NakamottoWater? WTF is that?
ScrubblesAs American, can confidently say that yes, people drink soda as water. You can usually find people who drink directly out of the 2 liters but be mouth agape when you tell them you drink water from the tap
You know tap water ain’t healthy, right?
People are so accustomed to sugar overload they literally can’t taste anymore. I drink la croix if I want something a bit bubbly, but so many Americans make fun of la croix drinkers. “It’s like smelling a lemon from 10 feet away haw haw haw”.
No, drinks like that actually have a lot of flavor, but your taste buds are so constantly overwhelmed with sugar that your literal ability to taste has degradated
ѕєχυαℓ ρσℓутσρєThe only drink that I have regularly except water is coffee. My taste buds are a bit bust too on account of being Indian. I can’t taste the subtleties of coffee as some people seem to be able to. Pomegranate, cherry, peach, whatever, can’t taste any of them in coffee. The only flavours I can actually taste in coffee are sweet, chocolatey, and well, coffee.
Interesting, that happened to me after covid, my taste buds changed for a few weeks. You are definitely picking up on the more floral and aromatic flavors rather than the obvious sweet ones. In some ways your palette is off, but in other ways you’re probably really fine tuned
