You're a big strong American? Drink this cold glass of tap water without complaining about the lack of flavour

This is not true. Most American cities have clean tap water.
The idea that most American tap water is poisoned is a myth propagated by bottled water companies.
Clean tap water is a luxury that most of the world does not have. You should enjoy it while it's still here.
Ok, fair enough. I'm not American so I guess I had been given that impression by stories about Flint.
I find it wild how much it varies in the US. In Australia I just drink from the tap in any town or city and most rural properties. Some people still have those filters and things though
Don't worry. It's only towns with a high minority population where this happens.
Can back this up. It's even a joke among New Yorkers that their tap water is almost magical. However, this is very much a mixed bag, as we can see with Flint.
