homework help: Do you drink bottled water or tap water? Do you think that one tastes better? Do you think you could tell the difference in a blind taste test? For this discussion board, I'd like you to do a simple experiment at home or at school.

Do a taste test with a subject of your choosing (it could be you!), testing bottled water vs. tap (or water fountain vs. tap, etc). You can conduct the experiment any way you choose...if you can't find two different water sources, you could even TELL your subjects that they are testing bottled vs. tap, but give them two cups of the same water!

Post a simple explanation and the results on this discussion board (150-word minimum). Your posting MUST contain an experiment.
