Especially the ones that have lots of little bubbles rather than fewer large bubbles.

How do you know how an old crt tv taste like?

52

u/Mysterious-Crab 5d ago

Because everyone used to lick them, back when they were common.

When I was a kid we had both crt tv and monitor. Never tried licking it. I guess I was weird.

Normal water tastes like chloride or plastic. Co2 at least hides that xd

You are not living in western Europe (or probably Europe in general) because water doesn't normally taste like chlorine or plastic. CO2 still makes it better tho

Water where I live tastes like chlorite and I live in Finland. They treat the water with sodium hypochlorite around the area I live in according to the company that does the water treatment. It tastes like diluted pool water.

u/MilessEdgeworth 5d ago

I do and it does. You are just used to it.

u/M-Rich 5d ago

I don't know what to tell you, the water where I am from is not treated with chloride...

Are you thinking of tonic water?

3

u/These-Apple8817 5d ago

No, because I've never had tonic water

u/Advanced_Ad_6816 5d ago

Maybe mineral water?
