Thread: Sparkling water is the worst filth drink known to man, y/n?

    Ugh, I don't like sparkling water. It either has no flavor and just tastes like weird stale water with bubbles...or it only has a little bit of flavor and just tastes like diluted soda. I'd rather drink regular cold water (or champagne...if you really need a carbonation fix or something ) than sparkling water.

    Whenever I visit my family in Germany that's all the water they drink. They cut it with orange juice or cherry grenadine. That way is tolerable, but by itself it's really not so great. Sorta like an Italian soda.

    I'll drink it, but if I want water I prefer ice water. I don't need bubbles.

    That is seltzer, right? Because if it is, that's about 90% of what I drink. Chilled seltzer is the most refreshing drink on earth.

    When having dinner with a lady who doesn't drink alcohol (means no getting a bottle of wine for the table) I generally will drink water over juice but if it's going to cost me £3.95 a bottle for a liter of water it better have something to it more than H2O so carbonated water it generally will be. Otherwise it's around 3 - 4 liters of still water a day.

    Oh you mean SODA water?

    That's a mix, not a drink.

    Recently I worked at a film festival and some prissy woman with a scarf on during summer time came up to me and asked for sparkling water. I was like, "What is sparkling water?" She seemed shocked that I didn't know what it was. It's like bish, I'm black, we drink Poland Spring.

    I like some flavored fizzy water, but not water with gas.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I have gone very, very thirsty rather than drink filthy sparkling water before. It is absolutely vile and filled with haet and should be inflicted on nobody who hasn't committed the gravest of crimes.

    My boyfriend works in a restaurant downtown, so he gets lots of doctors, lawyers, accountants, and people who live in the most expensive neighborhood in the city, so they're so weird about what they order. Lots of sparkling water, and one dude ordered the special tea and was like "hey this tea tastes different when I make it at home. Make it the way I do at home." They do leave a crapton in tips, but all tips go to the owners :<

    Wait do they seriously make a lower minimum wage? For once in my life I'm glad I'm stuck in retail hell.

    Fizzy water is fizzy water.
