Sparkling Water

Today I've been thinking about "Sparkling" water. You know, fizzy water, carbonated water, agua con gas! How did that come about? Now it's bearable as a mixer, l can understand that, but people drink it on its own. No it's wrong! l don't know about you but it tastes like water with a soluble aspirin in it. It has to be one of the most pointless inventions ever! I've heard some say, "it's very refreshing". What, more so than a glass of natural water? I really don't get it. You even have to pay more for it! I thought of a new invention, to compete with Sparkling water its called "Coloured" water. Don't you think a glass can look a bit boring, jazz it up with some different shades to match your mood, tablecloth, clothes etc. Now that's much less pointless than the fizzy stuff!
