Water tastes different from different cups

[Calculator83]

I just noticed this today, and tried out a bunch of different cups I had.

I tried Gold, Plastic, 'Real" Tin Can, aluminum can, and steel pipe.

the water all taste different. And yes they were all cleaned with dishwash liquid Three times prior to the test.

I thought your title said "waste water"

Plastic for sure tastes different than glass (at least with the plastic cups I have)

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Reps for you.

This here is one quality thread.

Took you this long to figure it out? Thats why you drink wine from a glass and beer from a bottle.

K. I still drink from the closest cup.

I agree. the drinking vessel does affect the taste. I remember aluminum drinking glasses when I was a kid. They always gave the water a metallic taste...but they were unbreakable. (they did dent pretty well though!)

" When I was a boy I first learned how much better water tastes when it has set a while in a cedar bucket. Warmish-cool, with a faint taste like the hot July wind in cedar trees smells. It has to set at least six hours, and be drunk from a gourd. Water should never be drunk from metal.

if you put ice in something u taste less of the cup.

If you don't put any water in a cup, there will be no water in the cup.

personally, I prefer drinking out of stainless steel glasses.

eat the cups and see if they taste different

Why in God's name would you ever find yourself drinking out of a steel pipe? And Gold? What, do you just have a chalice on hand Lil Jon?

I've noticed the same thing. When eating at restaurants, I always drink from the glass rather than using a straw because I think it has a more refreshing taste. Of course, tt could all be in my head.

So...if there's no water in the cup, does that mean it's 100% empty or 0% full?

I do agree with OP though - water definitely inherits the taste of the drinking vessel. I'm sure all liquids do, but it's not as noticeable because the flavor of the drink masks it.

Drink water out of elephant shit like Bear Grylls did and I'm sure you can taste it.

I don't think the water actually picks up the "taste" of the cup. It's more when you put it to your mouth you taste the cup as well as the water.

My grandmother had these sweet anodized aluminum cups in red, blue, green, and silver, that we all fought over when we were kids. There was something about the feel of the metal that made the water just taste more refreshing.

You guys realize when you put metal on your lips and in your mouth you're going to taste it, right? Everything is shedding particles, so it should be clear that drinking from a metal cup means you're putting metal in your mouth so you'll taste it.

Plus the scent of the cups can alter the way you think the water tastes.

Different materials leach different particles.
