    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.

    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 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.

      They’re not wrong. It’s indecipherable chaos for your tastebuds. Bubbles are exploding on the top of your tongue, and your taste buds are randomly teased by the faintest hint of fruit flavor… that is, when they’re not being assaulted by carbonation.

      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.
