When I’m thirsty, I don’t think “I want a Diet Coke.” I don’t think “I want lemonade.” I think “I want water.”
I personally don’t understand why people don’t prefer water. It’s free and it tastes refreshing. I’m not specifically talking health-soda just doesn’t hit the same as a glass of water. Water is genuinely so addicting. Sometimes I can’t go more than 5 minutes without water because my mouth is so dry and it’s all I can think about.
Soda also lingers in the mouth, and often the taste that lingers isn’t the good-tasting bit. I can still taste the soda in my mouth for up to an hour but water just leaves my mouth refreshed with no
aftertaste.
Then again I don’t drink soda very often (maybe once or twice a week), and when I do I always skip out on caffeine for other sodas like root beer or lemonade or Fanta or carbonated water.
Anyways yeah that was my rant.

Water is the essence of moisture and moisture is the essence of beauty
water slaps 10/10
Free.. ehhhh. But when you’ve had sugar, it tastes gray. It’s hard to revert back to just water for that reason.
Water is refreshing and satisfying when you’re thirsty, but lemonade/soda actually tastes good whether you’re thirsty or not.
I don’t think this is unpopular. I feel like most people understand water is essential to life and quenching thirst.
r/HydroHomies has 1.3 million members so you aren’t certainly alone in this opinion. I agree with your opinion, I love water, especially cold water over any other beverage.
Best water is in an ice filled glass. Crisp. Pure.
I don’t drink other things when I’m thirsty, I drink water but the best taste isn’t water at all. Lots of drinks are far better. A slurpee cherry coke/blue raspberry is way better. 🤷🏾♂️
You can’t make beer without water …so, yeah!
Water is amazing when you’re thirsty. But so is light beer. But water is definitely not the best “tasting”.” I think you mean to say it’s the most refreshing and satisfying… but it objectively tastes like nothing. Like saying air is the best smell in the world. Good air smells like nothing, good water tastes like nothing.

Since when?
Seems like the book The Search for Delicious got it right for you.
I go on spurts of being okay with water. I can taste what’s in the water and it’s yucky. Plastic cheap water bottles, the kind that crinkle really easy when squeeze and usually cheap, taste like they have dirt in them. Other waters just taste weird. But I’m weird and I really liked Dasani water until everyone found out all the bad stuff and now I can’t touch it. I have a really good water filter but I would almost always prefer a Pepsi over water but I love a cold drink and cold water hurts my stomach. I dont really like juices either. I live almost exclusively off Pepsi lol
Not unpopular. We love water.
Clean pure water never tastes bad, that’s for sure! I relish my water addiction. I literally owe my life to it.
I always joke that water can dehydrate me, because a glass of it will last me all day and half of it will still be there when I go to bed. Water with a little bit of lemon is a bit better, but I much prefer coke, tea, coffee or beer.
Liquid IV and water
Foosball’s the devil, Bobby!
I agree if it’s a hot, and especially if it’s also a humid day. Otherwise meh.
Water is good but so is coffee and tea
you clearly haven’t had an ice cold beer
Good water is. Our spring is lovely!! Have you filled up a cup of WDW tap water? Ew.
Honestly agree, I can’t understand those freaks that have to flavour their water just to drink it. How weak and pathetic can you genuinely be.
How is this unpopular theres even r/hydrohomies
I frikin agree
Water doesn’t taste like anything
I just had an Oreo milkshake. You are wrong.
I drink way too much Diet Coke, but it’s often my go-to drink. I also drink water, but it’s boring in comparison to the powerful chemical sweetness of Aspartame.
Coca-Cola nothing comes close imo.
Ice cold water is just on another level
It’s sad…but I do think of diet coke when I’m thirsty *sigh*
HATE HATE the taste of water ever since I lost the Dasani-flavored chapstick bought at World of Coca Cola. Nothing can replace the wondrous concoction inside of that irregularly slender twist up tube.
It’s weird but for me, drinking water from a glass sucks whereas water from a proper bottle with a good spout is absolutely fire.
Drinking from a glass is slow, kind of uncomfortable, tends to want to spill, tastes weird, and goes down gluggy and awkward. It takes forever and is annoying and while it is ultimately hydrating, it’s not refreshing.
From a proper bottle, like an owala or anything with a smallish spout and an air hole, however, I can pound 16-20oz of water in a few seconds and it’s like an instant blast of refreshment and freshness right into my core.
People who want diet coke are generally addicted to caffeine and/or sugar, not the taste, they’re feening for a hit not a thirst quencher.
What, you mean like in the toilet?
People don’t realize that thirst is actually a sign your body is finally well-hydrated.
Sincerely,
Another water lover.
Water is great for many reasons, but many drinks taste much better.
When it doesn’t smell or taste of cloriene or metal, but it tastes and smells of chlorine just about 100% of the time for me since i solely drink tap water…

Free?
Water or seltzer are actually quenching. I don’t want sugar drinks when thirsty.
I see nothing wrong with this opinion. I had sensitive baby teeth as a kid though, and couldn’t drink anything acidic. It’s better now, but I just never got a taste for soda, so I don’t drink it. Milk on the other hand…
Take my up vote for (in my case) a true unpopular opinion.
I can’t stand water. It does not taste good. Does not leave me refreshed. Does not quench my thirst. Just makes me feel bloated and heavy.
Southern Sweet Tea or Soda for me..
