why is it asked, what does water taste like?

Question

people ask what does water taste like but think.............what does a grape taste like.........you'll probably think a grape....duh......but really what does a grape taste like what are the flavors that make up the actual flavor.........well my point is water taste like water and a grape taste like a grape so why do people always ask what water taste like

Answer 1

Your question is kinda Zen, isn't it?

With water I think that it's not so much HOW it tastes,

but what it DOESN'T taste like - Chlorine, sulfur and other impurities!

Once my son and I were in Glacier National Park in Montana and drank out of the stream :: perhaps with melted ic e water from 100,000 years ago we could hallucinate DINOSAURS!

Answer 2

Actually, it's a Legitimate Question. Because not ALL water "tastes" the Same". I mean, have You never gone someplace, turned on the Tap to get a drink- & said, "Eww, -This water Tastes funny..." ?! I for one -don't like the Taste of Bottled Water (it "tastes" flat- to me); -But my Tap water here is OK; -and Fresh Rainwater is DELICIOUS ! So the Question is not without Merit... :)

Answer 3

it actually depends if it's filtered water or not. it's hard to describe, but it does have a taste...it's weird. no one really needs to ask though because like everyone has had water at some time lol. i have no idea why people ask...

if someone asked me i would just say that it's refreshing tasting haha.

Answer 4

Water tastes like chlorine or minerals, depending on the source.



Pure water doesn't have a taste.

Answer 5

It's incredibly hard to describe how water tastes. But if you were to describe a grape, you could describe it as tangy or sweet or sour and round and hard or mushy. But how would you describe water? liquidy?

Answer 6

Water tastes like cleaness.

Answer 7

Water doesn't have a taste. Pure water that is.
