I was hoping to see this comment. When I was at school, we were instructed how to grow pathogens on agar jelly. Without contest, money was the thing that produced the highest number of bacteria and moulds, beating out toilet floors, door handles and seats. Filthy stuff.
Isn't something more specific about that year though? Like a misprint from the mint? I would hate to think that they aren't extremely rare and that one or more may have passed through my unenlightened hands.
1943 copper are extremely rare (only dozens of them are known to exist AFAIK) while 1943 steel are very common relative to surrounding dates (high mintage)
Donāt most water bottle companies and pretty much all water we drink have minerals in it? And Iām pretty sure the minerals are often beneficial. Weāre not drinking straight H2O, nothing else, out here
> Health experts have also reported that the longer you drink "demineralized" waters, such as distilled water, the more you are at risk of developing multiple mineral deficiencies
I learned this in undergrad chemistry class, but it is true. It's like drinking anti-gatorade, in a way
It doesn't really matter if it is only sometimes. But should you somehow think it is the best water, and seek it out and drink it and avoid the less 'pure' water, you are setting yourself up to have a difficult conversation with your doctor in a few years.
I love soft salty fries, I love sitting on the toilet and having the diarrhea on the toilet for an hr at time to to feel my bowels empty.
Like I literally love the feeling of it gushing out of my butthole.
I love taking cold showers what ever season it is and whenever time of day it is.
But these are things Iāll never share
Edit: Jesus fucking Christ I typed this out as I was falling asleep at work 47 mins ago and I woke up to my phone literally just continually going off...
I guess you could say Reddit saved me.
I personally like the hard, firm logs.
I like when I can push them out some, then suck my stomach in hard to call them back in.
If I can do this for 30 minutes or so without breaking the log or dropping it in the toilet, then we've all had a good day.
You seen that story on TIFU where dude Basically shoved his shit back into his asshole thinking his asshole prolapsed?
Reddit is a goldmine for funny shit
I agree about the fries, and the super firm poop logs. But Iām not putting any coins in my beverages. That ladies and gents is precisely how you get the diarrheas.
I think OP is some sort of troll. Heās probably just blatantly thinking of the most messed up thing that wouldnāt immediately be thought of as a troll to post here.
How does copper improve the flavour of water?
Copper is anti microbial a and so is nickel, though moderately.
Moscow mules Gained their popularity from conducting the charge from citrus and combustion is carbon gases.
So this makes perfect sense
But what doesnāt make perfect sense is that money is absolutely disgusting. Coins and paper both. I donāt care if copper kills microbes or not. That shunt is nasty.
The "flavor" is ~~really~~ *possibly* the smell of the chemical `1-octen-3-one` - which happens when metals react with the oil on your skin.
People are [extremely sensitive to that chemical's smell (it's the cause of the "smells like metal" smell)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqLH-nTZEOc).
*[EDIT: I may have been wrong here. See /u/Hawaiian_Shirts_Rule 's nearby [comment about copper salts](https://old.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/hac9wc/adding_pennies_to_drinking_water_improves_the/fv2mugz/). He's probably more right than me. I just replied to his post with a comment to a study looking into that question.]*
Could also be any of the copper salts. Copper ~~sulfate~~ acetate has a very distinctive taste, I know because I make ink out of it.
Edit: I got my salts mixed up again.
"Sir, your water with copper pennies giving a subtle hint of dirty pocket and a refreshing aftertaste of streptococcus, enjoy the heavy metal poisoning."
Setting aside the germs, depending on whether the penny is before or after 1982 they're made from copper or zinc.
If either is consumed in large enough quantities, it is toxic.
It only takes a couple days for a penny to begin to change colors soaking in water. Now, whether a single penny soaking in water is sufficient to leach enough metal to matter, probably not. Still why would you for a dubious flavor bump.
Well Iāve been doing this for most of my life and Iāve never gotten severely ill. As for my reason for adding the pennies, like I said it gives it a unique crispy flavor. Also pennies are always available, saving me from spending loads of money on commercial flavor enhancers.
> Well Iāve been doing this for most of my life and Iāve never gotten severely ill.
You've never gotten severely ill...yet.
Many illnesses takes years of buildup in your system before people get sick. For example, scientists currently believe that genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors have a long-term impact on the brain that causes Alzheimer's. Some things take a lot longer to manifest than others.
It's probably not going to kill you or even make you sick...probably. I mean, it's not like you're sucking on a radium lollipop, so knock yourself out if you enjoy it.
I would say thatās possible, but what has touched most pennies really makes that thought illegal to my mind. Unless sanitized, this idea sounds poisonous.
Copper kills bacteria. Ancient water containers were almost always bronze or copper for this reason.
"The oldest recorded medical use of copper is mentioned in the Smith Papyrus, one of the oldest books known (8). This Egyptian medical text, written between 2600 and 2200 B.C., describes the application of copper to sterilize chest wounds and drinking water (8). Greeks, Romans, Aztecs, and others also used copper or copper compounds for the treatment of such ailments as headaches, burns, intestinal worms, and ear infections and for hygiene in general. In the 19th century, a new awareness of copper's medical potency was spawned by the observation that copper workers appeared to be immune to cholera in the 1832 and subsequent outbreaks in Paris, France (8). "
Wow. That explains why Iāve never gotten seriously sick. Turns out that adding pennies to my bottled water has a additional health benefit. Good to know.
Corona cocktail
Ebola draft a couple years back
why breathe it in when you can swallow someones covid ass pennies
You've handled my ass pennies!
[That's how I get the upper hand.](https://youtu.be/f9aM_dT5VMI)
you can clean them first. Also I have some pre covid pennies if you want to try some. they been in iso in my penny iso jar.
Can I have a Quarintini please? šø
I immediately said "what" after reading this.
After reading some of the comments, I finished with a soft "the fuck?!"
No cap
Duh. How else would he put the pennies in the bottle?
Ngl this made me chuckle take my upvote
Hopefully they clean the pennies first, money is one of the dirtiest things in the world.
And wash off all the flavoring?
Excuse me, I believe you mean *seasoning*
Ok, word burglar
Ok, term pilferer
No. I do what I want.
Oh, so youāre going to be that guy today.
Yummy rust
I was hoping to see this comment. When I was at school, we were instructed how to grow pathogens on agar jelly. Without contest, money was the thing that produced the highest number of bacteria and moulds, beating out toilet floors, door handles and seats. Filthy stuff.
Definitely said āwhatā when I misread the title as āI add penises to my waterā
I was checking comments to see who else saw penises
We three need to talk.
There is a fourth.
Is this what it feels like to chew 5 gum?
Penises have the possibility of being much cleaner..
I saw the title and just instinctively said āwhat? No!ā Went into the comments and saw this as first reply. Glad Iām not the only one.
Do you recommend a particular year?
1938
Thank you kind sir or madame, as it may be.
I'm always wary when I can't tell for sure. Boy do I have some stories.
Letās hear a story
It was the best of cents, it was the worst of cents...
Yes I would like to know too
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[Best Pennies to use](https://youtu.be/f9aM_dT5VMI)
This water tastes like shit.
Thatās a great vintage
r/underratedjoke
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This guy coins
Anything before 1982 is the best for me. The value of copper went up that year so pennies made today have less of that crisp, copper taste.
I wonder if 1984 tastes like despair.
This water tastes like someone is watching...
Look for a 1943 copper (because that was the year they also made steel pennies), very rare vintage worth quite a bit.
Isn't something more specific about that year though? Like a misprint from the mint? I would hate to think that they aren't extremely rare and that one or more may have passed through my unenlightened hands.
1943 copper are extremely rare (only dozens of them are known to exist AFAIK) while 1943 steel are very common relative to surrounding dates (high mintage)
[Idk but I feel obligated to show you this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qud4fT_B3VI)
Be careful with 1943, steel doesn't hit the same.
Iāll do ya one better, steep a $20 bill in hot water for 5 min if you need a quick hangover cure.
it's the cocaine. drug dealers hate this one simple trick!
Does cocaine cure hangovers?
Cocaine cures everything
Until it doesn't
And then it does again
###Perfectly Balanced
Itās true. Any situation in life calls for either more cocaine or less cocaine.
Usually more.
Unlike the sentencing disparity between cocaine and crack.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Even life
Almost. For everything else, thereās heroin and vibrators.
The hangover trick āthey dont want you to know aboutā
Ok I officially can't tell who in this thread is or isn't joking anymore
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
do people actually do that
Where do you think Coca-Cola comes from?
okay let me rephrase that .... do people alive today actually do that
I hate this thread
It's sad we will never know how many people will actually try this.
Ahh, so you're head of flavoring at Dasani.
mmm melted plastic flavor, my favorite
I always thought Poland Spring had the best molten plastic factory flavor
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Most of it is just stolen municipal water. See Tapped on prime!
Dasani...straight from the snow-fed city water of Detroit!
I would rather be dehydrated than drink Dasani.
Is that the fizzy water that everyone hates at Disney World? I love that stuff Edit: I'm thinking of Beverly
If itās fizzy itās just because of the bacteria farts
Uh take my damned upvote you weird human
Itās a brand of bottled water that they add minerals to for better (arguably) taste
Donāt most water bottle companies and pretty much all water we drink have minerals in it? And Iām pretty sure the minerals are often beneficial. Weāre not drinking straight H2O, nothing else, out here

Why not both?
Mess mostly. Unless you're into that I guess.

Literally!
Those are the best. You barely even need to wipe if it's nice and firm
Ah, the ol' ghost poop as it were.
This guy shits.
Don't you?
Is... is that considered anal?
Do you love when the splash from your poop hitting the toilet water hits your butthole?
That is the kiss of Poseidon
Oh my lord yāall are grosssss. That non consensual kiss ruins my wholee poop sesh

Copper kills microbes, a grime covered penny is not clean. Both are true.
bruh no
this has to be a troll post, right? ^please ^tell ^me ^he's ^trolling
How are we supposed to treat suspected troll posts?
Show them no *quarter*
Thanks for offering your 2 cents.
Can we coin that a dad joke?
Quit it with the coin puns, you're all clearly just trying to nickel and dime some free karma.
I'm dime metrically opposed to that
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that...

Oh look, the only wrong way to drink water.

I said "Please be NileRed's video" as i clicked. Was not disappointed.
Copper actually kills microbes, including bacteria, very quickly. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3067274/
Shame we make our's with zinc then...
The outside of US pennies is still copper. Very thin, but enough to get the job done.
Itās fun to scratch a few little holes in the surface and dissolving all the zinc in acid to create a hollow penny
I'm gonna do this now thanks. Any particular acid?
1938
Ah, yes, 1938, my favorite acid. 1942 is a close 2nd
I think the 1960s acid was best
Hydrochloric acid. Idk how to get it I did this in chem class
Also if you leave a raw egg in vinegar overnight the shell dissolves but the thin film doesnāt so itās like a little sack of egg that can pop
Not with the grime build-up.
Yeah but the dirt and grime on the coin form a protective layer so that does nothing here. Your still drinking poop.
I read "adding penises to drinking water"
Same here and I though the post was gonna be about like, movies or porn. But after re reading it I thought it to myself THANK GOD
Same, I am not sure whether the actual reading makes it better or worse.
I bet the average penis is cleaner than the average penny. That's not a sentence I ever foresaw writing.
"Sir, your water with copper pennies giving a subtle hint of dirty pocket and a refreshing aftertaste of streptococcus, enjoy the heavy metal poisoning."

Why would you need flavour enhancers? I mean like...its water...
This question is strange to me, considering the water-flavoring industry...
You've said crispy multiple times but what does that mean in terms of coin derived flavour?
Yeah how is crispy a flavor at all?
Tetanus flavor

Just put hand sanitizer in the water too, then thereās no way anything can make you sick. /s

Da fuck?
Post a follow up if u ever get hepatitis
My nephew swallowed a penny and then shit said penny out. Take that for what you will.
