Dysfunctional Cunt

I like fizz in my drinks.  I would drink seltzer with lime if it were caffienated.  As it is, that is what I drink after work so I can sleep.

When they had the fizzy green tea with citrus for about 3 weeks, it was awesome.  Then it just disappeared.  :sad:

Surprisingly they have found that people who stop drinking regular soda and start drinking diet actually gain weight.  I drink regular soda, that aspertame shit will kill you.

Aspartame tastes nasty anyway. I don't know why people even bother with diet.

I saw a PBS piece on the seltzer water industry. Seltzer apparently required glass bottles to keep, so we're not even drinking "soda" a.k.a. soda-shop-flavored-seltzer-water. They even claim the *fizz* is different quality: http://www.pbs.org/pov/seltzerworks/

Jarritos makes a soda water that is superior in flavor and bubbliness to any soda water I've ever had, including the made-on-the-spot soda water I used to make for Italian Sodas at the espresso bar I used to work at.

Just watched that piece; it's not that seltzer requires plastic bottles to keep, it's that plastic bottles can't handle the higher pressures that glass can handle, so soda in plastic bottles isn't as highly carbonated. The bottles the delivery companies used to use had valves in them so that you didn't release all the pressure when you poured a serving, so the remaining water stayed bubbly, much like the Isi soda water bottles that most places that sell Italian sodas use.

I think the reason the Jarritos is so good is because it's bottled in 12-oz glass bottle under high pressure. It's by far the best commercial soda water I've found.

Also because it's made by Jarritos, and pretty much all of their sodas are amazingly awesome.

They really are superior sodas.
