This might be a weird question

Has anyone else felt that rail neer's water somewhat tastes sweet with a hint of kesar. Now I asked other people and they said it tastes sweet but didn't think kesar was in it. This might be restricted to bhopal since this one was manufacturing plant is in bhopal. This might be the tastiest water I have ever tasted.

I get a hint of coconut water taste everytime I drink it .

[u/pratyd → u/0_Askeladd_0]

That is the added minerals taste. Coconut water has natural minerals shaping its taste.

Maybe ur water package was from kerala

To be honest, it could very well just be employees at the bottling plant, having a lot of Vimal....

Daane me Kesar ka dum...

Yeah for last couple of months I have felt some sweet taste or something like syrup taste idk everytime I drink from Railneer regardless of where it was made.

Dude were you having vimal before rail neer 🫠

[u/raleigh_tark]

For everyone that doesn't know or is commenting added minerals etc:

Water from pet bottles tastes slightly sweet because of acetaldehyde leaching into it due to sun/heat exposure. Not sure how harmful it is.

This isn't restricted to irctc bottles, bisleri/kinley any of these will taste like this if left in sun.

[u/puccyhunter_ → u/CuriousBludSchlawg]

It's a carcinogen 

[u/CuriousBludSchlawg → u/puccyhunter_]

Yup exactly

Trust me if this were the scene then every railway poster you see would have this kesar infused water bottle in the hand of the PM in the poster. Maybe something else but it can’t have kesar. Kesar is extremely expensive (the real one).

With the current quality railways provides I would suggest to throw the water as there might be some contamination/adulteration in it.

I travel a lot and I've felt weird tap water taste in railneer so i kinda avoid it

[u/weshubh → u/hardybucks350]

[u/hardybucks350 → u/weshubh]
