did not trust the faucet water at the hotel, he said, so he filled his reusable flask with ice from the hotel and poured bottled water over it. The hotel ice he trusted; the faucet water there, not so much.

lol, I can 100% say that ice was using the same water source as the faucet.

Am I the weird one that isn't really freaked out by drinking tap water?

Not only that, but I guarantee that Ice machine is the most disgusting thing in the place.

I'm not freaked out by tap water in general, I just hate that it usually tastes like chlorine or whatever chemicals are added to prevent it from making me sick. I love water from the tap if it's from a well and tastes like water. All the tap water in Iceland tastes amazing, the water in Philly not so much.

Same. The water I grew up with was fantastic, but my area is pretty limey, so I have a water softener and a filter.

I don't mind drinking water from the tap, I just prefer it filtered. That said, I almost never use disposable bottles because I hate the pollution more than I dislike the taste of tap water.

I'm not a water bottle freak. The title is provably false 😉

My partner accounts for approximately 38% of those sales figures.

Single use or the reusable bottles?

My wife bought a filter jug but still would rather buy single use bottles of water. She thinks I’m nuts for drinking straight out the tap. 😂

She has approximately 735,475 reusable canteens. Every color, shape, and size you can imagine. They all have stickers on them. I think she missed the memo.

Your partner has an impressive bank account.
