I’ve never been a big fan of sparkling mineral water.
Most places I’ve lived it’s been available, but always hiding on a bottom shelf or huddled with the other random drinks relegated to the fridge seldom opened.
In some countries it’s really popular: part of daily life. That’s fine with me.
In most South American countries, it’s bought as often as regular bottled water.
I got used to it being served with coffee in Argentina. I drank it and enjoyed it; but still would never buy it on purpose.
I only bought it once by mistake.
Extremely hungover I bought two bottles of the stuff.
If you don’t know, sparkling water does not help a hangover.
It doesn’t feel good when you guzzle it.
And personally, I don’t like burping when I’m hungover.
The contents bubbling over when I took the cap off it didn’t help either.
Why do they have it displayed next to the regular water?
Sure it’s water, but there is a night and day difference between sparkling and regular water.
It’s like buying unsweetened baking chocolate instead of a chocolate bar.
You don’t find those things snuggling up to each other on a grocery store shelf.
note: Can you use sparkling water to make instant coffee?
Can you use it in your car radiator?
Can you water plants with it?
If you put it in a hamster’s drink bottle, would you still have a hamster the next day?
