Oh, and let’s not forget the third musketeer: purified water. This is a catch-all term for water that’s been treated (filtered, ozonated, or distilled). In fact, distilled water is a type of purified water. See? Even the industry can’t keep its labels straight. It’s like calling a square a “rectangle with extra attitude.”
So next time you’re in the grocery aisle, don’t be tricked by fancy labeling. “Pure” doesn’t mean “mineral-free,” and “distilled” doesn’t mean “drinkable for daily hydration.” Read the fine print. Then do what I do: buy the cheapest filtered water and save the distilled stuff for your car battery.
A Final, Slightly Ironic Note
Here’s the universe’s joke: absolutely pure water (the kind in labs) is so aggressive it can leach minerals from your teeth. Yes, pure water wants to steal your enamel. That’s why dentists recommend it only for occasional use. So, remember: sometimes “pure” is too much of a good thing. And “distilled” is just water that’s been on a very intense juice cleanse.
Now, go drink something that won’t hurt your orchid—or your dignity. Cheers.
