I think you deserve every once of your dirty little habit. Enjoy!

Naughty1205 · 06/08/2017 18:20

Love it too!

£5.50 for 6 liters is cheaper than wine. Cheaper than a lot of branded fizzy pops too. So long as you're not using it to wash down the caviar you can probably justify it.

I've only recently discovered this, I love the blood orange one but is it wrong that I sometimes add gin to it :)

slothqueen · 06/08/2017 18:47

I thought this was just me and my dp. We often make late night trips to the shop for it.

Lauralou69 · 06/08/2017 19:06

I'm not alone!!!! Hooray......my cheeky git od a son dared to suggest that I would not be able to tell the difference between San Pellegrino and carbonated tap water made with his soda stream.......I am incandescent with rage...........

As dirty habits go, sparkling water is positively angelic.

Albadross · 06/08/2017 19:10

You need to use straws though - I've worn the tops of my front teeth away from sparkling stuff I sip all day Confused

CockacidalManiac · 06/08/2017 19:12

Love the lemon one. Not the lemon and mint one, though. That's rank.

dudsville · 06/08/2017 19:13

I've just googled and learned that incandescent and candescent are about the same. Not really eactly on topic but I thought I would share.

peepholepringle · 06/08/2017 19:14

YANBU. The lemon flavor is amazing!

How does sparkling water ruin your teeth?

DCFlemingreportingforduty · 06/08/2017 19:17

I think people are confusing San Pellegrino sparkling water and their range of (sugary but expensive) orange and lemon drinks.

ConstanceCraving · 06/08/2017 19:19

That's a great little habit. Could be like me addicted to haribo Sad

kingfishergreen · 06/08/2017 19:19

Fizzy water is my little luxury too. I always feel a bit swish when I have some San Pelligrino in the fridge.

kingfishergreen · 06/08/2017 19:20

*pellegrino

I's innocently thought letting the kids have a can of posh lemonade was fiiinnnee. Turns out it's got as much sugar as a coke. That's why it's so nice

The water however isn't bubbly enough for me

ph3 - acidic - like drinking diet coke

Primadonnagirl · 06/08/2017 19:32

All sparkling water acidic or just SP? Worried now cause it's all I drink and I've just got veneers...

queenofthebucket · 06/08/2017 19:33

San P is officially the best sparkling water in existence

icelollycraving · 06/08/2017 19:38

haint have you tried the red badoit water? V fizzy!

BeyondThePage · 06/08/2017 19:55

All sparkling water acidic or just SP

All sparkling water is acidic - the carbonation is done by carbon dioxide - this changes to carbonic acid when it meets the enzymes in the mouth - this is what makes your tongue tingle - the acid...

Lauralou69 · 06/08/2017 20:01

It's only mildly acidic, plain water being neutral 7 and carbonated being 6.........still straw time I think!
