I said what I said. Dasani tastes like SADNESS. Fiji water is overpriced glacier tears. And don't even get me started on tap water. The internet is FURIOUS, but science backs me up. Here's why you're wrong.
Let me start with a statement that will make half of you rage-quit this article immediately:
**Water absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, has different tastes depending on the source, and if you can't taste the difference, your palate is broken.**
There. I said it. Come at me.
The internet loses its MIND every time this debate comes up. "Water is water!" they scream. "It's tasteless!" they insist.
Cool story. You're wrong. And I have science, blind taste tests, and professional water sommeliers (yes, that's a real job) to back me up.
Buckle up, because I'm about to ruin every water-drinking experience you've ever had.
