sparkling water

i tried pamplemousse perrier and while good, i didnt get the feeling that i could drink it for an eternity. that's how i feel about sparkling water without added flavor.

it's almost as if the bubbles clean the water, making it colder, better. it's like drinking liquid god.

yes!

i tend to stick with gerolsteiner, but it is rather expensive.

fancy man enjoys sparkling water.

haven't had it, will definitely grab it next time i see it. I just had a bottle of voss the other day, speaking of expensive sparkling water, and it was good, but not good enough for however much it cost in the restaurant we were. though we got lots of looks from nearby tables wondering what the fuck we were drinking.

not to mention how it dissolves stuff that is stuck to your teeth. It's like taking a mouth bath with every sip.

my room is littered with seltzer water bottles. I used to hate the stuff when I was younger, now it's the only thing I drink (don't like sugary sodas, my tap water is gross, and I can't justify spending money on straight up bottled water, ever). What was said about seltzer as a hangover cure is so incredibly correct, I mean all water is good for a hangover I guess, but an ice cold seltzer first thing in the morning when I'm severely dehydrated is one of the most refreshing experiences ever. On regular work days, I have my cup of coffee to wake up and then it's seltzer from then on. I consume a scary quantity of water.

warm seltzer on the other hand is an acquired taste.

YESYESYES

i love all sorts of sparkling water. i hate sugary drinks, and i get burnt out on aspartame and start to feel icky. sparking water is just perfect. mo bubbly mo betta. here in the NW we have a nice brand called Talking Rain. they have flavored ones too but plain is obviously the best. there's a lime flavored one that has no sugar or artificial sweeteners, so that's pretty cool too.

Once I ran out of sparkling water and ran to some rinkydink drugstore for my fix, and got a Canada Dry soda water thing, but it was loaded with corn syrup and I cried inside for an hour or so.

my sister got a nice water carbonation whatsit for christmas. she was going over board with the fizz, i took a drink and the bubbles hit me like :POW! cool idea

These are the only sparkling water drinks I like, and damn are they cheap (about 34p a bottle). Pretty sure they're loaded with with crap but who cares at that price.

Still, water (flat) is the greatest drink and nothing will top it.

Forgot to mention sparkling water is disgusting.

i drink loads of klarbrunn raspberry sparkling water. just a hint of raspberry flavor and sooo fizzy. also it's like 99 cents for a 6 pack of 20 oz bottles.

Opening post almost made me cry, Fred. Bless your soul.

how are your onions spratters ?

I think they are ok thanks

love love LOVE Sparkling Water!

its ok but id ont drink it to much cuz i care about the eartjh and i dont want the oceans and lakes to become carbon so the fish die when everyone is peeing out sparkling water and it evaporats then rains down

Its nice. Something about carbonated drinks makes them much more thirst quenching.

All I drink is Spa Marie-Henriette.

It's slightly carbonated.

The supermarket over here sells a cheap imitation that's even better than the original but obviously doesn't have the same pretentious sounding name.

I think every german family has one (german people love bubbles, probably because of the beer).

definitely. I had to figure out "wasser ohne gas" (just plain water) real quick

yeah. it's kinda salty

 

what? that's weird. that's how i felt a long time ago when i first had it. maybe it has a phatom salty taste because you are expecting sweetness with the bubbles... but it shouldn't taste salty, why would it be salty?

I think the "salty" sensation is because many sparkling waters have quinine added, which gives the classic bitter/kinda salty/kinda :puke: sensation. It's definitely acquired--what's turning Fred on is the same that's turning you off I think.

oooh no no, you're talking about tonic water, which is kind of nasty , and definitely a different thing

i really hope the haters aren't confusing tonic water with sparkling water.

Tonic water is good for gin and tonics, really good, but I can't imagine what else you would use it with. Maybe some other liqour, but do people just drink it?

4 pages about sparkling water. alright

no one has posted this yet, yay!
