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.
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
Cold sparkling water is the way
Loblaws in Canada sells carbonated water in soda flavours.
The cola one is one of my favourites. Orange cream soda and regular cream soda are also good. Root beer one is also good.
These make excellent mixers for when you don’t want extra sugar in your cocktails, but she’s take some trial and error to make work
carbonated water in soda flavours
We just call those diet sodas.
False, diet is fake sugars which makes my tongue feel fuzzy.
I can drink soda all day (I don’t, but you know what I mean), but a sparkling anything just tastes horrible.
Heh, there’s been a can in my fridge for months now that someone left after a party. I need to get them to come back and drink it.
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.
But sparkling water is kiki and a CRT tv is bouba
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.
tf kind of mocktail is this?
It’s basically fizzy Gatorade. The salt is electrolytes, and there’s natural sugar in the juice.
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.
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.
Carbonic acid
You may be thinking of mineral water? Or tonic, which has quinine. I love a good high-tds mineral water, don’t much care for tonic though.
I like my spicy water.
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.
Spindrift
Yeah. Their pineapple one is pretty good as well.
Spindrift?

Discount grocery store house brand is TV static. No doubt
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 it.
I always associated it with the smell of the static charge that your TV gave off with one of those old tube TVs.
Holding your tounge close to a charged crt really tastes like sparkling water
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
