First, a note on my independence
My positive review of mug water has not been influenced by the board of SimbaTiger.com, Tiger's box investment company, or the lifetime supply of wet food that Tiger sent to my house.
The wet food is a separate matter. I am perfectly capable of eating and forming opinions at the same time.
After reading Tiger's mug-water article, I decided to investigate for myself. I approached the subject with an open mind and an available tongue. My conclusion was immediate: 10 squawks out of 10. Squawks are my reviewing scale, and I do not give them out quietly.
Beyond original-flavored water
Mug water just tastes better and fresher than filtered, running fountain water. Humans use mugs instead of fountains for a reason. They do not crouch beside a little motor on the floor when they want a drink. I have been paying attention.
Fountain water tastes like original-flavored water. Mug water has something more. The dust and natural spices give it a tangy taste that is both acquired and delicious. There are layers. There is character. There is occasionally something to watch floating by.
Original-flavored water was only the beginning.
Some palates may need time to appreciate the complexity. Fortunately, I have a very sophisticated little mouth.
Please refer to my selfie.
Since making the switch, I have noticed improved strength, mood, and intelligence. The evidence is right at the top of this page: I can now take selfies.
Look at the paw reaching toward the camera. Look at the framing. Look at my face. I am the subject, the photographer, and the person deciding that we got it on the first try.
I believe this demonstrates considerable intellectual progress. The lighting was a creative decision.
My final, entirely independent verdict
Better flavor. Fresher taste. An excellent accompaniment to wet food, which I mention only because I happen to have quite a lot of it now.
Thank you to Tiger for bringing this important subject to my attention. My opinion remains my own. So does the wet food.
Ten squawks. One very good selfie.
Please open a tin.
