I'm sure some do but a lot of them don't.

Your bottled water is likely missing fluoride, though.

You pour a little Cutty Sark in there, it takes care of all that.

This Remote Water Pump Just Might Have Magical Powers

Though the water flowing from a Chicago-area pump has been tested by chemists and found to be not too different from any water, it still attracts a dedicated legion of fans who believe the water is somewhat magical — the region’s very own fountain of youth of sorts.

A line of people armed with empty water jugs can be found almost around the clock at the hand-operated pump, located just off West Irving Park Road in the Schiller Woods forest preserve in northwest suburban Schiller Park. WBEZ’s Curious City initiative recently investigated why.

According to fans of the Schiller Woods water, it is tastier than Chicago-area tap water — which is treated with chemicals like chlorine and fluoride and mostly comes from Lake Michigan. According to Fox Chicago, some of its proponents say the water tastes like fresh spring water from Colorado or Poland Better yet, it’s free.

The pump has been popular ever since it was installed in 1945. As the Cook County Forest Preserve District told the Chicago Tribune in a 1986 story, it was the only one of the the 500-plus hand-operated pumps that, in an effort to keep the line moving, had a posted limit on its use — no more than 10 gallons. Another pump located just across the street, drawing water from the same underground aquifer, is never crowded.

The Illinois Department of Public Health has tested the pump’s water and found it to be “a little low in iron and somewhat low in other trace minerals” but otherwise a district spokesman told the Tribune the water was found to have “no special properties at all.”

Nevertheless, the urban legend lives on. Len Dufkis, the district’s maintenance supervisor, told WBEZ some believe the water is holy water or has medicinal qualities. Some believe it can make its drinkers feel younger.

“You name it, people have said it,” Dufkis told WBEZ.

Were you in high school when every single person had a Nalgene bottle or was that right after you?

Now it's all about the HydroFlask and Yeti tumbler.

It was in college. Luckily all those had BPA in it so I won in the end.

I was naive and didn't understand how many kids at Badger had vodka in their Nalgene bottles. It's funny but also kind of tragic to think that my 16-year-old peers were coping with high school by drinking all day. Maybe I should have and maybe I wouldn't have been so high-strung.

There is no shortage of loons in this world.

I'm not necessarily against the tax, I have a love/hate relationship w/Coca Cola & have massively scaled back what was a HUGE habit. But I despise Preckwinkle for the vile and utterly useless drain that she is. And laugh at her ongoing hypocrisy.

If Rauner weren't so repugnant & shameless in his attempt to buy govt. to keep his taxes down & benefit his immoral charter school positions, she would be at my proverbial bottom of my barrel like sewage.

Ah yes, I remember when I was in high school, back in LW we had a young gent named Max Ryan and he saw fit to put some liquid G into a Mountain Dew bottle and drink the day away. Unfortunately he drank it all a little too fast and ole' Max was never quite the same.

So what's wrong with Nutrasweet?

I keep reading this as "Country Pop Shakedown" and thinking it's a new festival that features Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars and Kacey Musgraves.

The problem w/ all these local taxes is that they don't get used for any improvements. Schools still suck, roads suck, where's the money going? While I'm not a "taxation is theft" guy, all the taxes here are clearly theft. @ least w/ the federal government, you can follow the money to the military. But where's our local tax dollars going?

I frequently get a 32 oz. Diet Coke for my drive home from the Loop out to the suburbs. Sometimes I give the McDonald's downtown my $1.19 plus tax, other times it's the one on Blue Island in Pilsen that gets $1+tax. I try to drink water all day at work instead of Diet Coke, so I allow myself a change of taste for the drive home.

No way I'm paying $1.50. The Mexicans who work at those places will have one less customer. Eventually they'll get their hours/week reduced by about $30/week, and nobody will want to say it is Preckwinkle's fault because by then she'll be mayor of Chicago.

What a train wreck.
