Its weird… I like the sweet/sour taste of soda once the CO2 is gone. People find me very weird for this

    Nah, perfectly normal. Some people don’t like carbonation.

    I’ve known a guy who mixed red wine with flat diet coke at business dinners and conferences, deliberately. That was weird.

    In Holland they used to sell cola for kids without bubbles…

    Their literal slogan was ‘only for kids’

    I drink carbonated mineral water after its almost flat but still has a bit of a ‘buzz’, this way it feels sour and sharp enough, but doesn’t upset the stomach much(which carbonated water does).

    Sure… Gives it a whole new taste. You can also water down Coca Cola to make it less sweet and make everyone else at the table stare and sigh in disbelief.

    Yep, I hate getting gassy after drinking carbonated soda, so I give it a little shake to release some of the gas. I also pour it into a glass from high up so it gets all fuzzy and releases more gas before I drink it.

    Nah, flat soda tastes nasty. The carbonation helps with reducing the intensity of the sweetener in the soda. It brings a bit of bitterness and acidity that you lose once flat

      Sounds like you should have something with less sweetener in general if you need something to reduce the intensity of it…

        ive taken to just drinking seltzer water when i realized i didnt care for the sugariness. Add a little lemon or lime juice for variety and im set.
