    Drinking water gives me acid reflux, always has. Which is weird because fanta is a lot more acidic and doesn’t do that.

      Does it burn? If I drink cold water, I tend to get esophageal spasms. My heart to my jaw gets this tension and pain, but it doesn’t burn. It tends to be worse with normal sipping amounts rather than chugging like a hamster. It can happen with beer but for whatever reason, soda never causes it for me. Probably something about the drink rate or usually having soda at room temp. Not trying to tell you how your body works, just offering up info no one I know knows about.

        Yes it burns at the plexus and throat. I find it less so when I filter the (bottled) water in a brita filter (cartridged filters) but then it tastes funny. So I actually never drink water.

        What is even weirder if I drink those water bottle with a slight hint of flavor, no reflux. Might be a mental problem?

        I don’t experience what you have.

    Water is the goat but have you ever jad a soda pop made botanically? Modern soda is just synth flavors and sugar, but it used to be flavored with actual spices. It’s harder to find, but if you can find a truly classic soda brand it absolutely slaps modern corn syrup shit out of the universe

    Imagine tasting cola, except it actually has a deep flavor palette and isn’t cloyingly sweetened subsidized corn liquid
