I only buy Perrier now. Sparkling water is the best

 

[Lanrutcon]

I drink enough sparkling water a week to turn northern Africa into a Utopia. Soda is a distant memory.

 

[DragoonKain]

since I gave up sugar drinks completely years ago I was looking for a flavored replacement and I went through a lot of brands. Hint was the best I found but their bottles were too small. Hint isn't sparkling, though I think they have a sparkling line.

I tried a bunch of brands. Perrier, Pellegrino, Poland Springs, La Croix, etc.

the best I've found is polar. They don't do my favorite flavor anymore, which was Cherry Lime, but their orange is amazing and the bottles are big. So you get your money's worth.

I go back and forth between that and regular water. But I always have a fresh supply of Polar sparklings.

I can't drink it without essence flavor though just plain generic seltzer tastes weird... like salty.

hmmmm let me think ummmm

it tastes like someone ate a grapefruit, farted into a bottle of water, packaged it up and sold it as grapefruit flavored water.

 

[farmerboy]

My thoughts are that its delightfully refreshing. Only liked it as I got older though.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

I'll drink it but never buy it.

 

[Platinumstorm]

Bitter. I drink Zevia.

 

[Tschumi]

I was 5 years old when we moved to Europe. A tall green glass bottle, shapely, named Perrier entered my life.

13ish years later i liked it.

Spa red

Try again with two hands

It's amazing how something so common in one country is so exotic in others.

Pretty much EVERY brand of bottled water has a carbonated option in Italy. Some even have a "slightly carbonated" variety, which tells you right away that the "regular" carbonated one is like drinking sparkling hot pepper. Anyway, it's practically impossible to be born in Italy and not get exposed to sparkling water, and the colorful bottles/cans are completely unnecessary to sell the stuff. Living here, I never understood how Americans drink so much soda and so little water.

Tschumi has seen the light. The only thing better than Perrier in a plastic bottle is Perrier in a glass bottle.

Perrier in a plastic bottle

wait, what?

I only try to drink water and regular sparlking water. So happy that I managed to kick my cola addiction that way. While I'm still struggling with trying to cut sweets entirely (chocolate, cookies, the occasional energy drink, etc) I am doing much better now than I was before. I've even taken up fasting which I'm using an app for that has proven to be fantastic, even going so far as to outline exactly what your body is doing per the hour during fasting.

And as far as alcohol goes, I've never been a heavy drinker but would have a few beers and wine every other week on fridays & saturdays. Not any more though. Just completely cut that out from my life now. Water for the win.

I sometimes put glitter in my water to give my stomach a party.

I live in France, I will never cut the wine

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Is this what goes as popular now? (I know it's - hopefully - a parody).

 

[Soodanim]

I can't stand sparkling water. It's less than the sum of its parts.

Give me a cold glass of water, that's it. No need to mess with perfection.

Ok i'll explain. He is serious about the sparkling water. He boasts about his wealth and has extreme takes about how to be cool and how to get women and treat them, and people that arent weird dont take him seriously and just see him as comedy. but I think there are people that take his advice seriously. I found out about him because they were making fun of him on Your Mom's House podcast. Your Mom's House Reaction to Andrew Tate

 

[Forsete]

I make my own carbonated water (Sodastream/AGA).. Can't live without it during the hot summer days.

Otherwise I drink Ramlösa or Loka.

 

[Porcile]

It's like water that somehow doesn't hydrate you.

 

[KiNeMz]

I drink mineral water. 75c a bottle in the supermarket. While a bottle of water same size is $2.

Thank you for explaining, I take any Internet 'fortune' with a huge grain of salt the same way Instagram life is very often nowhere like in reality.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Love it, but it'll destroy your teeth

 

[nush]

Just tastes nasty to me, plain cold water all day.

 

[dr_octagon]

i cut a lemon and lime. i pour still and sparkling water into separate glasses and pretend I'm at a fancy restaurant. the empty pizza boxes on the floor shatter my middle class aspirations.

 

[apocaliptic]

For me only Ferrarelle. It is expensive in US but is present everyday in my dinning table.

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

I think it's tastes bad.

 

[Mistake]

It confuses my brain, so I'm not a fan. I just drink regular tap water. I know they sell carbonators on amazon if you want to do it yourself, but they're expensive

 

[LRKD]

I'd rather just drink water than sparkling water, can't stand it.

 

[Halo is Back]

It's disgusting. Just give me regular water, please.

 

[crozier]

I barely drink soda and won't touch tap water since getting a soda stream.

 

[sunnysideup]

I have my own well and my water taste good, so i carbonate it with a soda stream.

 

[Insane Metal]

It fucking sucks.

I have my own well and my water taste good, so i carbonate it with a soda stream.

You have pure water source and fuck it up. Congratulations.

 

[Duellist]

I drink bubbly with my Canadian Whiskey. Ice, forty creek whiskey, cherry or lime bubbly and a splash or 2 of pepsi. Awesome and it really cuts down on pop especially if your having more than 1 or 2.

 

[Mihos]

We use a soda stream and put a few pieces of cut up berries or melon in it... Cucumber is good too.
On weekends we add some gin
