    When I was little we couldn’t afford fancy sparkling water, so I made my own by adding a handful of glitter to a glass of tap water. My mom was furious because I nearly choked to death. My dad was furious because now the whole family now knew he had a stash of glitter.

    Sparkling water in western countries is an inevitable trip down disappointment lane.

    Soda water in Asia, and Thailand in particular, kicks ass. If you haven’t tried this,

    singha soda water

    you haven’t lived

      I definitely drink the cheap American brands. I’ll have to keep an eye out for asian brands to try - though maybe I’m better off in ignorant bliss lol.

      did you know that bottled soda water contains baking soda? at least schweppes does and i think it’s the most pointless beverage to exist, considering you can just diy it and not add to landfill

      though hell I can’t deny that it does kick ass :)

        I haven’t, but my wife used to own one and said this one seems much nicer. I’d say they both perform essentially identically, it’s just the form factor
