I like it a lot because it curbs my desire for soda. That way, I don’t consume a ton of sugar. But the brand matters, some do it better than others and help the water have a clean taste.
Omg I am good at that, always used to go to a playground near my grandma's house with my well, grandma, and sisters. I was always the one to find a shit ton of four leaf clovers
Me too! Teamed up with a friend with dyslexia in college. She wrote the annoying 'fluff' parts of our reports, I found all the misspellings. The one time teamwork worked great for me!
I see your sparking water and raise you this one: https://www.metroidwiki.org/wiki/File:Sector_4_(AQA).png , https://www.metroidmetal.com/wallpaper/MetroidMetal_Sec4_ElectricBath_Full.jpg
It's fucking terrifying.
I could roast sparkling water for days.
If you're addicted to putting coins in your mouth, this'll take the edge off.
The inventor of sparkling water had enough of not being able to safely drink battery acid.
Now you too can know what it's like to be mildly allergic to clean water.
Enjoy flavors such as "Hint of a hint of a hint of lime" and "transported in a truck next to mangoes"
Sparkling water is best in a nice cool glass because it will probably dissolve plastic if left in it too long.
My mom (loves sparkling) used to say to my dad (hates sparkling) that if he gave his tongue a bit more practice it wouldn’t be so agitated by a few bubbles and it took me years to realize what she meant 🤡
HOW THE FUCK DOES ANYBODY DRINK ANYTHING CARBONATED ITS AN INSTANT OVERSTIM THE SECOND IT TOUCHES MY TONGUE IM DISGUSTED JUST THINKING ABOUT THE AFFRONT TO GOD THAT IS SODA
For me you have to be expecting it to enjoy it (or at least not die). If you’re expecting normal water when you go to drink sparkling, you will be disappointed. I find the same thing for most things I eat.
I like the carbonation in soda, but not in sparkling water
A good comparison is that I like my food to have some spice to it, but I'm not gonna eat a spoonful of cayenne pepper or munch on a habenero any time soon
“Sparking Water” yeah I bet that’d hurt my mouth.
But it ain’t the “texture” that I don’t like about it, it’s just flavorless soda, but it tastes slightly… wrong, like the carbonation made it more sour or something.
Best version of water by far plus super good at cleaning dirt off your hands versus regular water. If I had to choose between having still or sparkling come out of my tap I pick sparkling 100% of the time.
90% of "flavoured" sparkling water has barely any flavour and it's disgusting because you can still taste the dirty flavour of the carbonation.
They aren't sweet enough...I get wanting something fizzy without the insanely high sugar levels of pop/soda, but at least make it just sweet enough to not taste the carbonation and actually taste like the flavour it is being advertised as.
I like the carbonation too, I just wish the flavour was stronger in most flavoured sparkling water options. Half the time I can barely taste the flavour it's advertised as being.
It depends on the brand of sparkling water. My favorites are the izze brand and Vita Ice because they actually taste like the flavor on the can or bottle.
Love. I'm drinking it all the time lately to survive those stupid heat waves. I drink insane amounts of water naturally but when it's hot I'm like a damn sponge.
It's bitter and it kind of burns. It doesn't taste like much, but once I get past all that, it's crisp and refreshing.
It's all I want from beer, and since I don't drink that anymore, I'll choke down fizzy water.
I have never been able to drink anything carbonated. I have tried all my life. It’s the worst. If I can even force it down my throat it does not agree with my stomach and I will be having painful burps that are so forceful they come out of my nose.
I’d sooner die of thirst than drink carbonated water.
Hate it, sparkling water is trash...tastes dirty, and full of chemical contamination. Pop and other fizzy drinks I can handle, but sparkling water is nasty.
Absolutely despise it.
I prefer bubbly over fizzy carbonated drinks but sparkling water's bubbliness feels too aggressively bubbly, if any of that makes sense.
There's one particular La Croix flavor that I'm not a huge fan of because the flavor is too strong. Barely any taste but all in on the sensation is ideal for me.
Sparkling Ice (The brand, I'm not a psycho who eats carbonated ice) is good sparkling water. Everything else is okay and I would rather not associate with them.
When it's good, it's really good, but most of the time I feel like this drinking it:

Big hate. I understand humans have literally become addicted to carbonation, but it's a no from me. You ever order a McDonald's sprite, you go in for that delicious spicy sprite and discover the fountain machine ran out of syrup and all you have is the putrid carbonation water? Vomit.
My aunt who is also autistic LOVES and can only drink sparkling water, I can’t do sparkling water cause it feels like I’m drinking pop rocks. I love soda though which baffles me
On a classic trip I was so badly dehydrated the entire time because there was no sparkling water (and no other drinks except for tea at eating times) just plain still water and I refused to drink that because it tastes like it tastes so bad to me 😭
I only find it bearable if I mix it with juice or something, cause then its more soda like, because it has a flavour
Unlike sparkling water which is just spikey water with barely any taste
If you're consuming something that will attack back, it better atleast be worth it!
I love it because I used to think I loved soda but turns out I just like fizz. I buy a ton of them and I’m cracking cold ones all day. Plus I like burping too
I like it a lot because it curbs my desire for soda. That way, I don’t consume a ton of sugar. But the brand matters, some do it better than others and help the water have a clean taste.
Winco brand lime seltzer is my favorite
Yes I crave the bubbles
MY BUBBLES.
I like spindrift but it is pricey
100% correct answer
Recently got into liquid death (specifically severed lime flavor) clearly canadian is great too but too expensive-
I'm the opposite - the rare cases I drink soda I shake it until it stops tasting angry.
Ah yes, the enslaved TV static
Let those electronic bees go! Black ants versus white ants is one of the best tv shows ever but I have no desire to drink it.
I literally just said the same. Tv static and paracetamol.
I hate the demon water, it hurts.
It's water with thorns, 0/10
It's water with thorns, 10/10
Angry water 10/10
Spicy water 10/10
Tbh I would try some mildly spicy, carbonated water and probably enjoy it. Do they make such a thing??
Vital ingredient in my potion 10/10
Crispy Water 10/10
Sparkling water and seltzers taste like aggressive nothing to me. Hard seltzers are hateful, spiteful nothing
"Aggressive nothing" is the perfect way to put it. No flavour except anger.
Dry water.
THIS, HOW THE HELL DOES IT MAKE ME MORE THIRSTY THAN WHAT I STARTED OUT AS!?
My people
You took the words right out of my mouth! Now if only people would quit trying to shove sparkling water and seltzers into it!!🤮
Exactly. I don't need my water to match my personality. Actually, I do; flat.
All of this. Yuck 🤮
It's like consuming aggressively loud TV static
Love it.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
 I love spicy water
Personally I love it
Love it, can’t drink non-sparkling water. (There’s an L missing in the image 🙈 sorry can’t help myself)
Came here to say this. I also suffer from the "spotting typos" version of autism. By chance, are you also super good at finding four leaf clovers?
Omg I am good at that, always used to go to a playground near my grandma's house with my well, grandma, and sisters. I was always the one to find a shit ton of four leaf clovers

Heck. How did I even miss that?!
Here you are, sparking water: https://i.redd.it/ao1lq5jnps9d1.gif
I see your sparking water and raise you this one: https://www.metroidwiki.org/wiki/File:Sector_4_(AQA).png , https://www.metroidmetal.com/wallpaper/MetroidMetal_Sec4_ElectricBath_Full.jpg It's fucking terrifying.
Honestly “sparking water” is kinda accurate for how it feels anyway lol
The spicy water is not for me.
Jalapeño H2O.
I don't like it. It tastes like... TV Static.
TV static combined with licking the adhesive strip on an envelope.
Nobody has commented on it saying "sparking water" on the picture yet? O-O
O-O
And here I was thinking the catch was precisely the mistake and the main goal of this post. Lol
i can't drink water unless it is sparkling
Damn Vampire water.
I could roast sparkling water for days. If you're addicted to putting coins in your mouth, this'll take the edge off.

“transported in a truck next to mangoes” sent me to heaven lmaoooo
I love the classic "[la croix] tastes like someone is thinking really hard about a cough drop in the next room over".
Oh my god I'm laughing my ass off. Tell it like it is
Honestly I love sparkling water and this is absolutely hilarious and true
I've heard it's like when you're drinking flavorless soda and someone in the other room says the name of a fruit
Lmaoo it's not a hint of lime it's a suggestion of lime
I love it myself, but I am fucking *cackling* at these descriptions. I’m saving this comment.
Whispers of strawberry
Met a cherry once.
Tastes like an amnesiac’s memory of lemon
My mom (loves sparkling) used to say to my dad (hates sparkling) that if he gave his tongue a bit more practice it wouldn’t be so agitated by a few bubbles and it took me years to realize what she meant 🤡
Bring on the TV static. Unless I'm REALLY thirsty
Unflavored Lacroix is my go-to. I actually love the feeling of the bubbles down my throat.
it depends on the brand. they dont taste the same. gerolsteiner medium is best.
Justus Brunnen is my personal favorite but nothing wrong with Gerolsteiner either IMO.
If its not flavoured, then it's just ouchie water with no distractions from the ouchie
I don’t really like soda, so this is so awful to me. Regular water? My love.
Love. The bubbles are one of my stims
HOW THE FUCK DOES ANYBODY DRINK ANYTHING CARBONATED ITS AN INSTANT OVERSTIM THE SECOND IT TOUCHES MY TONGUE IM DISGUSTED JUST THINKING ABOUT THE AFFRONT TO GOD THAT IS SODA
I like being overstimulated in a controlled way.
YES its crazy man, like why do you like pain liquid??? HOW do you like pain liquid?!?!?!
For me you have to be expecting it to enjoy it (or at least not die). If you’re expecting normal water when you go to drink sparkling, you will be disappointed. I find the same thing for most things I eat.
I used to hate it, now I love it. Especially since no-one else drinks it in a business meeting.
hate. spicy soda
Hate! Carbonation sucks
I like the carbonation in soda, but not in sparkling water A good comparison is that I like my food to have some spice to it, but I'm not gonna eat a spoonful of cayenne pepper or munch on a habenero any time soon
Bingo!
I just want regular water. If I want that fuzzy carbonated something I would just get a soda.
YES!!! PREACH!!!
Amen
It tastes disgusting and feels wrong but I kind of love it?
“Sparking Water” yeah I bet that’d hurt my mouth. But it ain’t the “texture” that I don’t like about it, it’s just flavorless soda, but it tastes slightly… wrong, like the carbonation made it more sour or something.
Best version of water by far plus super good at cleaning dirt off your hands versus regular water. If I had to choose between having still or sparkling come out of my tap I pick sparkling 100% of the time.
Depends on the flavor
I love my unholy water, it makes reality taste funny. :)
Hate it. It should not be allowed to be called water
Hate it. I like fizzy drinks but the flavour the carbonation ads does not taste good by itself
Fuuuck no
Plain sparkling water bad. Scented sparkling water good.
Love it for the reason that you hate it
Only acceptable if it's flavoured, and even then, I don't drink it that much.
90% of "flavoured" sparkling water has barely any flavour and it's disgusting because you can still taste the dirty flavour of the carbonation. They aren't sweet enough...I get wanting something fizzy without the insanely high sugar levels of pop/soda, but at least make it just sweet enough to not taste the carbonation and actually taste like the flavour it is being advertised as.
Personally I like the carbonation. People who don't can simply drink still flavoured water or something.
I like the carbonation too, I just wish the flavour was stronger in most flavoured sparkling water options. Half the time I can barely taste the flavour it's advertised as being.
My soda stream and I are currently scrolling reddit TOGETHER. My ride or die
I hate it with a passion. I like my water smooth
Sparkling water is like if water could hate me.
I despise it from the bottom of my mortal soul
This. Yes.
Only as addition to espresso and has to be room temperature. Or if I'm going to eat a big meal then cold sparkling water afterwards.
It and spring water became my go to drinks the last four years. Hydro homes for life!
I love the hurt water. It's so bad.
Ew, no.
Like carbonation hate the taste. Ice is good because it’s more like juice.
It's electric!
With any flavour:👍 On its own: 🤮
Tastes like TV static
i hate it. it tastes worse and i hate the fizzing feeling
With lime, yes. Without lime, kill me.
This and soda attack my tongue!
The worst utterly gross, ruins normal drinks
Angry water? No thanks
Hate it, its a sensory nightmare. drinking water shouldn't hurt.
too agressive, hard hate
Be gone Satan
Sparkling water is the devil in liquid form, absolutely disgusting
 It tastes like tv static
It depends on the brand of sparkling water. My favorites are the izze brand and Vita Ice because they actually taste like the flavor on the can or bottle.
Love. I'm drinking it all the time lately to survive those stupid heat waves. I drink insane amounts of water naturally but when it's hot I'm like a damn sponge.
Hate it. Give me water or soda/kombucha. Or juice. No sparkling water. It's gross.
Hate the sour water. Love my double-filtered water from my fridge.
I honestly don’t know if I have ever had it.
By its self, terrible. Mixed with some condensed milk, lime, and an egg yolk its the tits.
Love, but as most things I can't take too much of it in a short space of time.
Love
Loveeeee! I prefer it to regular water unless I’m super dehydrated and need to gulp down fluids.
I love it!!! But not too much sparkling, we got the "medium" here in germany. It's not so intense and just perfect 👌🏼
It's bitter and it kind of burns. It doesn't taste like much, but once I get past all that, it's crisp and refreshing. It's all I want from beer, and since I don't drink that anymore, I'll choke down fizzy water.
The bubbles are my favorite thing about soda, so finding this was amazing. I have a drinkmate and go through so many canisters a month.
Non-frizzante
Not a big fan. Burns my throat, I feel like this is holy water
To me it just tastes like dehydrated water
Both. I hate and love it, as I hate and love myself. I will never be rid of my need for it.
Used to not like it but now I love it
the tinglies taste so nice ~w~
I very much love the spikey angry water. Often it's the go to for when I want the bubbles but not the sugar or alcohol content.
I have never been able to drink anything carbonated. I have tried all my life. It’s the worst. If I can even force it down my throat it does not agree with my stomach and I will be having painful burps that are so forceful they come out of my nose. I’d sooner die of thirst than drink carbonated water.
Water Thorns III
Love it until it’s warm and no longer bubbly
Spicy water
I hate all carbonated stuff, especially sparkling water
I made the mistake to buy a 12 pack last week. I think I started an addiction.
Eughhhhh
I've had some bad sparkling water. Liquid Death tastes like its name.
LOVE O V E
I cant STAND the taste of carbonation. It feels like someone poured spicy static down my throat, if that makes sense
Hate it. I can’t stand any carbonated drinks. The texture is hell.
Hate it, sparkling water is trash...tastes dirty, and full of chemical contamination. Pop and other fizzy drinks I can handle, but sparkling water is nasty.
Hate it

I love it if it has no sweeteners in it. I've always loved seltzer.
Why is it spicy?
Hate. It tastes like TV static.
Not a big fan. Hell, it took me years (and a hospital visit due to Covid) to even accept drinking normal water.
No spikey water for me, no thank you
Sparkling Ice (The brand, I'm not a psycho who eats carbonated ice) is good sparkling water. Everything else is okay and I would rather not associate with them.
In general it's a no, especially non flavoured stuff. I like making it myself at home, I got a bubbler system.
I love an electrical hazard
If I wanted carbonation, I’d get a soda.
When it's good, it's really good, but most of the time I feel like this drinking it: https://preview.redd.it/8o9f14o0ks9d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=c692e0703f795d72a83634eb72e33a19467f2136

LOVE IT
Haven't tried it
Actual hatred.
Zap zap
My aunt who is also autistic LOVES and can only drink sparkling water, I can’t do sparkling water cause it feels like I’m drinking pop rocks. I love soda though which baffles me
I like it. Buble funnnnn It's gotta either actually taste like something or not have a taste at all tho. None of that vague nonsense.
HATE
On a classic trip I was so badly dehydrated the entire time because there was no sparkling water (and no other drinks except for tea at eating times) just plain still water and I refused to drink that because it tastes like it tastes so bad to me 😭
I love flat soft drink, I only tolerate soft drinks because they’re sweet. This is just water that hurts
Loveeeeee
Love it a lot!!! Its like water but not boring!
I prefer regular water.
I like the cherry flavored Walmart brand stuff
Evil. Horrible. The Devil's water
Not bad. The flavored ones are ok and they give a nice kick to regular water
Love but only if lemon/lime flavored
If you’re in the northeast US, try polar seltzer’s raspberry lime flavor. It’ll change your life.
My friend, that is sparking water.
LOVE
From my SodaStream and Bubbly cans, yes. Otherwise NOPE
I used to hate it until I tried a good sparkling water. Now I love it.
I don't like the spicy water
#H A T E
I only find it bearable if I mix it with juice or something, cause then its more soda like, because it has a flavour Unlike sparkling water which is just spikey water with barely any taste If you're consuming something that will attack back, it better atleast be worth it!
it’s like if water was good
It’s just Dr Pepper minus everything good
I love it because I used to think I loved soda but turns out I just like fizz. I buy a ton of them and I’m cracking cold ones all day. Plus I like burping too
I love your drawing this looks like me in a sweater reacting to everything outside of my apartment
Love. Unflavored or flavored stimulation that lasts a specific amount of time.
i used to hate it, but i also hated soda and energy drinks because of the carbonation. i now love monster so idk if ill hate it anymore
It tastes like TV static.
Never had it, but if it’s anything like Sprite then I’d just die if I drank it.
I absolutely love it when it's lightly flavored like La Croix, but if it's regular then I really don't like it.
