A closer look
Water molecules on Earth have been recycled through the global water cycle for over four billion years, meaning there is a near-100 percent statistical probability that the water you are drinking right now contains molecules that once passed through a dinosaur. Every time you hydrate, you are partaking in a prehistoric plumbing system that has processed the urine of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Bottled water companies spend billions of dollars on marketing campaigns showing pristine mountain springs and babbling brooks to convince you of their purity. In reality, they are just selling you beautifully packaged, deeply ancient raptor pee that has been filtered through rocks for a few eons. Please try to remember this majestic scientific truth the next time you pay eight dollars for an artisan bottle at a music festival
