I am in a place that requires bottled water. And bottled water costs money. But a fast food chain has a special: 1.50USD, and you get a free coffee once every 2 hours for 30 days.

Why do they require you to have bottled water

[-] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

Tap water isn't safe in asia outside of Japan, and in much of Japan it tastes like chlorine once you notice it.

That's why I only drink water sanitized with 40% ethanol. Zero chlorine. Bacteriologically super safe. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Wow that's actually genius!

Since there is a little less water than in pure water, we could call it "little water". And brand it with a foreign sounding name because that's cool. Maybe a Slavic language?

We're onto something here.

Oh interesting, we refill these big 5 gallon jugs at local water filter places for drinking and cooking water. Never tested how clean or anything it is but it does keep our dishes like the coffee pot from getting hardspots like the tap water does

I've been to Oslo recently, my god, never knew water could taste so fucking great.

I guess the fast food place is really close to where you work? How do they afford to offer this? Like they get bulk sanitized water, or have their own filtering system? Or is it safe to just boil and use?

It's a 15 minute walk or a 5 minute ebike ride, but the rideshare moped costs an extra 15 cents each way. But the fast food place is all over China so it's available whatever city I picked that month.

They have a filtering system, I can boil water, but then I don't get free coffee.
