Drinking water from a glass is refreshing. Drinking water from a cup tastes wierd

mariano rivera

Its just not the same.

Is it a visual thing?

Matter of opinion maybe ? doesnt make much of a difference

Weird but true, but drinking from the tap is??

PseudoFamous

Useless observation without a refreshment index for bottled water.

Ah late night after hours you have to love it.

Stripey Cat

What about being blasted with piss? How does that feel?

puzzle factory

you have hit the nail on the head with that,fup water from a cup.

Chuck Stone

What I do is drink tea from a glass to get revenge on the cup.

CrazyRabbit

It's the temperature. Glass conducts the cold from the water much much faster that the clay/porcelain cup, so 'feels' more refreshing. It's not actually the taste that's different.

Either that or you have a mental disorder.

Guill

How full is this glass?

Doesn't feel very original after the 20000th time.

Milk from a glass jug is the same situation.

It's even better when you leave it in the freezer for five minutes and then use it in your tea.

Fago!

I love this thread. And yes it tastes weird out of a cup.

Yeah, but "everybody" has their favourite mug for coffee. Explain that!

Think its just "bad nerves" as they used to say!

sdanseo

Yeah, it's true. Odd the things you notice in the early hours :rolleyes:

Supped from a fast flowing mountain stream is the only way I can drink the stuff...

I'd almost bet that most of AH would drink beer off a scabby leg! A cup is probably a step up for most!

Stripey Cat

People used to drink beer out of metal tankards.

Yeah.
Drinks from glasses or bottles are nicer than drinks from aluminium cans, and both are nicer than drinks from plastic containers.
The weirdest and least pleasant I've tried is drinking from a copper mug, which they use in a restaurant I know. Water just tasted bad and very metallic

Apart from cans of coke of course!

CamperMan

Try pouring that coke into a nice tall glass with a few cubes of ice and you'll see how much nicer that is.

Saaron

I have to agree. I can't explain why, but water from a cup/mug is just....weird!

twowheelsonly

I'm with the OP. It is weird and it's not just visual.
It's the same with Milk and Coke - It's just all wrong.

2 days ago I 'blasted my son with piss' because a builder we have working on the house asked for a glass of water and he gave him a mug of water!! He couldn't seem to understand that it's just not right!!

cocoshovel

I hate using cups in other peoples homes. I always check to see how well its washed.

thats mental. I always drink water from a cup, always have. I like the temperature the cup keeps the water. also it reminds me of the scene in indiana jones when he drinks the water from the most modest chalice. My OH thinks I'm weird. Looks like I may well be never thought I'd see a thread about this though

Namlub

Drinking water from a cup is my biggest phobia in life. Which is a bit weird...

Maximus Alexander

I believe this is a similar phenomenon to the one where sandwiches cut in triangles always taste better.

Maximus Alexander

It's all about the thickness of the rim

No really

With the exception of those made with batch bread or corned beef.

Isn't it really cool to be neurotic? Have to agree with almost everything posted on this thread. Off to get a thin mug of coffee!

What? Who does that. If anyone was ever in the desperate situation of discovering they didn't have a straw for their Capri Sun and ended up piercing it with someone else and drinking it strawless knows its just not the same.

Ive heard of Irish people doing that. I think its something to do with being healthy, or maybe its just a substitute for a hot drink if said person doesnt want to drink anything but water.

I also read somewhere that you dont get any cold beer in China. All warm.

FTGFOP

Use a teaspoon, wipe it, put it back: Fine

Drink water from a cup: Weird

Got it.

People do that here too, and they throw bits of dead leaves in with it. WTF is that about?

Dudess

And tea is way nicer from a dark-coloured mug or cup than a white/cream/pastel one.

af_thefragile

I think cups have that residue taste of tea/coffee in them and hence the water doesn't taste the same...

Or maybe it is a visual thing... We like to see water as something transparent...

Oh hell no.
Sure there could be any sort of muck on the inside of a black mug, yuck.
Nope, white mug shiiiiny white on the inside all clean with no yucky stuff hiding....

Dudess

But the yucky stuff adds a bit extra. :mad:

blasphemy! Ice cold can of coke wins every time over everything!

The best tasting water is from those tiny paper cups, when you're parched and you're in an office full of people so you have to control yourself when really you'd like to just jump into the bottle instead..

Damn that's some good water!!
