The fizziness gives it a weird taste. If someone doesn't like flat lager, you couldn't say "yeah but you drink water". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 If you drink fizzy water by choice, you deserve a shoeing. Fizzy water is an absolute disgrace. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 It’s an acquired taste but I’ve been converted now and quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted April 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2018 I don't get this 'taste' business. It doesn't taste of anything - it's water. Only fizzy. The fizziness cuts through the thirst, just like any carbonated drink does. But otherwise, it's exactly the same as still water. This 'people hate fizzy water' business has been a complete revelation. Such a thing never occurred to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted April 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2018 Yep another one here who doesn’t like sparking water. I can’t articulate why I dislike it, but I’m pretty sure I find that it does “taste” different to still water. I also find it doesn’t quench my thirst either.

Xela Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I don't mind fizzy water if it has a flavour - like lemon and lime. Very refreshing then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Until I discovered beer/cheap lager as a teenager I hated all fizzy drinks. Now I don't mind them so much, though I'm not a fan of Coke. Fizzy water however is worse than rabies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very refreshing then I often use a fizzy bottle of buxton spring or similar if I'm diluting cordial.........in my own mind it's a bit healthier than buying a can of vimto itself.......I'm hoping so anyway but yeah, a bit of citrus in water deffo cuts the thirst 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different brands have slightly different tastes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the CO2 forms carbonic acid which gives the water a slight sour taste People who don't like sparkling water are demonstrating their uneducated palates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I think sparkling water is rubbish because I always expect it to taste like lemonade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your cake or tee shirt of name badge on the order form will be 'state message:' People fill in the box with, 'happy birthday on both' So that's exactly what gets written. To be honest I was just trying to stop the conversation about sparkling **** water. Edited April 27, 2018 by chrisp65 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
