Today in class, we had a water tasting test. Honestly, I wasn't to interested because although I knew that water had different taste, it was still just water to me. So I just sat down and took a sip of the first sample, and continued the process. What surprised me wasn't the obvious difference in taste and smell, but the results of the taste test. Tap water was unanimously the best scored water.
Before, we I though of tap water, 3 things came to my mind, Tap water isn't supposed to taste good, it's supposed to stink. and it's supposed to be an off looking color. But, boy was I wrong. It was the exact opposite. I then started to think about all the reason I thought tap water was bad in the first place. And then it dawned on me. I thought tap water was bad because everyone thought that tap water wasn't clean. But why?
The other day my class found out that most of today's big brand water bottle, is just tap water! So, how is it safer to drink than tap? Multiple test have proven that tap water is just as clean as bottled water. But, companies have planted it in our heads that anything that's not in a plastic bottle. America probably has the cleanest tap water, but we are wasting our money on something that will pollute the earth! I couldn't believe all that came from a simple water tasting test. But, I'm glad I did.
