Why on earth would you want to carbonate your water? Fizzy water is just bad.

It's pretty normal. I'm american, it's common here with a little bit of flavor, but the unflavored or very light flavored ones are my favorite. In Europe a lot of times if you ordered water at a restaurant you would have to order "still water" or you would get sparkling water.

Edit: in the German speaking countries and countries around Germany anyway

I am well aware that the Germans think tap water is poisonous, but that's Germany. They aren't quite right in the head. The best water is straight out of the tap. Although I understand that in some places it tastes like pee. But in that case why not just buy still water?

I drink plenty of tap water..... I also like carbonated. different tastes I guess? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean others don't.
