        Weird. Fiji is one of the few that tastes like absolutely nothing to me which is what I want my water to taste like. Nothing. Don’t like it’s price though. It’s fucking water. I ain’t paying that much for water.

        Yeah I’ve been handed a bottle at some point when being sold something. If it tasted like anything it wasn’t enough to have been memorable.

        It’s fucking water.

          Well some people are more sensitive to certain tastes. People who don’t like peanuts can taste it when they eat m&Ms. I personally am very opinionated on water. It happens

        Dasani was withdrawn from the UK after just a few weeks. I tried it and it was truly disgusting.

    I found out that the taste of Dasani changes depending on where you are.

    In California/Nevada it tastes like I’m sniffing an open sewer. Up north, it’s perfectly inoffensive.

          Coca-Cola is an evil company. But it’s still fucking crazy to me that the company became so successful that it’s product at one point was the most recognizable/understood word in the world behind OK is just selling bubbly sugar water at an absurd markup.

          I also have complicated feelings about their old antique merch because I know it’s effectively propaganda, but I think it looks really cool and my grandmother had a lot of it around her house

                some terrible things have great aesthetics, of course. and coca-cola spent a century engraining itself into nostalgia, not surprised it clicks.

      Where I live, the taste has that sort of La Croix thing going on where it tastes like the bottle sat open adjacent to a sewer. Smells alright, but when I taste it it makes me ಠ_ಠ

          I went with this https://www.homedepot.com/p/Express-Water-Reverse-Osmosis-Alkaline-Water-Filtration-System-10-Stage-RO-Water-Filter-with-Faucet-and-Tank-100-GPD-ROALK10D/307338928

          Just shy of $200 which isn’t bad, although I did also buy the booster pump to maintain the most efficient water pressure

    Do you reckon humour is ever used as an advanced torture resistance tactic? A very morbid thought, but I now wonder if anyone has ever made their torturers crack up to make them fond of their victim, in order to escape.
