Re: How much water do you drink daily?

The carbonated water I've tasted, both from bottles and the stuff they use in soda fountains, has a distinctly sour/bitter flavor to it - in fact, that's how you can tell when a soda fountain's syrup is running low. The stuff doesn't just start tasting watered-down, it actually starts tasting really nasty and bitter.

It may be something to do with the carbonation method. I've been told, in fact, that the reason Pepsi and Coke aren't the same drink is because there's a different base for the carbonation, and that's why people have a preference for one over the other despite the fact they're both cola.

Though either way, even if carbonated water just tasted like water that was fizzy, I'm not sure I'd be interested. For one thing, if I'm going to be drinking something, in general I'd just as soon it had some flavor. For another, I'm desperately trying to gain weight and it's better for me to drink stuff with calories when I can. ;)

I guess it's really a matter of what you grew up with, too. Some of the waters we have here taste pretty sour and I like them, but I also drank that stuff since I was a little kid and rarely had soda. Probably all of those reason thrown together XD

That would explain the way Coke tastes so different from Pepsi - I always that I disliked Pepsi because compared to Coke, it tends to be a little less/differently carbonated. One mystery solved!

My mother is the same - she hates plain water, with our without fizz for the same reason. I personally don't enjoy soda except with very specific dishes (and I don't want to gain weight haha) - so YAY for different tastes!
