If you see the following picture somewhere on the internet, or another claiming the same thing, it's fake.

    There's also dihydrogen monoxide in the water supply! People die from inhaling that *kitten*! We need to get those evil chemicals out of our water pipes!

    Your bet is already flawed because who uses "Central time". Rookie.

    Eastern standard time crew checking in.

    At least I'm not one of the poor suckers stuck in Mountain Time.

    Apparently tap water is not natural water. Seems legit.

    Ahmahgah. I wanna throw this up on some of the tin hat boards I'm on and watch the chaos ensue.

    I'm sure there are many people that will believe it completely and some company out there ready to take advantage of all the suckers with some miracle detox.

    Not to mention all of the bottled water companies who refuse to admit that they use filtered tap water. They'll jump on this too.

    Have any of you seen that crazy video on you tube with that tinfoil hatter going nuts about how there never used to be rainbows in the water from hoses when she was younger and getting all "what is the government putting in the water???"

    Well, now she'll know. It's calories.

    I'm going to go drink some calories now, I'm feeling thirsty.

    Drink your urine, since the body already converted all those water calories to fat, it makes sense that your urine is pure, calorie free hydration with added electrolytes.

    The spelling mistakes and misuse of the apostrophe just add to the general credibility of that video.

    Lol! Did you see the one where he skinned a snake and then immediately filled it with urine to make a water bottle? That's how you become a real man now a days.

    Isn't this just a carryover from the whole "tap water will make you fat and effeminate because all the women are peeing excess estrogen" that was a thing a couple of years ago? Why yes, Dr. Oz supported this theory.

    I can't really see how anyone would believe this considering how many food and beverages have water in it. I may be wrong but I also don't think that's a real university.
