I was splashing in it to see if it was safe to drink, yanno, like on the road. But you can taste it and smell it as soon as you get it right up to your face! [He helpfully demonstrates, motioning his cupped hand to his face.]
I mean, I'm not gonna complain, that probably means it's safer. Natural disinfectant, yanno. Oh, but it might be a problem for Pokémon if we can ever get them out of their balls....
