You've probably heard that in the 90s of the last century, train conductors added baking soda to tea.
We tell you why conductors poured soda into tea and why they don’t do that now.
Why did they put soda in tea before?
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.
Baking soda really does enhance both the flavor and color of the tea.
Moreover, tea with soda is an effective remedy for heartburn.
Now there are no problems with the quality of tea, so the conductors no longer use the life hack with soda.
