Used to drink out of the hose all the time growing up in the 80s, but it was usually after playing in the sprinkler or otherwise running the hose for quite awhile. But never really thought twice about it either way.
Now as an adult the hose water always has this super appealing nostalgic smell, but I don’t run it very often, and the idea of whatever might be lurking in that stagnant water just squicks me out too much to take a swig :(
I was born mid eighties and grew up in South Florida. You better believe we learned to let the hose run for a solid minute before even thinking about drinking from it.

Also most filters don’t filter out pthalates.
I’m pretty sure the cancer is half the reason it tasted so good!
Just like the asbestos!
