He might have a point hm

Sparkling water is delicious

It't what you get used to. I used to drink colas, but since I changed to sparkling water, sodas all taste like drinking molassis

I love drinking TV static. Sodas are too damn sweet and unhealthy. Flavored sparkling water / seltzer is crisp and just different enough from regular water to keep it interesting.

It's water with all the bitterness of carbonic acid with nothing to cut the bitterness. It's even worse when it contains quinine. 🤢

But sparkling water is kiki and a CRT tv is bouba

Sparkling water doesn't just taste like water with bubbles in it. It has a weird chemical taste on top of everything else which there's some reason people seem to ignore.

I like it.

In the summer, you put a heavy pinch of sea salt and lemon juice in a glass of sparkling water and it's totally amazing. I was so upset with myself having only tried this at the end of August.

Iced cold sparkling spring water is the way to go in the UK.

I emphasize "spring" because in the UK for the seller to put that on the label, the water actually has to be bottled from a proper natural water spring, no additional added shit (aside from the carbonation).

I used to hate sparkling water for the reasons listed above, but since I have been drinking less high sugar carbonated drinks, that super cold sparkling water has helped massively as a great substitute, especially when having it with a meal.

When I was traveling around eastern Europe years ago, I kept making the mistake of getting sparkling water when I would ask for a bottle of water as that would be the default choice. Sometimes they'd ask "with gas?" but they didn't always ask, and I'm too stupid to learn from my mistakes.

I like my spicy water.

Discount grocery store house brand is TV static. No doubt

I always associated it with the smell of the static charge that your TV gave off with one of those old tube TVs.

Flavored sparkling water is where its at. Theres also a brand, that has squeezed fruit juices in it. I forgot its name. But they have a lime mint one that slaps.

I prefer plain sparkling water. No flavors or sweetener, just bubbles. Unfortunately my bladder doesn't agree that it's the best way to consume liquid, so now I'm dehydrated all the time because I can't convince myself to just drink still water like a normal human

Oh he's right.

wakes me up better than coffee

I like, kinda sweet taste, not strong sweet but kinda lightly sweet.

its like unflavored beer. Alkaseltzer

se jermins lov it

Sparkling water is sour but I love the bubbles.

Exposure therapy

Always prefered "medium" sparkly. Still water is just bland. Sure you can drink it if there's nothing else but it's just bland. When it's too sparkly though it kind of distracts from the taste of the water itself too much I think, which also isn't great because it subjectively feels like you didn't drink that much because it doesn't feel as refreshing. So I like the middle ground the most.

My bubbles.

I was like this for a long time. Turns out we're all way too used to 70g of sugar in a 20oz drink, which is pretty crazy if you think about it objectively.

When I was younger I used to love vintage seltzer so goddamn much but then i hit my mid 30s and had to switch the regular ass water because it huwt my tummy.

At one point to save money and time I just got a carbonation cap and a c02 tank from a homebrew shop. It was like $100 but I drank so much that it paid for itself in a few months

i don't know how people like any carbonated drinks. i drank orange juice soda once and it was horrible. the taste was ok but the weird carbonated aspect is just unbearable.

My wife and daughter go through a case of that Bubly stuff in less than a week
