How do I make tap water taste bett-

[Cradsbury]

-er?

Yeah, how do I make regular water from the tap taste better?

The tap water here in America tastes like piss. I'm sick of drinking nothing but soda all the time, and I don't have any cash to shell out for a water purifier.

Any suggestions?

[Armerad]

My refridgerator has a built in water cooler/purifier, but I agree that normal tap water tastes nasty.

[Daddy-L-Jackson]

Uhhh.... not to sound like a dick, but I think your stuck with piss water until you can shell out for a purifier, unless you want to get a bunch of sand and rocks and shit and purify it yourself. Sorry.

[WingCommand]

Tap water in America is pretty good. Your just so used to the soda, that anything that isnt soda tastes like shit.

[Scrotaculous]

Refrigerate the water in a pitcher and then use that. Or put lemon in it.

I agree...

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it said 'Fap Water...' maybe I'm just expecting too much from the BBS?

You could boil the water for a few minutes, let it cool then drink it.

To kill bacteria and stuff.

[mushroomn]

put soda funds into water purifier?

[HeavyMetalGuy]

You could get a "Pur" or "Brita" water filter to put on the faucet. Ive never tried them but i assume they work.

[FatJoe214]

tap water is ok but if your gonna want flavor put sugar

[cast]

You're going to need a rubber band, mason jar, and a coffee filter.

No, you're just fab that's all. Anyway, try refrigerating the water and use a lot of ice. You could also buy those little Crystal Light packets too.

Who do you think I am, MacGuyver?

well, I wish I was...

[Jamoke]

Dude, a Brita or Pür water filtration jug isn't going to set you back a lot of money, they're like 10 bucks or less sometimes. Try looking for one in good condition at a rummage sale or something, that way you only have to buy the filters. It's either that or spring for bottled, or just get used to the water.

[Enigmartist]

Just add vodka!

After a few glasses you won't even care how it tastes.

[MachSchneller]

Crystal light is good, but aspartame isn't.

shell out for a purifier.

[Gagsy]

I add fruit squash to it. Makes it much better. Not orange though. Has to be like Blackcurrent or Tropical Fruit. Yummy water then.

Water tastes TERRIBLE after you have done that.

[PatchouliKnowledge]

What you need to do is charm your water so that it automatically rids itself of any microorganisms. Or, if you have one, get your maid to do it. I suggest you also read a few books on water purification and enchantment.

[thelittleemo]

Well either fork over the money for a purifier, or just get bottled water. I'd go with a purifier since I think that it'd be cheaper than buying bottled water every month basically.

What tastes even worse is water with iron and shit in it, you have a metallic taste in your mouth for HOURS despite what you eat/drink.

Anyways, It'd be good to get one of those Brita/Pür jugs. Like Jamoke said, they aren't THAT expensive.

Fill a glass with ice, pour the water into it, and stick a white straw in it. Works every time for me.

In the words of coach Klein:

WATER SUCKS,
IT REALLY REALLY SUCKS,
THE WATER SUCKS!!!!

[Fleshlight]

It depends on where you live. Here, tap water tastes just like the water from my fridge, only a little warmer. Only thing you can do is boil the water, bottle it, and stash it in your fridge

that's the cheapest way anyway

Yeah, a purifier is really the only way. But you could put ice in it too, kill the taste with temperature.

[Orange-Jews]

Firstly... tap water is delicious, and im sure the water in the US isnt that much different than the water here.

Secondly, add ice to it. Ice makes EVERYTHING taste better, even if its ice made with the same tap water.

[DocSprite]

Buy a Brita water filter. Tastes better than any bottled water you can get at the store.

[Struggle]

Just put some ice in it. That's all i do to make it taste better. Usually works out.

[JoeTheToucan]

Buy bottled mineral water. Clean, pure, and usually mighty cheap if you get the store-brand ones. there's no difference between tesco Ashbeck mountain spring and Evian imo. And you save yourself 70p-£1

[EKublai]

Put lots of sugar in it!
