It’s probably crossed my palate at some point. I half-suspect that I’m tasting something that leaches out of the plastic bottles into the water, rather than something that’s supposed to be there, when I react badly to bottled water; I’d probably need to do tests with empty bottles and tap water and a blindfold to be sure.
Yeah Alicorn, I noticed something similar with a few of the plastic bottles I’ve come across. Sometimes they taste weird, or smell funny or change the taste of what’s put in them. Hopefully whatever is leeching out of the bottles isn’t carcinogenic.

The material the bottle is made out of should be printed on it somewhere (probably the bottom, by the recycling triangle). PET or PETE is considered safe by the FDA, as well as a few others, but there are some that are known to leach. Also, reusing bottles and heating bottles are generally poor ideas, unless you know the material it’s made from is designed for that.
