Why aren’t these organizations doing something at least as productive? Like, say, trying to get the guy who called for the January 6th insurrection barred from running for public office in the 17 states that have this kind of law on the books?

My ex MIL was a hardcore coffee only person. She was rail thin constantly constipated and just a disagreeably uptight person (and a professional violinist)

That wasn’t about the taste of it, though.

It took some forcing for me to get to like plain water, but eventually I just started getting a gallon jug and a really long straw and making myself drink until I didn’t get annoyed at it anymore. That said, now I go through lotion so fast it’ll make your head spin, because washing your hands after having to pee for…

Not really! The reason everyone drank so much watery beer and tea and such throughout history is that anything that cleaned your water was your friend. Boiling water for tea cleaned it, and alcohol kills microbes. Those also add flavor. Drinking plain water was not always so common and could get you cholera.

I’m just trying to see why this is so much better than, for instance, getting one of those little squeeze bottles of flavoring syrup. Better for the consumer, I mean, because proprietary bottles and flavor pouches does sound like a hell of a racket.

They should just take up water-boofing. If they hate drinking water so much they can sit in it.

I truly feel bad for people who don’t enjoy water. They have constant health issues which could be solved with drinking water regularly.

You ARE water.

Yah this seems like a really expensive solution-to-a-problem-that-doesn’t-exist type of things.

Go on a 2 week back country camping trip and have to filter your water or die, you will get use to water. 

exactly!

I usually just add a tiny bit of juice

“I don’t like plain water” sounds like the most first world problem ever.

Yep, but I think it may be people wanting to get fully away? I don’t know it’s not exactly a useful device. Short of it doing flavors of things you can’t get in other water additives, it makes no real sense.

then they should drink flavored seltzer.

I think these are for people who want something to smell like processed beverages (like a cola, sports drink, etc.). 

I mean, it’s worked for the last several thousand years.

Just ‘plop a lemon wedge’, eh? Am I to act like some kind of pleb who doesn’t understand retronasal smell, putting gauche ‘flavors’ on my ‘tongue’ instead of inhaling them in a dignified manner befitting the classy gentleman I truly am!

Oh for god’s sake. If you don’t like regular water, then just add a herbal tea mix to it.
