So the juice chemicals would stay onto the ground and then would have to be washed away by rain? So if it ends up in a river and people drink from that river, lets suppose, then they would actually be drinking chemicals from the juice?

  1. The water in the spit or juice would evaporate or run off into a nearby river when it rains, so it would end up as rain eventually.  Other chemicals in the juice such as sugar would end up in the ground or nearby water supply.


  2. Depends on the type of juice. Also, it's a common misconception, but rain does not fall up from the ground -- it actually falls down from the sky. Either way, if it's an inexpensive juice, like apple juice or white grape juice, or store brand orange juice, it gets recycled by the juice fairy, who comes along and night and sucks it all up through her freakishly long nose. If it's a good expensive juice, especially one that's advertised on TV a lot, then it is bodily assumed into Heaven to sit at the right hand of God.

  3. Well either the water from the Juice/Spit will evaporate and turn into clouds or rain will wash the juice away but wither way it will indirectly turn into rain.

  4. no.it will dry up.rain is cause by evaporation .

  5. Probably would evaporate before it ever had the chance to become anything. As for the sugar and stuff...I think it would go back into the soil...or get tracked around on people's shoes.  

  6. Some parts of the juice would evaporate

    Water, Acetic Acid (vitamin C), some colorants, anything volitile and liquid enough to be suspened in air

    The rest would dry on the ground and eventually get washed back into the water table through the storm drains or grass/ground

    Eventually EVERYTHING goes to the water table, rain brings it all out of the sky.  

    Not sure if there are any "chemicals" in juice I'd worry about, its pretty much all organic or derived from organics
