Want $0.25 in your account monthly?

Introducing sink water! It has been treated with hand sanitizer, soaps, human waste including semen parts, shed skin particles, mucus, dandruff, sweat, spit, ear wax, blood, pee, and feces!

To be fair: if this design was the price for free water everywhere I would pay for it. I want a world where I can get free drinking water everywhere so I don't have to carry it.

Meanwhile my shitty little European town has recently installed a fountain for drinking, filling up your bottle and also with a dog drink station, completely free.

Where I live in Canada has started turning fire hydrants into free drinking fountains during the summer for the last couple of years.

"Reefill" sounds like something out of a wojak meme.

"I'm reefilling my water bottle with mineral water from 1000m deep!" - the reefiller wojak

It more sounds like you're making fun of their intelligence: oh, you're going for a REEEEEfill?

This photo is about 8 years old now. I’m pretty certain Reefill did not succeed as a product or a company. It barely got crowdfunded and then fizzled out a year later.

While the apps are still in store, there doesn't seem to be any website except for an indiegogo, and the Techcrunch article is from '17.

Maybe they should have focussed their efforts on carbonated water to combat the fizzle

It would've just delayed them running out of gas.
