It’s never made sense to me that some people refuse to drink water even if they know it keeps you functioning properly. The same people will complain of constipation or dry skin but don’t want to do the thing that fixes their issues.

    I don’t think the cold water on a hot day is about flavor. Its just as flavorless as its ever been. Its neutral and you can’t get away from that without flavoring it. Bad water can taste aweful but the best is just going to be neutral. We like the taste of acidic things for some reason. Not sure why. The cold water when hot is more a craving and if for some reason you can’t get ice cold water but you can soda. Even if your not a soda drinker you may guzzle the icey drink.

      This is just not true. When my wife’s family moved to my home state they all though that the water tasted “sweet”. Good tasting water definitely exists.

        If i moved there I would get it tested to find out why it had that flavor. Pure distilled water that is only h2o definitely does not.

      Sad for you, but just because you can’t taste it doesn’t change the fact that water actually has taste.

        pure distilled water does not. if water with taste is water then great. I personally have a bad habit of drinking a particular flavor of water called soda.
