Love it. But only in glass bottles

HelenWheels · 26/08/2024 08:32

no

boysmuminherts · 26/08/2024 08:32

Ugh no. Reminds me of panadol!

newnamethanks · 26/08/2024 08:32

I prefer it with an L in it but overall, yes, I like it.

Namerchangee · 26/08/2024 08:32

Yes. I drink it by the gallon.

GoldViper · 26/08/2024 08:35

Yes, I'm trying to lose weight and it makes me feel full for longer.

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

DD was told to avoid fizzy drinks including sparkling water when she had braces.
However, plain sparkling water is only mildly acidic vs colas and fruit drinks, and many flavoured ones as they often include citric acid. This piece has info which suggests it's probably not really problematic.

To answer the OPs, I like it, I find the effervescence and mild acidity more refreshing than plain water, but I don't often buy it.

Edingril · 26/08/2024 09:12

No it's tastes metallic to me

Hedjwitch · 26/08/2024 09:13

No,tastes revolting

OldTinHat · 26/08/2024 09:16

100% yes!

ThePoshUns · 26/08/2024 09:21

Yes. So refreshing. I have a soda stream.

BCBird · 26/08/2024 09:22

Yup. Love it

longdistanceclaraclara · 26/08/2024 09:24

Also have a soda stream. I was getting plastic guilt, I was getting through 2l a day at least.

Perrier is my favourite brand, with ice and lemon.

AgnesX · 26/08/2024 09:24

Love it. Very refreshing with no calories and no sweeteners which are so pervasive.

I have dry mouth so a lack of stickiness is a winner.

Crunchymum · 26/08/2024 09:25

Now I don't drink, I find a glass of sparkling water (with cucumber or lime) is a delicious alternative.

Never used to like it though.

One DC loves it one DC hates and the other DC has a love / hate with it. She has to have a glass but she'll have a sip, pull a face, complain how fizzy it is, then have another sip and repeat until it's gone😁

Spidey66 · 26/08/2024 09:28

Yes, especially with squash

newtb · 26/08/2024 09:36

Yes

Watercoloursky · 26/08/2024 09:50

Not 'neat' - I find the flavour weirdly salty and bitter at the same time - but I like it with ice and lemon/lime, and drink pints and pints of fizzy squash while working from home in the summer.
