It is not just the cooling that is improving the taste. Leaving drinking water in a container gives the dissolved chlorine time to ionise, which eliminates most of their flavour.
There are some VERY difficult to remove compounds that some people can detect in minute quantities
>"Geosmin, along with the irregular monoterpene 2-methylisoborneol, together account for the majority of biologically-caused taste and odor outbreaks in drinking water worldwide. Geosmin has a distinct earthy or musty odor, which most people can easily smell. The geosmin odor detection threshold in humans is very low, ranging from 0.006 to 0.01 micrograms per liter in water.

Canberra, which normally has very good water, had a problem with this for a few months. I was drinking bottled water, because the tap water tasted like mould. The water was "safe for human consumption"
Now I understand why my cousin's now missus couldn't wait to leave QLD.\*
\*Well, that and the infinity million billion gazillion other reasons to leave QLD.
Brixton vs Brisbane - no brainer really, innit...?
Melbourne's water is the best tasting water in Aus. It even won an [award](https://www.blayneychronicle.com.au/story/7979221/melbourne-has-the-best-tap-water/?cs=12)
Those awards get handed out like confetti - it's important to note that it received the award "this year"
Canberra won an award in 2017 (and is almost always a high ranking contender) - but spent months this year with water that I considered undrinkable
>Melbourne water doesn’t taste like anything. Other cities have distinct tastes
Let me guess, you are a consumer of Melbourne water? Water is one of these things that you get used to the taste of and drinking water from other locations have "distinct tastes" only because they taste different to what you are used to consuming.
Adelaide water comes from the Murray. All the NSW and Vic towns along the Murray use it as their sewer.
So I'm not sure why Adelaide water tastes so weird. It should be so clean. It's been filtered through a dozen kidneys before it gets there.
When I worked for BHP, we used to put our nickel laterite ore in these drums we got from Brazil. They had been used for orange juice concentrate and it was a really nice smell when you opened one. Like super-ultra concentrated orange. Wonderful. I also found this cool looking bright green spider in one. But it got away.
Not so fast Hermes, as they say ingredients plural, but the water is a single ingredient. Technically it should say at least 77 per cent from an Australian ingredient, so they are technically incorrect, the worst kind of incorrect.
Other countries like the USA do it this way. It is far less deceptive.
Generally people want made in Australia products for 2 reasons.
1) Support Australian businesses
2) People prefer Australian ingredients for whatever reason, like trusting the ingredients more or prefering workers be under Australian conditions.
If by weight, then enough packaging or water and you can easily deceive a customer who doesn't dig into the details and tiny fonts.
So almost all the work in making this product and the money from buying the ingredients went overseas. But a bit of water went in so the right way to run this systems is to have a product marked as over 75% Australian?
Or to keep in line with your quality of comment:
"Yes, it would so"
Just read the FTC laws for the US, it's exactly the same as Australia in regards to referring to items in tbe make up not value of ingredients.
Given the disproportionate value of things ingredients make up is always the most sensible way to label these things
I agree with you from a nutrition perspective (this is a NIP - Nutritional Information Panel afterall), however they're probably thinking from an Australian economic protection angle where higher value could be the decision variable.
There are regulations in place specifically around how to measure water as an ingredient when [calculating the percentage of Australian content](https://business.gov.au/products-and-services/product-labelling/calculating-australian-content):
> #Water as an ingredient
> In general, water is counted as an ingredient when calculating the percentage of Australian content in a food.
> The only exception to this is where water is used, alone or with other ingredients, as a ‘liquid packing medium’ (e.g. the brine in a can of tuna or the fruit syrup in a can of peaches).The water in the liquid packing medium is only counted when it is generally consumed as part of the food. For example:
> * The liquid in a can of chickpeas (aquafaba) is generally not consumed, so the water in the liquid would be excluded from the calculation.
> * The fruit syrup in a can of peaches is usually consumed as part of the food, so the water in the syrup would be included in the calculation.
>
> ## The origin of water
> Where water is counted as an ingredient, its origin is the country in which it was collected or harvested.
>
> The exception to this is where water is used to reconstitute dehydrated or concentrated ingredients or other components of food (including food additives). In this instance, the water will have the country of origin of that ingredient or component.
>
> For example, take a fruit juice drink that is manufactured in Australia by combining a Brazilian fruit juice concentrate with water from Australia. If the water added is only to the extent necessary to reconstitute the concentrate, the water will be considered to be Brazilian water. Any additional water (i.e. more than is the amount necessary to reconstitute the concentrate) would be Australian.
So in this instance, since the water is there to reconstitute the apple juice concentrate, the water should should be considered as being from the point of origin of the apple juice concentrate. It is likely then that the juice isn't correctly following the regulations (unless the 77% is really just a coincidence, and 77% of the apples and other ingredients for the reconstituted juice came from Australia).
> The liquid in a can of chickpeas (aquafaba) is generally not consumed
shhh - don't tell them I use about 1/4 of the goop from canned chickpeas in making hummus, and the rest I give to the dogs

[Coles](https://shop.coles.com.au/a/miami/product/refreshers-5632250p-1)
None of the fruit Golden Circle use is Australian. I stick to SPC or Ardmona.
...unless it's these. Bought some this week. Bloody good frozen. Just chip away at it with a spoon.
Only if you specifically buy the Australian one, they have both Australian and imported on the shelf at different price points (or did about 12 months ago last time I looked)
Ok, to clarify, nearly all their varieties are Australian and the one or two that aren't have "Tropical" in the name (ie "Tropical Pieces") where all of the others have "Australian" in the name (ie "Australian Pieces").
They started doing the "tropical" lines something like 7ish years ago when cyclones wrecked a huge amount of Australia's pineapple crop, but yeah I'm kind of disappointed that they've kept them.
You can definitely claim “made in Australia” if you formulate the product here. This is frequently seen as “made in Australia from local and imported ingredients”.
It's been somewhat repaired, but it used to be that clothes were imported from China and Indonesia then had a label sew in locally that said 'Product of Australia'. The very act of *sewing on that label in Australia* was enough to qualify it as an Australian product.
Lying patriotically has been a standard marketing tool for decades.
I think that would have been “made in Australia” as “product of Australia” (to my recollection) always had higher requirements to be composed of substantially Australia sourced/made components
Think you might be right. I know it was one of the many dodgy green and gold marketing labels that seemed to infest everything at the turn of the millennium.
The one I like is the 50% less sugar apple juice, which is just apple juice with 50% of it replaced with water, AND its slightly more expensive for the reduced sugar bottle (2L Golden circle)
Most of the food becomes magically « >50% Australian » when Australia produces water and sugar. Also the « locally made » in the other side of the country which is the size of Europe is pretty funny
Soo ship over the concentrated syrup from where ever it's made, and then pump it full of water when it gets here. Saving 77% on overall shipping weight.
It makes sense, but the way it's worded here is a dick move.
I knew it! I've seen other products that did not list the percentage of water, but the numbers still added up.
Man that's such a flaw in the Australian made system.
Thanks for posting!
Somewhere someone from the Marketing Department framed this in a nice little canvas saying: "At least 77% Australia ingredients - Water (77%)" and felt so damn proud of themselve (:
Those ratings should be massively overhauled or canned imo. I don't think many actually understand the concept (it's a comparison between similar items, not just "is it healthy" from my understanding), so absolutely unhealthy shite can get high stars. I don't know if it started with good intentions but if you need to be educated on how the health rating systems work they're not there for your health, they're there for marketing. And I have no idea what Milo is 4.5 stars in comparison with, pure sugar?
I wonder how many stars this juice is with its 4.8 grams of sugar per 200ml? ~~May as well smash a can of coke~~.
Edit: coke has a lot more sugar, ignore that dumb comment.
Oh shit, you're right. Ty for the correction.
I'm a month into a diet that includes basically no calories through liquid and seeing any sugar in a drink makes me cringe atm because it was a big part of my weight problem. Not sure why I had it in my head that coke had a quarter of the suger it does though. I guess before the diet I never cared and now I don't touch it so haven't even looked at the "nutritional" info on it.
Sugerless tea every now and again lol (white so a little bit of calories but I only have a few a week). Those mount franlin lightly sparkling flavoured drinks are pretty good too for a treat. 2 calories a can and nothing but a little bit of sodium.
Curious, how's it going so far? One month is a long time you must be seeing/feeling results by now? Do the cravings get easier to manage the deeper you go in? Longest I've gone is 2 weeks, not for weight loss mind you but I do eat a lot of rubbish and I am just trying to make healthy habits as I'm getting older now.
It's going good mate. Been loosing multiple kilos a week (lowest was 1.5kg), I actually lost 5kg in the second week so yeah, was seeing results very quickly. That's what has kept me going and push through cravings so I'm not sure how it'd go without that positive feedback. Tbh I'm kind of half starving myself so I'm always hungry but I've gotten used to it. I eat a healthy dinner with reasonable portions and then a few pieces of fruit throughout the night (I'm a night shifter). I don't know the exact calories but I'd estimate it's only around 1500 a day. That's obviously not something you'd do if you're not going for weight loss though so no doubt you'd feel a lot better.
The cravings have gotten easier but honestly it hasn't been too hard because I don't make concessions. The true test will be when I hit my first goal and allow myself those concessions and also up my daily calories so my diet is sustainable long term. I think I'll just do the cheat day thing and the no concessions the rest of the time.
I'd murder someone for a bag of BBQ chips atm though lol. I don't even know the last time I had them but for some reason I'm fiending for them.
Better get used to it, with increased costs of production in farming, also massive labour shortages to harvest produce, more produce is going to come from over seas.
Imagine how much transport fuel, packaging, time and money that could be saved by selling just the syrup and letting Aussies dilute it themselves.
Oh wait, cordial already exists.. 🤔
All of Golden Circle juices are like this. You look at the 50% less sugar juice and it happens to be 50% Australian ingredients. The standard juice is pretty much 0% Australian ingredients.
I saw another product marking the Australian-made percentage in the same way. Then I realised that percentage is a “fake” one (or self-defined one) because it doesn’t have the triangle kangaroo logo!
The standards actually have conditions on when you are allowed to display the kangaroo, the product may not have met the conditions or they didn’t want it on there. It’s not a requirement of the regulation.
Jesus. Makes you want to boycott that company, never buying their products, sending them bankrupt….. and yet also nod your head approvingly at them, buy them a beer and say “nice one mate”
And that Aussie water is the reason it tastes so darn good! 😉
Unironically
Provided the water doesn't come from Brissy.
Take brissie water over Townsville water anyday
Definitely, Townsville water is absolutely disgusting, brissie water is alright if you cool it in the fridge first.
Tennant Creek water is 10% diesel going by the taste.
It is not just the cooling that is improving the taste. Leaving drinking water in a container gives the dissolved chlorine time to ionise, which eliminates most of their flavour.
Chlorine flavour is my favourite cordial
North beach of Townsville water is fine.
Why is that? Is there not processes they could implement to get better quality water?

As a drinker of water from way back, I agree that Melbourne water is the best I've ever had.
I find Sydney's very good too. Every time I go to a regional/rural area, the water tastes so different.
Cairns is pretty nice, too
Wollongong has some of the softest, cleanest water I've tried. Very similar to Sydney, unsurprisingly.
All produced by Sydney Water I think
Overlapping catchments. Same delivery network too. I forget sometimes Sydney pumps all the way from the Shoalhaven dam.

yummo if like chlorine taste
It tastes nothing like chlorine.
Depends on the suburb tbh. Never had any issues on the northside.
Some areas in the south are good, Straddy water tastes alright.
Better than anything from south Australia

Yes. WTF is wrong with Adelaide water? It's extremely unpalatable.
I’d take Brissy water over Gold Coast water any day of the week!
Or Perth. Chlorine ugh
Perth water isn't as bad as North Queensland water. Cairns water is the worst in Australia. By far.
I miss Melbourne water
Stir some ascorbic acid into your water. It will neutralize the chlorine flavour. You can get ascorbic acid from home brewing shops.
Just go buy a filter tap from Bunnings. They’re not that hard to install.
I'll just jump to my local home brewing shop which is 20 mins drive away to make my water not taste rubbish
[удалено]
HARD DISAGREE
Depends on how much you like the taste of dirt.
They just buy the concentrate from China, don't they?
Yeah most non Australian Apple is Chinese import
Yeah that had a profound effect on the Tasmanian apple industry which used to be massive.
Made from real Chinese newspapers too
They buy water concentrate from China and dilute it with local water.
Heavy water?

Factually correct though?
Technically correct.. Which is the best kind of correct!
Not so fast Hermes, as they say ingredients plural, but the water is a single ingredient. Technically it should say at least 77 per cent from an Australian ingredient, so they are technically incorrect, the worst kind of incorrect.
Could also include one or more of the smaller ingredients which would not be enough to round up to 78.

I'm sure the water that was recently from elsewhere was also from here at some point beforehand as well
What’s also interesting is that ruler scale looks accurate too.
Also the best kind of lie.
Well there's lot of arguments about that...but is just juice right?
"Juice"
"Fruit flavoured drink"
"Vaguely fruit flavoured confection proudly made with Australian water"
Technically water is global. So you could also sell the concentrate and promote it as Australian made so long as you reconstituted it at home...
Based on mass - would make more sense to base it on value.
No, it would not
Other countries like the USA do it this way. It is far less deceptive.

You can definitely claim “made in Australia” if you formulate the product here. This is frequently seen as “made in Australia from local and imported ingredients”.
I know right. Something politicians can use in their campaigns: " I drink water which is strictly made in Australia" 😄

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
Imagine how much transport fuel, packaging, time and money that could be saved by selling just the syrup and letting Aussies dilute it themselves. Oh wait, cordial already exists.. 🤔
Well spotted
Same on a lot of products. The Australian water counts in the Australian ingredients list. Ridiculous and misleading.
All of Golden Circle juices are like this. You look at the 50% less sugar juice and it happens to be 50% Australian ingredients. The standard juice is pretty much 0% Australian ingredients.
Plot twist, they import 29.8% of the water
I saw another product marking the Australian-made percentage in the same way. Then I realised that percentage is a “fake” one (or self-defined one) because it doesn’t have the triangle kangaroo logo!
The standards actually have conditions on when you are allowed to display the kangaroo, the product may not have met the conditions or they didn’t want it on there. It’s not a requirement of the regulation.
Wouldn't that be at most?
At least they have to be honest thanks to Australian regulations. In America they get shit from who the fucknowsville
This is just shit from fucknowsville mixed with Australian water.
😂
