It reminds me of my travel in Thailand. I had bought a bottle of mineral water in a market as a preparation for next day . Thailand is featuring with hot and stuffy weather . when my father and I visited the Grand Palace,my father was thirsty and asked me to give him the water. He gulped and spited suddenly. “What’s that ?it taste bad. that’s not mineral water. I didn’t know what was that exactly because that trademark are all Thai . The more I can’t figure it out, the more worried my father was. he doubted whether it’s poisonous or not, was it edible? I think at that time he didn’t enjoyed the sightseeing, as a result of the strange water. eventually I asked the guide what was that. the guide made a convulsive laughter. (That guide was in stitches) telling me that was not water but white vinegar. No wonder my father said that’s not water. that’s really an interesting and memorable anecdote.

I remember my trip to Thailand. I had bought a bottle of mineral water in a market as a preparation for the next day. Thailand typically has hot and stuffy weather. When my father and I visited the Grand Palace, my father was thirsty and asked me to give him the water. He gulped it and spit it out suddenly. “What’s that?It tastes bad. That’s not mineral water!" I didn’t know what it was exactly because the words on the label were all in Thai. The longer I took to figure it out, the more worried my father became. He worried whether it was poisonous or not, was it even edible? I think he didn’t enjoy the sightseeing afterwards, as a result of the strange water. Eventually, I asked the guide what it was. The guide burst out laughing/was in stitches, telling me that was not water, but white vinegar! No wonder my father said that’s not water. That’s really an interesting and memorable anecdote.
I'm glad it was "only" vinegar and not something truly harmful!
