That’s too close to accurate for an RFK hot take.

It’s because the water absorbs gas from the air, especially at warmer temperatures. Since the uncovered cup of water shares space with people - who exhale carbon dioxide - it’s the carbon dioxide, increased acidity, and other absorbed gasses you taste.

Now for the clincher. Exhaled carbon dioxide is breath leaving the body. So, ghosts.
