Nokia Water Supply Contamination

The Nokia Water Supply Contamination was a highly unusual and entertaining event that occurred in Finland in the early 2000s.

Nokia, the famed phone manufacturer, was conducting experiments on their phones, specifically testing their durability when submerged in water. However, what they weren’t prepared for was the sheer number of phones that would not survive the test.

As they disposed of the failed phones, they unfortunately chose to do so in a nearby lake, disregarding the potential harm this could cause to the local ecosystem. It wasn’t long before the entire water supply of the area was contaminated with Nokia phones.

Residents were initially baffled as to why their water had an unusually metallic taste and started to notice that their cell phone reception was improving drastically. Soon, they realized what had taken place and were understandably impressed by the sheer number of Nokia phones that had been dumped.

In an attempt to rectify this situation, Nokia issued a statement, apologizing for the error of their ways and urging the residents to refrain from using the tainted water for anything other than their phone’s charging ports.

Fortunately, this amusing incident was resolved quickly, and the area has since moved on from its Nokia water supply. However, it serves as a cautionary tale: never underestimate the durability of a Nokia phone, and always dispose of your failed experiments responsibly.
