    I was this person for ages. Our tap water had a taste growing up, and all the water fountain water in school tasted like pennies. I assumed all plain water was disgusting. My first bottled water was Dasani, so yeah, more shitty water. I assumed all bottled water was just as gross as all the other water I had.

    As an adult, I had to transition off of soda to flavored sparkling water. Then, from that, to flavored still water. Now, I can drink plain water. Most people don’t even try to adjust their taste buds.

        Except it isn’t, you can’t really control certain factors regarding water flavor, hell the mile between my home and the place I stayed while my mother worked was enough for the well water to taste completely different. One was amazing, the other so hard with minerals I’m surprised it cause kidney stones
