I just went down to the kitchen to fill my water bottle. I took a big swig and spat it out right away. It tasted like swimming pool water! I had forgotten to fill my bottle with filtered water and used water direct from the tap. When one is used to the chlorine taste, it is not so bothersome. Once one gets used to almost no chlorine taste, the chlorine taste can be overwhelming.
Something similar happened to us with salt after living in Europe for six years. Most American cooking, especially restaurant cooking tasted really salty to us. This is still true after over thirty years.
I like to say excess salt belongs on only two "foods" - pretzels and the rims of Margarita glasses.
