    How is “water” different from “no taste”?

    That must be some foul tap water he’s using.

    Wow… just, wow.

    It would suck if she had to teach and perform a really bad tasting song.

    Water has a flavor and an odor all its own, even if it’s pure H2O. Most humans don’t notice it, but it’s there. Dogs can smell it from miles away, as anyone with Labrador retrievers knows. I myself can home in on water sources in unfamiliar buildings by smell alone. If I locate a drinking fountain instead of the bathroom, it’s only because it’s another water outlet.

    Yep, water has a taste. The only thing that doesn’t have a taste is your own saliva on a good day.
