I fucking love sparkling water.
H*ck yeah, I’ll have some Polar Orange Vanilla any day of the week over a Fanta, it fuckin’ rules
Is that similar to a Schweppes?
Same. I didn’t always love it, but once it grew on me… can’t get enough.
I live in Argentina, so that could be why I like it, though, we drink a lot of sour things like mate, or some vermuths that are very sour, or fernet, or terma which is like a sour soda, we also drink sparkling water along with coffee, I don’t know if that’s what other countries do.
I love it. I set my SodaStream to “Violent”.
It just gives you tingles. I can’t go without actually…
I like it because it helps break my Coke addiction.
EDIT: Coca-Cola* addiction
As an appreciator of sparkling water, I still found this comment hilarious.
I love how most the comments are the opposite.
… I too love sparkle water
I do like sparkling water very much!
I love it. Its like 10 times more refreshing than regular water.
I exclusively drink sparkling water
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!
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.
This guy knows mucous

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