    As an appreciator of sparkling water, I still found this comment hilarious.

      They’re not wrong. It’s indecipherable chaos for your tastebuds. Bubbles are exploding on the top of your tongue, and your taste buds are randomly teased by the faintest hint of fruit flavor… that is, when they’re not being assaulted by carbonation.

    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.

      Pasta sauce? Prithee, to what end result?

    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.

        Too well unfortunately. It gets so thick during treatment that spitting it out is like the magician doing the endless scarf trick.

    I don’t get it too. It tasting like TV static is an apt description.

    Sparkling water tastes like the Sprite machine is broken.

    I like it because it helps break my Coke addiction.

    EDIT: Coca-Cola* addiction

    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!

    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 love sparkling water, it tastes like tv static, white noise and numb limbs
