The Monotony of Water

Increasingly, I've been seeing commercials showing me how I can give my water a jolt of flavor. Crystal Light, which I like to make at home, has a product for a single serving that you can add to your boring old bottled water or just a glass of regular tap water.

But that's not good enough, that plain tasteless water is just too ordinary. So the folks at PUR have made a water filter system that adds flavor right at the tap! Amazing, you'll never have to taste water again.

Has it really come to this? That even our water is "boring" and needs to be altered? I've met people who say, "I hate drinking water, there's no taste, so plain". Hate water? I'm expecting them to follow up with "You know, air is pretty boring too, there's no flavor". Soon we'll have masks that give our air a nice cherry flavor.
