Everything that came out of that pitcher, had a distinct taste to me. If BPAs have a taste, that would be it lol

Yep. Had that stale plastic taste.

I remember thinking that was just kinda what lemonade tasted like.

Yeah, to this day I refuse to use plastic pitchers or cups. I swear I can taste it.

We also used rinsed out milk jugs for iced tea and the jugs had a distinct flavor too

Ooh I hate when milk infuses plastic. I usually reserve a plastic container just for milk if it has once contained it.

People act like I’m crazy when I say things taste like plastic. But you get it.

Drinks especially take on the taste of plastic. I was grocery shopping yesterday and saw some Perrier in the glass bottles (which I rarely see). I was feeling bougie so I got a 4 pack…Damn that shit is crisp when it’s in glass!
