And it’s incredibly specific. The water in Paris tastes different from the water in New York. Different underground rocks, different pipes.
Water sommeliers exist. Yes, really. They sniff, swirl, and taste water like it’s a fine Bordeaux.

The Zany Experiment to Try Tonight
Grab three different waters. Tap, bottled spring, and that weird sparkling kind nobody likes.
