    I’ve to admit, I’m a sparkling water guy (I carbonate my tap water). Then again I’m German and as I just read we seem to be a bit ‘special’ in that regard.

      Yes, sparkling water tastes much better!

      I was surprised you need to specify for tap water at restaurants, otherwise they’ll assume you want carbonated

      That’s interesting. My grandfather was German and they always had a soda siphon in the house ready in the fridge. They didn’t drink alcohol much other than wine, so it wasn’t for that. That makes a lot more sense now.

    Sparkling water is awesome. The real reason to skip this guy’s booth is because bottled water is gross. Especially if it’s been baking in the sun like this all day. Mmm plastic.

    Dude, practically all I drink is unsweetened fruit flavored sparkling water. So good. Essence of fruit without any sugar or sweetener.

      Same. I like carbonation and so the options are soda (bad for you) or beer (bad for you). And I enjoy both but I don’t want to drink them every day.

      I originally didn’t like sparkling water, then I found flavors I liked and realized it’s a great, zero-calorie alternative to any other beverage for dinner.

        Make sure to drink plenty of plain water though. Carbonated water can make enamel brittle, specially if it’s citrus flavored, as it will be more acidic. I really don’t understand the North Americans (and other affluent cultures) fixation with sparkling water. But I come from a culture that used to be addicted to malta. So whatever floats your boat.

      I’ve become addicted to the limoncello or coconut flavored la Croix.

      I have no idea why people are so against sparkling water.

        Children don’t like bitter acid water.

        Personally I’m just pissed everyone stopped making caffeinated seltzer for some reason.

          Weird. All the kids in my family love it. They always ask for “pop water” when they come over. Also Target still sells caffeinated seltzer.

        I agree. I love sparkling water, but flat sparkling water is just vile and completely different from water which was never carbonated.

        Totally thought that taste was the carbonation

          Carbonation changes the taste of water, the carbon dioxide will take long to completely leave the water, and stale carbonated water tastes awful.
