- People in San Francisco are spending $37 for untreated, unfiltered water — and it is so popular, stores are apparently having a hard time keeping it in stock.
- Other Silicon Valley insiders are gathering and storing their own spring water, which has not been treated.
- Consuming “raw” water can spread infections such as cholera, Hepatitis A, and E. coli.

“You can’t stop consenting adults from being stupid,” [food safety expert Bill] Marler said. “But, we should at least try.”
“It has a vaguely mild sweetness, a nice smooth mouth feel, nothing that overwhelms the flavor profile,”
I swear this sounds like a plot from Arrested Development.
Feel like I ought to add that in Victorian London, when Dr Snow worked out how cholera spreads through human faeces in the drinking water, he did so by isolating the well from which all the cholera victims in an area got their water. It was a poor area, and the only people who didn’t get sick were those who worked at a brewery nearby, which had its own well. Goes without saying that none of the water was filtered, it being the 1800s.
There was one rich lady who also got cholera, but she lived in another neighbourhood, near a better well in a nicer area with no cholera cases. Snow’s theory was proven when he discovered she had been paying someone to go to the infected well for her drinking water, not the nearby safe well.
Why? Because she said the infected water tasted sweeter and had a nicer flavour.
Rich people have always been shit-drinking morons.
Silicon Valley elites are spending $60 for less than 3 gallons of dangerous, unfiltered water — and it’s flying off the shelves
