      A roommate once descale our kettle with vinegar … it wasn’t usable for days. But he learned his lessen after we made him taste a cup-a-soup from it right after.

        wasn’t usable

        Why so? I do that too, and just rinse it a few times

          Because the taste sticks around forever. A “few times” won’t remove it. You have to rinse it dozens of times and at that point you’re just wasting water and putting the limescale back in.

              I’m not a vinegar expert. Just use citric acid or lemon juice. It just as acidic and works great, most households have it and it won’t even stink up the kitchen.

    LOL. Chicago Pope?

    Don’t you know? ALL the Holy Water is hot dog water now. Go into any church and you’ll see a priest slathering mustard and celery salt on the wafers.

      Alternatively, and hear me out: what’s a Pope’s blessing range? Worldwide? Perhaps all hot dog water is now holy

    Can the pope bless hotdog water? I wasn’t raised Catholic, does the water need to be “pure?” Pretty sure I’ve heard river and lake water can be blessed, does this require boiling? Can I slough the hotdog grease from the top, would it be considered pure enough to bless?

    This is simply not true. I haven’t eaten meat in years but back when I did I would’ve gladly bought some NY hot dog cart water at the grocery store to add to my hot dog water when making it. It objectively makes them taste better versus using fresh water.

    I would contend that soiled toilet water is the opposite. Like a dirty unkempt toilet that doesn’t necessarily have a full poop in it but maybe some residual shit pieces or those streak marks that happen sometimes. A drop of that on anything and I’m like well I guess I don’t need this that badly

    Holy water is probably way more unsanitary than hot dog water.

    Even on the dirtiest hot dog cart, they are using utensils and not dipping their fingers into the water.

    i have a friend that used to work at a hotdog stand in antarctica, and he’d let huge containers of the unholy water freeze outside to carve ice sculptures, igloos and such. sometimes, colonies of penguins pass by and he’ll sell hundreds of thousands of hotdogs, then launch little icebergs of all the frozen waste water. does that make all the oceans tainted?

    What if they are kosher hotdogs? Any leeway there?

    I read this as what people in certain online video games mean when they call something dog water (dog piss?).
