I fucking love sparkling water.

[-] FinasCupil@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years 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 0 points 2 years ago

Is that similar to a Schweppes?

[-] root_beer@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 love it. I set my SodaStream to "Violent".

[-] AwkwardPenguin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

I love how most the comments are the opposite.

... I too love sparkle water

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.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Pasta sauce? Prithee, to what end result?

[-] F4rtEmp3r0r@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

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

I like it because it helps break my Coke addiction.

EDIT: Coca-Cola* addiction

I do like sparkling water very much!

Sparkling water tastes like the Sprite machine is broken.

[-] tookmyname@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] mozzarellamommy@waveform.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Thalyssa@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I don't get it too. It tasting like TV static is an apt description.

[-] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] DirkMcCallahan@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Jack Regent speaking the truth to power.

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 2 years 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.

It mimics soda in that it triggers the same release as I get from chugging soda. It's a particular "refreshing" feeling that makes my eyes water. I suspect for soda it was the sugar addiction that gave me the release, but because both are carbonated it tricks my brain. Or maybe it's the carbonation alone that triggers it.

Does anyone experience the same?

[-] Bender_B_Rodriguez@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

100%. I especially get a craving for coke after having carbs or fried foods. I recently tried Topo and have fallen in love with it since it fills that craving. But make no mistake, other sparkling waters to me taste like shit. Topo just hits different.

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.~

We need a community for brandnew sentences!

[-] rishabh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, exactly

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.
