I've never been much of a water drinker. Mom said when I was a baby I'd gag on it! Never developed a taste for it. But when I traveled in Europe in the '70s, found I liked water "con gas". Guess that's the way they mostly drink it there. So through the years after, I didn't drink water. Then a few years ago I started buying and drinking seltzer water. I do like water with bubbles. (I haven't had any kind of pop in the house for at least a couple years.) But finding seltzer water in two liter bottles for no more than one dollar can be a problem. And then "schlepping" those heavy bottles. No fun. So one day I googled "seltzer water" and came up with the Soda Club. I've had the Fountain Jet model for a while. Love it. No complaints at all. I don't mix any of their soda syrups in the water. Just drink my water with bubbles plain -- or maybe add a little fruit juice.

We started drinking sparkling water after a trip to Vietnam in November 2005. While we were it seemed the safest way to drink water.

Since our return, Bigdog has found that our local grocery store carries sparkling water in soda cans. They also sell a bunch of different sodas. Brand is Big K. You probably have a store in your area that carries that brand. It is a Kroger house brand, I think. There are lots of stores that are Kroger stores but branded as something else. This store often has coupon specials where you can get 7 12 packs for $10. That's about 12 cents a 12 ounce can, and it doesn't go flat unlike the big bottles if you don't drink them fast enough. And of course you will recycle the aluminum cans.

Does carbonated/sparkling water taste different than plain water?

Well, yeah, sort of. It tastes all sparkly, LOL.

LOL -- that's, um, descriptive. :-) We have such good well water (over 12 feet of fine sand as filter and a 250+foot well) that we just fill bottles and pop them in the fridge. Sometimes it pays to live on what amounts to a sand dune! :-) Not sure it'd make sense to buy bubbly water.
