Fizz Makes the World Taste Better

Seriously, what's up with carbonation? I mean, to the best of my knowledge, they added it to make soda drinkable back in the old days because it was so thick no one could guzzle the miracle drug. But now it's in our sodas, in French water, and nobody ever talks about it. Honestly, it is the very definition of soft drinks in regions of the United States (it IS soda, not pop or coke) but it's not like we like it or dislike it. It's just sorta there. I kinda don't like it, I think it's annoying because if you try to chug it, it burns your throat. You try to slosh it around in your mouth to get rid of the burning sensation, your mouth fills with toxic CO2. Plus it messes with the flavor. Of course, on the other hand if it wasn't for carbonation we'd be left with water, high fructose corn syrup, chemicals that represent artificial flavors, added colorings, and stimulants. So thank you carbonation for tricking us into thinking we're drinking something other than pure death. I DON'T WANT MY MIND AT EASE. That is all.
