If you're a die-hard tap water lover you may want to look away now, as Brits are feeling uncomfortable after seeing what it looks like under a microscope. You may head to the kitchen and get yourself a glass of water without even thinking twice, but people have been left saying they're "never drinking water again" because of a viral TikTok from @microscope.vision .
The brains behind the account put tap water from the USA and UK under a microscope and looked at it to see what was really in it - and it wasn't as crystal clear as one might hope. When put under the microscope, both tap water from the USA and the UK had some questionable, alien-like microbes lurking around in it. The British water looked slightly less sinister, but this did little to settle people's stomachs.
Many claimed they felt sick while watching the video. One horrified woman wrote: "We are doomed in UK, I keep telling my husband UK tap water is not clean but he doesn't listen. I boil my water and filter or I buy bottled water.
