well maybe german people love their sparkling water coz its best? You usually can't drink it all at once and by that it's harder to kill a lot of thirst at once (well u can but u have to be used to it) but it's just way more of a pleasure to drink

Well, an easy trick is just to fill a big jar of water and puttinng it on you desk. Sooneder or later you will automatically fill your cup with it.


Or, he will say fuck the cup and drink it out of the jar.

ìt's funny because in the Netherlands tap water is actually cleaner than the water you can buy in the supermarket and stuff.

Anyway, I've never experienced bad tasting water or something, but if you want to make water taste better, I'd suggest you add lemonade.

Not good for you because of the amount of vitamin d? I'm confused.

For most of the US, the same is true. Tap water is federally regulated and monitored while bottled water is not.

I find water taste so much better straight from a drinking fountain. I don't know why, it just does.

Coffee won't have sugar if you drink it black like a real man :-)

Lemon water is nice, as is cucumber water, surprisingly.

My water doesn't taste like metal... and how could I tire of it, especially now during winter times when it's sooo deliciously cold ^^

CITRUS FRUIT, but that is the answer. if you have a filter system (like brita) put lemons, oranges or whatever the hell you want (rasberries are pretty good as well) in the water let it soak in for a few hours then drink. Personally i could drink lemon water all day.

Ice water is fucking delicious, I don't know why, but ice has a nice flavor. Maybe my tongue is too numb/burning to taste anything, w/e, I still love it.

water isn't coca cola, you drink water so you won't die. water is the basis of life on planet earth and it's been this way for millions of years, how can you disgrace water by adding stuff to it, i just don't understand. clean pure water is the best thing ever

Agreed.

My personal favorite is a garden hose, after I've been spraying lawn chemicals on my yard.

Poland Spring if you're going the bottled route.

COLD filtered tap water if you're going the tap water route.
Toss in some lemon if you want more flavor.

Seltzer if you want your water in boss mode. Seriously, I don't think I can be drinking the same thing as all the people in this thread hating on sparkling water. It boggles the mind... Plus, it's a great mixer too!

Throw some ice in any of the above if you feel like it. Chunks > cubes > crushed.

Yeah, as everyone else has said in this thread, your water shouldn't taste metalic. It's probably from old iron pipes which shouldn't hurt you but can taste kind of gross. While in college I lived in an old building that had a similar problem, after a while my shower/sink would start getting sort of reddish colored from all the iron in the water. Was really hard water too (lots of calcium) that caused buildup as well. All in all did not taste good at all.

$20 will get you a brita water filter and enough extra filters to last half a year. Not necessarily any healthier unless you live in some third world country without potable tap water (like Korea), but the taste is definitely better.


It's a little more expensive than this but not much. The pitchers are a little annoying as you have to keep filling them up, but the sink filters work nice.

That usually takes out quite a bit of calcium (carbonate). I prefer low-calcium water, too.


Huh? Why would boiling your water take out the calcium? If anything this would increase the concentration of minerals as when you boil the water some of it is escaping as water vapor and the minerals are being left behind. The only way this would work is if you boiled the water then captured and recondensed the water vapor back into liquid water. And at that point you may as well just go to the store and buy a gallon of distilled water for like $2.

Why would it even occur to you to boil water?
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

My fridge has a filter in it and dispenses clean, cold water. If you really want to change the taste though just use some diluting juice or something?
