Dirty little habit 😅

[Lauralou69]

Okay.....here goes.......I'm addicted to.............San Pellegrino.......i've spent £5.50 on 6 litres..........my son is appalled and disgusted with me. I'm a single mum, who the hell do i think i am?...

Ewww sour fizzy water

Sparkling water can't be so acid, unlike Coke and the like.
If it was that acidic, they would need to add sugar, like they do with Coke.
Fwiw (nerd alert) San Pellegrino has a ph of 5.5 (neutral is 7). That's the same than a black coffee!
Coke has a ph of 2.5 (same than lemon).

So just as much as you can worry about your teeth with Coke, I wouldn't be worried about sparkling water TBH.

San Pellegrino has a ph of 5.5 in the bottle.

The ph is 3.0 in the mouth when the carbon dioxide is converted to carbonic acid by enzymes not present in the bottle.

Due to a slight panic over enamel erosion I have now switched to Prosecco.......am I going to hell?

I love the stuff. It's not artificially carbonated, it comes out of the ground like that. Delicious.

Prosecco is fizzy too? ph 3.25

arghhh lost half my post somehow anyhow the gist = Prosecco ph 3.25-4.5 ish- acidic and bubbles...

Beyond if sparkling water gets more acidic in the mouth due to the chemical reaction, what do you think would be the ph of Coke whilst in the mouth???

The Whole Food Shop sales it for 75p a can!!!

Aldi do a great version of the lemon one. Even has little tin foil lids. Great with gin

I'm dooooooooooomed..................my mouth is in ph crisis!!!!!

I'm buying some straws tomorrow!

And some Prosecco now

I'm sorry. There it's started.
I buy (sit down ladies!) Sainsburys cheap sparkling water. When I say cheap, I mean 20p for 2 litres CHEAP 😊

My colleague drinks coffee through a straw. I'm always a bit agog about it. Obviously she can do what she likes but can any science/health types confirm whether or not the straw has any health benefit?

You......do..........WHAT?????? Blasphemy!!

icelollycraving I agree! I am a recent convert from San Pellegrino to the red Badiot! It's lovely!

Home bargains do nifty little cans of the lemon one too.

Haha Lauralou69 if you mean me I can only apologise (lol not really; ner ner na ner ner)!!

Yes you with your Sainsbury's 20p a bottle, what the hell????

Haha I feel liberated 😂😂😂😂

You ought to be ashamed and made to wear a special hat.......'I am tight...San Pellegrino rules'!
