      Same. I didn’t always love it, but once it grew on me… can’t get enough.

        I live in Argentina, so that could be why I like it, though, we drink a lot of sour things like mate, or some vermuths that are very sour, or fernet, or terma which is like a sour soda, we also drink sparkling water along with coffee, I don’t know if that’s what other countries do.

          Which one? I assume the former, as Fanta is a global brand… Polar is a brand of sparkling water, and one flavor is orange vanilla, a beloved flavor here in the States (popularized by orange vanilla popsicles, called “creamsicles”). I like it because It’s a good reproduction of a classic orange soda flavor, without the cloying sweetness of soda.

    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.

        Sorry, I threw that in there as a deadpan joke :P

        I’m pretty sure it would do some pretty extreme foaming given all the protein and misc substances. Something like OJ even does not take to carbonation easily. It erupts like a violently shaken soda.

    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’ve noticed that people who hate sparkling water are often soda drinkers. Makes sense.

      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 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.

    And something similar to Coke.
