If it’s just too much or too little heat, why does it taste so different? Also, why does hot water taste bad? We need water to survive, but hot water tastes so bad I’d rather stay thirsty than drink it
In: Chemistry
1. Cold water is generally an acquired taste and deviating from that can feel odd
2. Cold water prevents your taste buds from responding to any impurity in the water that you otherwise would have if the water was hot. Cold water is essentially a numbing agent to an extent. By extension, taste buds are more sensitive when they are in a hotter environment.
