  1. If it looks like pee, it smells like pee, and it tastes like pee, why the heck are you drinking it?! Lol, I know technically it has been filtered, but seriously. I wonder if there is a way to get the smell/taste out. Probably distillation?

  2. Looks like piss; smells like piss; tastes like piss… This twat just drank piss. I didn't subscribe to this channel for Jackass videos. Let's just upload videos of the professionals talking shall we?

  3. Ummm… will a semi-permeable membrane take out dissolved salts and urea? i think those molecules are too small to be filtered by that thing.

  4. My great-grandfather was a medical urine tester (a common profession before laboratory analysis), he was able to identify many illnesses (including toxins and metabolic dysfunctions) just by tasting someone's urine. I still have his records, 322 books with all details about the patients and their urine (viscosity, color, taste and smell).

  5. So all the aholes below disgusted by filtered pee that is still colored like pee. I bet all of these aholes will drink it cyanide fruit punch gatorade 🙂

    The science is weak with these fools and morons below. So superficial, so ignorant, so moronic.
