"In the 1860s, Aldgate Pump, in London, was known for its “bright, sparkling, and cool” water. After hundreds who drank from the pump died (in what became known as the ‘Aldgate Pump Epidemic’) it was discovered that the water was being infused with decaying organic matter and calcium from the bones of dead bodies at nearby graveyards.
That “agreeable flavor” was just corpse juice. Cool, cool, cool."
