Styrofoam

· 🌡️ 20°F

Today I want to Bagel Jay's on Delaware for lunch. Besides the sandwich being good they served my fountain drink in a styrofoam cup. Is it just me or does a fountain soda just taste better in styrofoam? I have always been able to taste certain things that others don't seem to. For example I can taste the difference between say Poland Spring water and Dasani. I am not saying that I am special or anything but I notice the difference. Although styrofoam is bad for our environment I sure do enjoy drinking from one. Maybe it's the carcinogens that are released that gives it that oh so great flavor.

    Styrofoam reminds me of dentistry in the 80’s. Remember when they choked you with a Styrofoam tray full of ‘strawberry yogurt flavored’ fluoride. Anytime I touch the stuff my teeth clench.

    Water on the other hand, I can TOTALLY tell the difference in the taste. I had to go through 5 brands before I found one I liked here.

    You are correct that it does taste different in styrofoam not sure if it is better or not but sometimes if the paper cup is lined you can taste the lining. Just like it tastes different in glass, metal or plastic but to me I don't know as there is one container I prefer.

    Oh come on you know you think you're more specialer than the rest of us. Just admit it.

    That is crazy, I think it tastes different too, but bad. I feel like you can taste the styrofoam, lol. I have never heard anyone say that styrofoam tastes good, although I do remember enjoying to chew on styrofoam cups as a kid.
