Water tastes better than soda. amirite?

It's disgusting I run job sites for different roofing crews and the amount of guys that don't drink water at all through out the day and only drink energy drinks, soda, and smoke cigarettes is absolutely mind blowing. Then they go home and get drunk! It's unbelievable to me.

That's just trades in general. I can bet you that Moldovan brick layers are chugging just as much sugar water as the next guys.

Because sugar water obviously tastes better than water

Brother we are biologically designed to crave sugar. It gives the energy for our bodies to function. Of course sugar tastes good and tastes better than just water.

Just because soda tastes better doesn't mean we only drink soda. I drink soda once a month maybe but of course it tastes better than water cause water has no taste.

Thank you. Water has very little taste while soda is literally designed to taste good. I very much prefer to drink water, but ill never say that water TASTES better than soda.

I agree, if it's actually good water. I've tasted some (safe) but nasty tasting water. But I still like a soda on occasion sometimes.

I mean... water definitely FEELS better to drink... but carbonated sugar water quite literally is designed to have an addicting flavor. It is designed to objectively taste better than water... which has next to no taste.

It depends on the city or area. America is a big ass country. If we're talking about the dense cities, water is almost definitely preferred over soda. If we're talking about West Virginia, then... Yeah maybe there. Soda has long been on a decline in America. Sparkling water is getting more common. If you want to see true soda life, look at Mexico. It's rough.

Water doesn't taste like much at all, it's water after all, so not sure how it tastes better. I don't drink that much soda at all, only at parties instead of beers, but they don't make you thirstier, that's just not true, you still get a lot of water from soda, it is after all mostly water, so it doesn't make you thirstier.

it tastes 'better' because its actually satiating

by lauralehner 1 day ago

I guess that is up to the person drinking it, I normally just drink water that has a faint taste of peach, that way I get a bit of flavor, but next to no calories, and no sugar, and it's easier to drink for me, especially when it's no longer cold. I still wouldn't say how well it satiates has much to anything to do with taste, sensation sure, but taste not really.

by concepcion86 1 day ago

Soda without caffeine doesn't have enough sugar to counteract how much water is in it. If you drink a glass of soda you still effectively drank a full glass of water. Drinking a 250 ml glass of vodka is too much alcohol annd only gives you like 150 ml of actual water. And yes I do drink diet. Diet sodas are immensely popular.

I really think I prefer the carbonation as the number one when I have a meal. I like diet things. Diet Coke especially. I put a little packet of True Lemon or Lime in it. Fresca is great. They have probiotic soda now that is supposed to be better for us too. SO many choices and ALL are water BASED 😌

Hard agree. Over the last two years I completely quit drinking sodas and just recently got myself a Dr. Pepper because that used to be my drink of choice. It's just syrupy sugar with maybe a little water mixed in; it's gross and I won't be buying that nonsense anymore either. Hydrohomie for life here.

Well. Nailed the unpopular opinion here. Water is disgusting it's hard to gag it down, then it sits there like a rock and you have to fight to keep it down. In the other corner soda which tastes good no fight to go down or stay down.

Soda tastes better than water. Water (at least good water) has no taste. It is more refreshing and better for you, but it has no taste.

Wait until you discover soda stream + sugar free drink mix powders ( some with caffeine ). Even carbonated lemon water taste fantastic ! The amount of added sugar in soda is criminal . Think of eating 2 serving cereal , with milk , juice , then eating a cookie and a soda . Sounds like typical meal time and sounds like 125% of daily sugar between 9am and 12pm Once you see it you can't unsee it and it's just not worth the sugar. I've got a max of 30 calorie rule for drinks other than smoothies without added sugar and I don't do diet drinks because it's just chemical sludge .

I don't know how much sugar the body would need per day, just as i feel i would say with 1 soda (0.5 litres) alone you're already above the amount the body would need 🤔🤔😅😅🤷‍♂️

Soda actually hydrates better than water. Shouldn't leave a sticky feeling in your mouth either, your saliva should clear that up quickly.

I love water and it is basically all that I drink. Every few months I enjoy that variety of something like a soda, but then it is back to water which on the whole I like much better. I will say though that there are plenty of juices that feel good after chugging, though I prefer to drink them slowly and savor them. There are juices that are truly delicious, way better than any soda, but I still use them as an occasional treat. On the whole I just really like water, and most of the time it is all I even want.

You say it tastes better, but then you don't describe taste. Obviously water is better for you, makes you feel better, quenches your thirst. Obviously soda is way worse than just drinking water. Soda tastes better. Water doesn't really have taste.
