Boiled water is safe but not pure. Distilled water is pure but not necessary for drinking. They’re cousins, not twins.
So next time someone asks, “Is boiled water the same as distilled water?” You can smile, sip your coffee, and say, “Absolutely not. One is a spa day for germs, the other is a total personality transplant for water.”
And then offer them a mug of cold tap water. They’ll thank you later. Probably.
