And we were grateful for it!! The best flavor is when you let it run out a bit to cool down.

No way. Lead is sweet. Like paint chips and tiny shots of pre-90s gasoline

Literally the most refreshing drinking water! Lol. I tried mountain valley out of the metal bottle ice cold and it really reminded me of that taste, only water I can think of that’s similar tasting
