I fucking love sparkling water.
Same. I didn’t always love it, but once it grew on me… can’t get enough.
H*ck yeah, I’ll have some Polar Orange Vanilla any day of the week over a Fanta, it fuckin’ rules
Is that similar to a Schweppes?
It just gives you tingles. I can't go without actually..
I have my own diy carbonation system. I love carbonated water, and it is absolutely amazing mixing it with juice or simple syrup, or just carbonating whatever liquid I feel like, like pasta sauce.
I exclusively drink sparkling water
I do like sparkling water very much!
I like it because it helps break my Coke addiction.
EDIT: Coca-Cola* addiction
I love how most the comments are the opposite.
... I too love sparkle water
I love it. Its like 10 times more refreshing than regular water.
I disagree. The carbonic acid tingling on your tongue is what makes water not boring to me. I have to be really thirsty to actually want to drink uncarbonated water, but with some bubbles in it, it actually makes it a joy to drink.
I, after 29 years of hating sparkling water, exclusively prefer sparkling water now and have been hydrating much more than I used to. It's just water but with more fun and bubbles!
We need a community for brandnew sentences!
Yes, exactly
Honestly it's the best
I love sparkling water, it tastes like tv static, white noise and numb limbs
As an appreciator of sparkling water, I still found this comment hilarious.
The Dutch drink carbonated iced tea. Vile.
It mimics soda in that it triggers the same release as I get from chugging soda. It's a particular "refreshing" feeling that makes my eyes water. I suspect for soda it was the sugar addiction that gave me the release, but because both are carbonated it tricks my brain. Or maybe it's the carbonation alone that triggers it.
Does anyone experience the same?
Yes. The sight pain of the carbonation is what I like. It's like the cold in ice cream, hiding but slowly giving way to the flavor and sweet and creamy. But in soda like cola, it's the spicy/pain giving way to an acidic/sweet aftertaste. So, to save money, not destroy my teeth, and to not just drink soda all the time, an at-home carbonator works great. Then, if you really need sweet or something, a little squirt of mio, lemon, or whatever other flavor add-in is fantastic. And if you buy that one carbonator, you can carbonate whatever you want, like milk or juice.
I swear to you, also, the type of container AND straw AND ICE matters way more than you know. McDonald's has put an insane amount of science and engineering behind their soft drinks. Those straws are some of the best in the world, and nobody even knows. Think about the comparison to the experience to a paper straw and you will start to understand.
I tried Perrier water (I think that's its name) once and it was awful.
My wife hates it, but I have always enjoyed it. It also works excellent to breakup thick mucous when you have had radiation to the neck area. Your thin mucous from salivary glands stop producing, while the thicker saliva keeps being formed. Regular water does hardly anything, the sparkling water breaks it up.
Sparkling water is cheaper than regular water in the grocery store. Although I have a suspension it's due to weighing less.
CO2 molecules are heavier and denser than water, and in a closed container, it isn't in gaseous form. So sparkling water is heavier than normal water of the same volume.
Welp, good science knowledge right there. There goes my theory.
Don’t feel too bad. It was always more of a hypothesis, really.
Sparkling water tastes like the Sprite machine is broken.
I’ve noticed that people who hate sparkling water are often soda drinkers. Makes sense.
I like it... :(
I was trying to reduce the amount of Coke I was drinking. I discovered it was the fizz I liked, not the syrup. Now I have a sodastream machine I use to make fizzy water.
