I love it. I set my SodaStream to "Violent".

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 fucking love sparkling water.

[–] FinasCupil@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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

H*ck yeah, I’ll have some Polar Orange Vanilla any day of the week over a Fanta, it fuckin’ rules

[–] gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that similar to a Schweppes?

[–] root_beer@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] Linuxduck@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I love how most the comments are the opposite.

... I too love sparkle water

[–] AwkwardPenguin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It just gives you tingles. I can't go without actually..

I love it. Its like 10 times more refreshing than regular water.

[–] F4rtEmp3r0r@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Grimlo9ic@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I like it because it helps break my Coke addiction.

EDIT: Coca-Cola* addiction

[–] snixyz@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I do like sparkling water very much!

We need a community for brandnew sentences!

[–] Waitwuhtt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly it's the best

seltzer_addicts@lemmy.world in shambles

[–] _ak@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] babydriver@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I exclusively drink sparkling water

[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I tried Perrier water (I think that's its name) once and it was awful.

[–] Nomecks@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The Dutch drink carbonated iced tea. Vile.

[–] Seven@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] FnordX@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sparkling water tastes like the Sprite machine is broken.

[–] tookmyname@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] chaosppe@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sparkling water is cheaper than regular water in the grocery store. Although I have a suspension it's due to weighing less.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

CO2 molecules are heavier and denser than water, and in a closed container, it isn't in gaseous form. So sparkling water is heavier than normal water of the same volume.

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.~
