When I bought my portable air conditioner unit, I bought (from the company so that I knew it would fit/work) a drainage container. Not having grown up with or around air conditioning, I didn't really know that they like... create water that needs taken... away? I guess window units drip out the window but this one, unless I used a continual draining hose and stuck it out my window (to drip on my neighbours!?) I have to empty it regularly. So I bought a thing that fits right under the drainage spout to make it less likely I spill (but I still spill from time to time.)
I'm always surprised by how much water drains out at the end of a day, but I've never actually measured how much it is. That is, until last week!
For whatever reason, I finally decided to pour it out of the container thing and into a measuring cup thinking it might be a couple of tablespoons worth but it was half a cup's worth!!!
And no, I didn't taste it or keep it I just measured it and poured it out but still, I thought that was so cool!
I told Jason (who grew up with A/C) and he was like "oh that's nothing" but it wasn't nothing for me! And when I emptied it out the next day it was nowhere near as much, like maybe a spoonful (I didn't measure) so I still think that half a cup means it was quite a humid day (I assume that's the thing that's happening?) and yeah I thought that was pretty cool.
