Lol I hate the taste of bottled water more. I don't know why... it just tastes stale unless it's freezing cold in which case I think your taste buds become numb and cannot do their jobs.

I actually haven't really tasted the water on campus. I have drank it but it has no taste to me. But I guess we have different sensations of taste.

I haven't really tasted the water on campus either, just because I don't drink from fountains usually. The water at my house in Hamilton tastes awful though. And other people who live off campus have said they have the same problem. It might just be a problem with the pipes in older houses though. Or maybe its because I'm not used to it.

Generally if water has any taste at all though something is wrong

Lol you guys should really get a filter for your house water... the jug is probably best. Although for some reason water tastes funny after it's filtered... and it doesn't taste funny before. It's a new filter too o.O strange.
Think I should change it or do a lot of people notice that?

I have one, it just doesn't help enough to make it drinkable I filter before cooking with the water though.

I would personally try changing the filter first, if it doesn't help it might just be you.

I'm surprised only 1 person said 1L chocolate milks. I see people around campus drinking those all the time! I find it kinda disgusting. I love chocolate milk... But not that much at one time!

Coke! I drink about 3-4 cans a day. I’m trying to stop, but I’m just tooo addicted. It also helps me stay awake. Coffee’s good too.

Anyways, beautiful things.

Anime/Manga is my drug. Seriously, I remember come time for the exams in April, I happened to read 300+ chapters of History's Strongest Disciple Kenicihi two nights before a big exam (forget what it was). It ended up with my repeating "alright, that's it. Last chapter then on to studying" for about 200 chapters. Somehow, I managed to pull off me telling myself that same thing over and over again until I reached the last uptodate page. And it was then that I realized I had messed up big time. FML~

As well, MacDonalds; When you got the munchies, it's your best friend when you've smoked some weed or are totally wasted. However, they pumped up the price for Double Cheese Burgers from $1.39 to $1.69. And the tasty Snack Wraps also jumped up in price, and apparently It's a deal if I buy 2 snack wraps for $3.98 when a single one costs $1.99. I'm not sure why they advertise that, but apparently I'm supposed to be saving something according to the menus at MacDonalds on Mohawk & Upper Gage.

Responding to an earlier post, depending on your stomach acid levels, highly acidic products like ketchup and orange juice could lead to you passing your extra acid in your urine resulting in a good amount of pain.

My reflexologist told me and my doctors have told me for years that the amount of ketchup I eat is not good for my overall health.

As a general tip, if you suffer from urinary discomfort or a change in diet brings about a lot of pain, cut back on your fast food, your ketchup, your spices and your super acidic foods and it may (may) make a difference.

It has to be said because we all have kidneys and if they found out you weren't discussing them, they'd actually be really sad.

On topic again: I enjoy coffee and have been drinking it since a very very young age but am cutting back now. Not only does it get ridiculously expensive but it's difficult to find milk free coffees that aren't very strong and I develop a tolerance to it rendering them ineffective when I really need them.

I've carried an English toffee cappuchino to two of my 3 midterms this week though Milk free (Y)

Hahaha, I was always wondering why you always have a can of coke in Geo class. My poli sci prof (dr. alway) has coke all the time as well!
