    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.

      It’s fancy tap water. Amazing that Coke makes so much money off it

        Coke is secretly tap water + carbonated syrup.

          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

              I’m from Atlanta, trust me I know all the terribleness, doesn’t change that I think it aesthetically looks cool and it’s tied to my memory of a nice lady I never really got to know because Alzheimer’s

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

                  The fucking nazis actually come to mind, Hugo Boss knows how to cut fabric

                  Edit: to be clear I’m not saying wearing SS uniforms would be acceptable but I also think there’s a bit of space between that and having an antique coke machine for the look

      its literally just tap water straight from a water main, that they basically don’t pay for.

      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

    Any water snobs out there who have a favorite filter?

      Tap

      I used marketing magic on my own brain by convincing myself I could taste the plastic in bottled water

        👏 lucky

        I already filter and it just ain’t the best I’ve ever had and it’s hard to forget that fact

      Reverse osmosis with a remineralization alkaline post filter. Best water I’ve ever had, installed one in the kitchen for cooking/drinking

        Nice, RO seems tops. Gotta sacrifice some water of course. Remineralization, interesting. Pricey? Evaluate a lotta brands? curious which one you went with.

          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

      Is Evian not good? I usually don’t buy bottled water and just have a hydro flask with me but thought Evian was decent?

    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.
