What is wrong with plain water? Why try to mess it up with flavor, just drink and go on.

I hate coffee, soda, and tea. water has always work well so why change it.



Our taste preferences evolve over time. Just like we’ve adapted our food to suit our personal tastes, why not do the same with drinks?

I used to be a big fan of water too, but after trying different coffees, teas, and even flavored waters, I realized how much variety and experience they can bring. Coffee gives me that kick I need to get through the day, tea offers relaxation, and flavored water just feels refreshing.

Isn’t it part of human nature to seek variety and pleasure in our experiences? If we were all content with just plain water, would we ever have discovered the joy of our favorite drinks?


I hope you are drinking all of them without sugar, milk or anything else added


I don't do sugar much. But for coffee or tea, sometime I do drink latte or milktea. Like what I mentioned, I'm the kind that will seek for variety flavors and experience, like how I pursue my life.


Your question is provocative, but the answers are within the most utopic things I've read.

Sounds like we evolved to be over water basically. Ideocracy calling


This strikes me as a tad disingenuous. Indeed, why try anything new? Why can’t everything be the same forever?

Folks like variety. Maybe you don’t, that’s fine, but acting incredulous about it isn’t going to make you any friends.
