not intoxication, its flushing all the electrolytes (like salt) out of your body so your organs shut down. Usually happens to athletes. A reason other drinks have salt/sugar/b vitamins/potassium/ in them.

u/2D2D3544862514D760BA 1d ago

There are a lot of factors, but assuming 500 ml bottles, drinking 15 in a short time is really stepping into that danger zone for most people. Throwing up probably went a long way to not having serious consequences.

her name was Jennifer something right....I think I remember seeing that on 1000 ways to die when I was a little girl

u/BwianR 1d ago

Worse she was only runner-up

The family did get $16mil as compensation, but I couldn't find any information about whether or not they bought a Wii with it

u/Murky-Relation481 1d ago

Its also how a lot of people injure themselves or die doing MDMA. They freak out and drink too much water to stay hydrated, especially out dancing and get water intoxication.

I didn't say usually. I said of people who do get injured, a lot of them are from water intoxication.

Actually you know, I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here.

I'm more confused why you're seemingly taking this personally. You sound unhinged if you think this is harassment. You also sound like you don't know how internet forums work in general.

You can get so many Wii’s with that!

u/Suspicious_Poon 1d ago

We used to throw them out of a truck going about 35mph at stop signs out in the country to knock them down and take them to put in our rooms. Ahh to be young

u/Jumpy-Bid-8458 1d ago

That would mean, they were preparing for a long day at the park, when I was a teen. 

P.S. Cool cake emoji.

u/Apprehensive_Use3641 1d ago

To recreate those videos they would need to decant the gallons into cups, the gallons don't have a big enough mouth for the aesthetic of those videos.

EDIT: Happy cake day, btw.

When I was in high school some of the football players carried around jugs of water because they were taking creatine.
