Does water taste like _______...?

Question

me and my friend are having a debate over what water tastes like. I said water to me tastes like clear, does that make sense?

Because clear is see through and seems like nothing, and water tastes like nothing so therefore it is clear.

Answer 1

Water in itself (plain old H2O) has no taste.

If you can really taste something, there is some sort of additive or other ingredient involved, whether intentionally or not. For example, tap water tends to have fluoride and other additives in it, depending on where you live. Cities do this to improve the health of residents (NOT as mind control, you dang conspiracy theorists!). If you taste something in it, then it isn't water.

Answer 2

Water (pure H2O, not counting the metallic taste of minerals etc) has taste and smell, but not for animals and humans as we are largely made up of water, we breathe large quantities of water vapour, and almost everything we eat/drink contains large amounts of water. It is natural to us and therefore "has no taste". This isn't a fact, just a theory/speculation that I have.



No. In order for it to be water, it has to be colorless, odorless and tasteless. The things you taste is not the water, but the things that are in the water. If it has a taste, it's not 100% pure water.

Answer 3

clear describes a color.



and in order to describe what something taste like it must have a taste; water does not have a taste.

Answer 4

water tastes like water. there is really no way to explain it. when your thirsty, it tastes like heaven. when you have to drink it with vitamins or something, it tastes annoying. it depends, really.

Answer 5

USELESS QUESTION
