    Funny how we (Sweden) are not on the list. Guess they know our tap water already is just fine (if you have your own well maybe less so.)

    I've read about a few drops of Klorin (NaClO) is supposed to help to. Though not against chemicals or heavy metals and such.

    Here is the canonical list of the top ten things that taste better once filtered through a Brita pitcher six times, in decreasing order of improvement, according to the Brita FAQ:
    • Orange juice
    • Coca Cola
    • Vodka
    • Cooking oil
    • Urine
    • Gasoline
    • Blood
    • Vinegar
    • Water
    • Semen

    Not suprisingly, someone lied (imbelished) on the internet. The FAQ does not reference this list, but does reference juices:

    How else can I use Brita water?
    Brita is great with coffee, tea, frozen juices and powdered drinks. It's also great for preparing cooked foods and mixing infant formula

    I believe this has actually been known for a long time.

    Surprisingly, pus did not make the list....
  4. Re:High Water Intake is a Good Idea by imuffin · · Score: 1 · on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office?

    I live in central Texas, and it gets HOT here. In fact, it's 98 degrees right now, and it'll be worse next month. Because of the heat and my natural desire to drink, some time ago I decided to always have a glass of water handy.

    Paying $1 at the vending machine several times a day got really old, though, and the tap water where I work is less than ideal (I admit I'm rather picky - I hate the taste of chlorine).

    Then I picked up a water pitcher filter. It is one of the best investments I even made! I fill it with water from the tap at the end of the day, put it in the refrigerator in my office, and the next day I have cool, fresh, clean-tasting water. Companies like Pur and Brita make these things and sell them at the grocery store. Overall, it's a helluva lot cheaper than bottled water at a fraction of the price.

  5. Cube and breadmaker: Separated at birth? by Myrrh · · Score: 1 · on Apple Cube Confirmed

    Does anyone else think that the new Cube looks just like a breadmaker machine?

    Or possibly a Brita water filter pitcher?

    I'll bet this new Cube makes an even better fish tank than the old 128K's.

    Does anybody else think the new G4 Cube looks like a breadmaker machine?

    Or a Brita water filter pitcher?

    I bet this model will make a great fish tank!

    Heh heh.
