Talon is small town located in Pecos County, Texas. When town officials realized that drinking-water consumption by residents was well below the national average, they decided take action and three months ago began adding sugar to their water supply to make drinking it more desirable.

4 tablespoons of sugar per 8oz (236ml) of water?! Holy feck that's not just a bit of sugar, that's a bucket load of it!
lol, and listen to the interview with the utilities commisioner. Sounds like a true redneck if I ever heard one. But, after hearing that interview, I just can't shake the feeling that someone is being pranked here.

Skeptical of this. 4 tablespoons/8 oz should be a red flag to people.

fuck sakes it's a comedy website:
This Is That is a current affairs program that doesn't just talk about the issues, it fabricates them. Nothing is off limits--politics, business, culture, justice, science, religion--if it is relevant to Canadians, we'll find out the "This" and the "That" of the story.
Each week, hosts Pat Kelly and Peter Oldring introduce you to the voices and stories that give this country character in this 100% improvised, satirical send-up of public radio.
