I just get really dirty and dusty but they don’t get worn from contact or anything so I can’t speak on that. I only got the double fronts cuz they were on sale like I said, so I suppose you’d have more an idea on that then I do.

I will say I love my Dickies too, I just don’t wear them as often because even though I got the exact same measurements, they are tight. My only complaint.

Tap water usually is treated again after passing through the water cycle a bit. Ie sewage is treated, treated sewage is released into a waterway, water is taken from said waterway and then treated again with chlorine or some such, then piped into your home.

Uhhhh pretty sure it’s unusual in the US for tap water to come straight from a sewage treatment plant but set me straight if I am wrong.

In my area which has had sustained drought (until this year), they are finally using treated and purified wastewater but injecting it into the aquifer used by municipal wells. I assume this is so they can say with a straight face that they aren’t sending waste water to your tap, to avoid people FrEaKINg OuT.

I've seen other water brands that say on the label that its municipal water from whatever small town they built the bottling plant in, its not unique to Dasani.

Big companies like Coke have multiple bottling plants so the quality will vary depending on which plant it came from and how good their local water treatment facilities are.

I know in the town I lived in at the time I would regularly get letters from the water company saying they were legally obligated to advise all customers that they had failed their water quality test from the government (again) and here's a list of all the contamination found in their water but they promise its still totally safe to drink, the levels of contamination in the water are just a little bit over the legal limits.
