@vaartis Absolute Slop

@Curvin @vaartis
Why?
I seriously don't get the obsession with hating on a less damaging alternative to an already bad habbits.

@Curvin @vaartis
When I started my fitness jurney, literally the best thing to help me get over the initial hell was suger free sparkling water. Because if I were to jump straight to water only, I would not be able to handle it.

@LukeAlmighty @vaartis >fructose free sparkling water
Are you fucking serious with me? Now I definitely know you're American

@Curvin @vaartis
Sure. I put the flag there just for the protection brácho.

@LukeAlmighty @vaartis What the fuck?
You live in the one place in the world where wine, beer and vodka are all popular in equal measure and you drink "sugar free" sparkling WATER?

@Curvin @vaartis
I see why you don't get it...
Of course I still drink a ton of beer and Burčák. But we also have this demon. And that demon got me fat really bad.

@LukeAlmighty @vaartis Let me be clearer aswell I genuinely thought you were implying the existence of a "sugary" sparkling water, but not in the sense you were probably saying.
Maybe you meant me to interpret it as what soda pop drinks essentially are, but I got confused and thought you were talking about normal sparkling water with regular sugar dissolved in it, produced and bottled at a plant somewhere.

Those do exist.

They're sparkling water with light sweetening (sugar or sweetener) and light flavouring.

They're like halfway between plain mineral water and a soda. They're quite popular.

@Eiregoat @LukeAlmighty @vaartis Ohhhhhhh Shit.
I just realized, in where I live we have something that somewhat fits that description, and it's called "Gazzosa".
I can't fucking believe I forgot this existed.

@Curvin @Eiregoat @vaartis
Well, in here, we have entire section of every shop filled with 20+ types of it. :D

@LukeAlmighty @Eiregoat @vaartis I don't have any often, I typically stick to Fanta and Tassoni citron soda.
Fun fact: Italy can have Fanta that contains REAL orange juice made from locally harvested oranges, due to the fact the country is the 2nd leading supplier of oranges in Europe.
Does Fanta over there have orange juice aswell?

@Curvin @Eiregoat @vaartis
> Složení: voda, pomerančová šťáva z koncentrátu (4 %), oxid uhličitý, kyseliny: kyselina citronová a kyselina jablečná, sladidla: cyklamát sodný, acesulfam K a sukralosa, přírodní pomerančové aroma s dalšími přírodními aromaty, antioxidant: kyselina askorbová, barvivo: karoteny, stabilizátor: guma guar.

Seems so, although only 4% from a concentrated matter. Also, I kinda hate that drink anyway.

@LukeAlmighty @Eiregoat @vaartis In our nation the drink has 12% of it's volume concentrated OJ, so it can LEGALLY call itself "Orange Soda" and not "Orange flavoured drink" like what it's burgerland version actually is
