Dont be so awkward it tastes bland, because it was boiled in water otherwise, it seriously tastes sweet

I answered no, but then I figured that Misha's logic was pretty cool, and made sense to me. Water tastes like water, chocolate tastes like chocolate and so on. So water has a taste, it just doesn't taste like something you can put a name to. That doesn't mean it tastes like nothing........

If nothing else in the world tastes like water, apart from water, then it has no taste apart from its own, thus it is tasteless.
I wish i'd been online yesterday to kick your ass for posting such bloody nonsense. "if something is unique it does not exist"
silly bugger.

Ah but no.
Chocolate tastes sweet. Chicken is salty. WE have taste buts which are salty, sour, sweet or bitter. <---water is neither of these, thereofre, how can have a taste if it tastes like nothing we can(physically) taste?

Nothing tastes like anything else. Everything has its own disntinct taste. There are always various adjectives you can use to acticulate the taste of anything.
IE Peanut Butter is sticky, creamy, and salty.

Again, refer to my reply.
Water is neither sweet, salty, sour or bitter, and everything else that has a taste has some of those componants, thats why we can taste it.
Water is not sweet, sour, salty or bitter, therefore we cannot taste it.

We posted at the same time, I did not read yours prior to responding. I apologize.
I understand the logic behind your response, and I do agree to an extent, however there are certain minerals that give water a distinct taste.

Water has more tastes than almost anything else - glossing over the obvious fact that seawater tastes like salt you are still left with that fact that fresh water is as much a product of it's environment as, say, honey is dependant on the flowers its made from. Islay in scotland has a water that tastes so much of the rich dark peat of the island that the whiskey they make there is unlike any other - it tastes the way smoke smells.
Down in glastonbury somerset is the chalice well - the mythical resting place of the holy grail - the natural spring that feeds the well is chalybeate in nature - the rock that the water flows over builds up iron deposits and is a rich russet red. On a summers night when the air is cool and the water is warm the heavy iron water tastes so much like blood it can be quite scary to drink. Unless you like that kind of thing in which case..... yum.

Water is water. Drinking water always has a taste and its usually the flourine or whatever the put to clean it.
Distilled water taste bitter to me if thats the right word.
