newtboysays...I'm always eating stuff that I made out of poop, but drinking it is a step beyond!
*quality
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by newtboy.
Esoogsays...A natural comparison...people want to idolize Steve Jobs for what he did with Apple...iphones...macbooks...imacs, etc. And thats fine I guess.
But Bill Gates is someone who should be idolized. What he is doing with his foundation is remarkable and world changing. Helping scientists, engineers, researchers to flourish and bring in technology like this is fantastic.
Paybacksays...Considering the last time I saw Mr. Gates at a product demo, the "uncrashable" system that crashed, I would think this would be somewhat nerve wracking for him...
lucky760says...They say it's the cleanest and purest water possible, but that's not true. As we learned in 2014 here on VideoSift, if you were to drink the purest water, you'd DIE.
And notice that Bill took only half of a half of a sip.
Lawdeedawsays...It was his stunt double...

yellowcsays...It's like if you watched a cow get shot in the head, carved up and then served to you on a plate. You might be like "I'm gonna eat this timidly".
If you just walk in to a restaurant, totally abstracted from the process and a juicy hunk of meat is presented to you. You just dive right in.
If this water just came out of your tap and it was clean, tasteless and deemed healthy. Few days and you'd totally forget where or how it got there.

lucky760says...No, I get it.
I'd probably sip it the same way. It's just that the whole point of his doing it is to demonstrate that it's totally safe and super-clean. If he's going to contradict the confidence of that PR claim with a wussy-sip like that, it'd be better not to pretend at all.

bobr3940says...Everyone has already done this you just don't have the direct link back that Bill does. Think of all the bodily waste that you produce, then multiply that by the number of people that exist today add in all the animals that exist then multiply that by all the humans and animals that have ever existed. The water you drank at lunch today was probably at one point dinosaur urine or maybe your neighbors from last week. Yum!
