You’ve probably heard that in the 90s of the last century, train conductors added baking soda to tea..
We tell you why conductors added soda to tea and why they don’t do it now.
Why they used to add soda to tea
As reported by the Zen channel TravelManiac, citing a train conductor, this was done to improve the taste and appearance of the drink.
At that time, the quality of tea on trains left much to be desired, so conductors corrected the situation with soda.
Soda really makes both the taste and color of tea richer.
Moreover, tea with soda is an effective remedy for heartburn.
Now there are no problems with the quality of tea, so conductors no longer use the soda life hack.
