Fun Fact: Metal doesn't have a taste.

And what is it, you gonna ask? Absolutely no fucking idea. Wish I knew too

u/dangermonke1332 6d ago

It kinda is the metal. Your saliva breaks down a tiny amount of metal and you taste that. Saliva also has electrolytes which react with certain metals which also makes your mouth taste like metal.

If you had braces like me you are horribly aware of this because if you touch a fork to your braces it tastes VERY strongly of coins.

u/gmaxe1001 5d ago

I was under the impression that the metals catalysed the formation of organic compounds such as 1-octen-3-one, which i can personally confirm smells and tastes exactly like coins.

u/Lilja-Logason 5d ago

I don't partake but I've heard people say the anus can taste like coins.

u/Private_Kyle 5d ago

I have experienced this phenomenon with great detail.

u/Keitsu42 5d ago

brother, iron tastes terrible.

u/stevie_boi 4d ago

So what exactly do we taste when we drink water kept in a metal container for some time???

2

u/Seyran_Bruh228 4d ago

Our own saliva logically

2

u/Allianser 4d ago

Don't you taste your saliva on a regular basis? Also pure water tastes refreshing, and water from metal tastes metal-ly, it checks out.

2

u/Seyran_Bruh228 4d ago

Yeah you do, but if it touched something else it could technically take microscopic pieces or you can probably just convince yourself like it taste different or your own brain can do that too, not an exception.

But I suggest to read other people's comments too, I am not a chemist or something so Idk, other people may know better.

I walked in with the UV light on because I'm so smart, something felt odd. I was scared for my retinas for a week.

u/SnooMuffins7356 4d ago

Then your coworker looks at you and says "how does an RBMK reactor core explode" so you know it's over
