Soda water isn't sparkling water though

Lol to the pedant on the sparking water thread 😆
It's fizzy water. Call it what you like but that's what it is!

BobbyBiscuits · 25/08/2024 21:33

I hate it. But I do like vodka and soda. And I really love coca cola. So I don't really understand why?!

imnottoofussed · 25/08/2024 21:34

No hate it.

Also aren't sparkling and soda water different? I don't like either but thought they were different drinks.

Hardlyworking · 25/08/2024 21:39

No. It's vile. Tastes of pins and needles.

2dogsandabudgie · 25/08/2024 21:41

Is it bad for your teeth? I thought in fizzy drinks like coke, lemonade etc it's the acid that's bad for your teeth, but sparkling water is carbonated, so no acid in it.

Anyone on here know?

No! It’s like drinking static

Yes! This.

ProvincialLady2024 · 25/08/2024 21:46

It's the most refreshing drink.

NewYearNewJob2024 · 25/08/2024 21:47

No - it's disgusting!

Portfun24 · 25/08/2024 21:49

I like it if I'm hungover. My sister says its like drinking pins and needles 🤣

Sockmate123 · 25/08/2024 21:50

Yes. Can't stomach still water

MyblackVWTiguan · 25/08/2024 21:52

Love it. Drink still though due to teeth

LuminousCrystalFox · 25/08/2024 20:39

I didn’t use to but I’ve become a convert, I’ve only ever had San Pellegrino though. No idea if they taste wildly different brand to brand?

I really dislike the taste of Badoit. Every other brand/no brand is fine.

Back to the OP, yes. It's my main drink.

StarDolphins · 25/08/2024 21:55

Love it!

SquigglePigs · 25/08/2024 21:55

Yes, absolutely love it. Always plain though. I have a soda stream at home to minimise plastic waste though.

Redwood48 · 25/08/2024 21:57

I drink tons of the stuff. I hate how much plastic it uses though. I tried a soda stream but it just wasn't fizzy enough.

I mix mine with squash (have several flavours) and it's delicious!

Redwood48 · 25/08/2024 21:58

Timeturnerplease · 25/08/2024 20:05

I drink about two litres of it a day. My dream is to be able to afford a sparkling water tap in my kitchen. Soda Stream does ok, but it’s such a faff.

Omg a what?!? Sparkling water tap you say, how does that work?! That would be my dream.

snowlady4 · 25/08/2024 21:59

Yes but only certain brands of it

My dentist said it is very bad for teeth and it has eroded my enamel

cakewitch · 25/08/2024 22:05

I find it makes me even thirstier than before I've drank it.. but now I'm oddly really craving a glass of it.

AdaColeman · 25/08/2024 22:13

Yes, I love it, especially Badoit and Spa.

twentysevendresses · 25/08/2024 22:15

No.

gamerchick · 25/08/2024 22:15

I crave fizz when I'm lacking in calcium. But otherwise can take it or leave it.

OnlyFrench · 25/08/2024 22:17

@Redwood48 some of the water fountains in Paris dispense sparkling water. Worth visiting just for that!

Cheesecakelunch · 25/08/2024 22:18

Yes love it.

Jifmicroliquid · 25/08/2024 22:20

No. It tastes like I expect that weird static on a TV screen would taste. Weird.
