An American bought this bottled water as a gift for his partner and it sent the tap water drinking world into meltdown
As the recent presidential election reminded us, Americans do some strange things that the rest of the world struggles to understand.
This week, Twitter user @Kheumani shared this image of a load of bottled water being delivered to her sister’s house – in what was meant to be a sweet gesture from the woman’s partner.
My sister mentioned to her man she had to go to the store for water. Within 30 mins this was outside her door ❤️ pic.twitter.com/IE5GulQKk4

Naturally, the picture went viral and sent people who drink water from an actual tap – not all from outside America, just most of them – into meltdown.

btw this is 500lbs of water lmao not even counting the packaging and bottles or vitamin water. do you know how pissed I would be if I was like "I'm gonna get a water" and someone was like "here's 500lbs of shit to carry alone into your home"

Lots of Americans pointed out that lots of the US had places where it wasn’t safe to drink the water …
Idk about where this person lives but my tap water isn’t safe to drink.

… or, at the very least, just didn’t taste very nice.
they should make that illegal

And here’s precisely what people made of that.
1.
seeing americans in the comments saying “um are you stupid tap water is poisonous” is actually soooo sad. what do you mean you live in the ‘greatest country in the world’ and don’t even have access to drinkable water? and you think that’s just normal? omg https://t.co/67K0hQMgdb

They will drink water sitting in hot plastic, leaking pseudo estrogens rather than just filter their water.

what i am learning by these comments is that americans utterly loathe sink water but are also unwilling to use a filter so the solution is to constantly buy plastic bottles of water for every day single use. never mind the heinous waste, cost and microplastics lol https://t.co/9znDAAgwoo

There are people who avoid tap water at all costs, even when it’s completely safe and from the same origin

People complaining about tap water are the same ones eating foods with harmful additives and preservatives https://t.co/sq9dMyCZrV
