    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.

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

          Oh interesting, we refill these big 5 gallon jugs at local water filter places goe 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 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 they’re 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.

          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.
