      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.
