Hi

Just want to get everyone's thoughts, especially those who prefer sparkling water over the normal drinking water.

Why is sparkling water so popular? What's so nice about it and what am I missing out on?

For me, I dislike the taste and feeling of bubbles in my mouth so I stay the hell away from it. I would pick normal drinking water over sparkling water any day. I get digestion issues thereafter with excessive burping. Now I have nothing against carbonated drinks like coke or Dr. Pepper. Yes it's carbonated but as it's accompanied by a great taste, it goes down rather acceptably. But if it's just carbonated water, it's a harder "pill" to swallow sans sugar/caffeine/kick.
