quick_spider Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I just realised that I cannot describe the taste of water. Can you? Why not?Go Generally to 'measure' something you also need a blank and a control as a reference. Water is normally a 'blank' so it's difficult to describe it.Can you describe the taste of anything?Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 It's the same as tyring to explain red to a blind person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick_spider Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 It's the same as tyring to explain red to a blind person. That's easier It's (relatively) easy to explain how the colour red is seen (in terms of wavelength)Taste/Smell are tricker to quantify in the same way.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Water is bland when compared to other drinks.But for some person living on Mars, orange juice could be the norm and be described as bland when compared to water.

Mark W Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 bland, refreshing, moist? Just like your Mum. Bur hur hur.Anyway, yeah, it's the same as asking how to describe anything. The only way you can describe it is to use references to it, but with something like...erm...turkey, you could go "Hmm, sorta tastes like chicken", but with water, it's pretty unique.Evian for the win 'n' all that though. Tasty tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Evian for the win 'n' all that though. Tasty tasty. What makes it tasty though, Mark? I agree though, I too am an Evian fag, but still couldn't ever describe the taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 evian tastes like imsdal that's been sitting around for a few weeks in the sun. not a fave. and yes tic, i remember being warned.. mike's wasn't too bad actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Well, the water that comes out my tap tastes like the water you can but in the bottles that say "highland spring water" on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
