Water Tastes Better in The old Tin Ladle

Remember the old tin ladle that hung next the the kitchen sink in Granpa's house. Oh how I loved to go to his house so I could go straight to the kitchen sink and get a drink of the heavenly Heber water out of that ladle. I still love to drink out of tin cups or mixing bowls, there is something about it that makes the water so much better. Even Mom placed a small metal mixing bowl by the kitchen sink to mimic granpa's ladle. I am not sure if it was the tin that made it so tasty or whether it was the fact that it never went through dishsoap, that I ever saw anyway.
