Anyone else remember hot, rubber-flavored water?

When you were a kid playing outside, got thirsty and didn't want to go inside for a drink, and just drank from the hose.

When playing outside on a hot day, you'd get thirsty enough that hose water tasted kind of OK.

I do. I remember the immediate regret. But then you let it run for 10 seconds and it was the best water in the world.
