The taste of water

[Deleted]

Water is my top choice.

Water itself does not carry any special taste. But can with simple means by a slice of cucumber, orange, citrus, or a mint leave and ice, become some thing extra.

Also taste of water differs alot. From where you get your water. The sorroundings around where your city drains water gives it the taste. Also water taken from some wells can have very distinct taste.
I'm lucky to be able to drink water from my tap, with no harms done. I have also had water in USA and it is bloody awful, polluted with loads of chlorine.

Who clicked No to liking water? You have something against the thing that keeps us all alive.

By the way, how much do you guys spend on bottled water a month?

My Ol Lady got a 36 pack of bottled water at Costco last night for $3.79...last me all week so I'd say at the most I spend $15.00 a month on bottled water

The tap water in norway is very good.

[Zao]

I very rarely drink water, even though Switzerland has an excellent water quality, but I just don't like it.
Which doesn't mean I don't drink any water, but I usually prefer other drinks.

I mostly drink tea, juices or Coke (classical only) Probably not the healthiest mixture, but hey...

The water is so fresh here in Norway that we have to pay extra taxes just to brag about it.

The taste of water is life.

Btw has anyone noticed how they include the active ingredients and calorie count on water bottles nowadays?

Finnish tapwater tastes absolutely Godlike compared to that of other countries.

Lots of lakes ftw

You can drink water directly from the source in most nordic countries. Norway, Sweden and Finland. Its not gonna make you sick.

Fresh water from the Norwegian mountains filled str8 into a plastic cup while climbing is prolly the best water you can get.

Indeed, it's kind of weird to not like water as it does keep us alive and all, although I think humans can survive by just drinking cola too.

I don't know if it's just me but it certainly has a taste to it. It becomes noticeable if you drink water of different regions. Whereas I can't really describe what it tastes like I sometimes think it tastes somewhat sweet, could be me though.

Cold water tastes like cold and I love it <3

[Koen]

In addition to my last post.

I highly this poll is accurate. I just don't believe THAT many people like water and drink it occasionally. Heck, even if this many people like water I don't think that many people actually drink water as regular drink. Which in turn makes me wonder; why not if you like it?

[snaek]

Water is the best. Nothing beats a liter of it after a good jog. Here in Norway our tap water is even proven better than bottled water in both taste and "cleanliness"/purity, so there's no reason not to drink it.

And I have to agree on the post about Norwegian mountain water up there. It's flippin' orgasmic in your mouth when you're thirsty, and I'm not even overreacting.

If you like water it doesn't mean you can't like something else more.
I like water and I mostly drink water but I prefer coffee, beer or cola over water from time to time. (not to mention good whisky with a small drop of water (no ice) )

[Tigercat]

I drink a *lot* of water. Aside from the occasional cup of milk when eating something spicy and the odd cup of chocolate milk because I want it, it's all I drink. Actually got a bottle of water sitting next to me, as I do most of the time.

PS: I'm also weird and don't care a bit about it being cold, usually. During or after exercise, yea I generally prefer colder water, but outside of that room temperature is just fine with me.

i love the tap water here in switzerland. i like it much better than bottled water even, it tastes more "natural" to me (possibly because i drink bottled water out of plastic bottles, as expected lol).
i hate the tap water in most other countries though. the water in canada (vancouver/bc) i had for example, with all the chlorine in it - i couldn't drink more than i absolutely had to from it.

water is pretty much all i drink. sometimes i drink a rivella (swiss soda) or a coke during lunch, and a little bit of tea during dinner, but most of the time it's only water

Well for example, I've read that there are places in Norway where you could drink the water directly from the source without doing anything to treat it. But as someone who's never had water that pure before, I wonder if it would make me sick trying it.

Not just Norway, so far ran into perfectly drinkable natural water in Norway, Sweden and Finland.
