drinking hot water

my parents didn't allow soda in the house during my early years. my aunt came to visit when i was five or six and she was shocked to discover we had no idea what coca-cola was....

it was a good move as i never developed a huge taste for it. i like code red mountain dew, sometimes i'll mix a whiskey soda with ginger ale, and an energy drink is fun sometimes. but when i want a sweet drink, i more tend to go for juices -- cranberry and apple cider are my favorites.

and i never understood why people liked coke and pepsi! it's drinkable, but i find it hard to fathom craving it.

water > tea > coffee

...just make sure you're drinking water that's been boiled and not hot water straight from the tap.

tap, cold -> brita pitcher -> mug -> microwave

The only hot things I drink are hot chocolate and frilly-fufu coffees, both of which are incredibly rare for me to have because I then get the liquid-shits.

I do like some beverages luke warm though. Nothing like a gatorade that's been sitting out of the refrigerator for upwards of 4-5 hours.

why would you microwave water? lol. unless you don't have a kettle, i guess..

i'd say coffee beats tea, but it ain't a refreshment imo

tea has theanine which is a relaxant and probably why it's enjoyable. it's nice. hot water's cool too.

i thought that said 'theremin'

microwave is fast and accurate. 1:30 seconds to the perfect temperature; no fucking about or guessing.

watch out if you nuke water it can explode when your holding it and burn you

but they didn't explain any of the science behind it other than "Impurities" :(((((

No impurities, only nuclear waste byproducts (fluoride). Move along, citizen.

i superheated water in a microwave once. good thing i wasn't holding it when i put the teabag in -- fooom! precision microwave use is crucial.

the bubbles that would normally form when you boil water don't happen in a microwave - the water becomes superheated. impurities provide nucleation sites for bubbles, but the nucleation only happens when the water is shaken after you take it out of the microwave

tl;dr - insta-boilover when you shake the cup slightly.

I drink mad tea...plus it makes me poo which is always nice

coffee's much better for that!

tap water always boils, because it has impurities, distiled water has no impurities, that means, no boiling

similarly, i see people drinking soda simply because they're thirsty. if you WANT a soda, perfect. go for it. but america is fat due to drinking soda when they mean to drink water.

 

This isnt how you get fat, this is how you get diabetes.

That's an intelligent comment
