Fizzy Drink Question

[thecremeegg]

Please dont bother posting why fizzy drinks are bad for you or why you dislike them, i'm not interested.

Right, that out the way, why do we have fizzy drinks?
I mean how does putting bubbles in the drink make it taste better?
For example a flat fizzy drink tastes foul, yet with the fizz tastes lovely.
What is it about the carbon dioxide put in the drink that makes them taste different?

Cheers

It excites the taste buds, gives you a sense of invigoration.

It stings your mouth so you don't taste the drink, instead you feel it.

The dioxyphenaline in the drink causes the aphion cells within the mouth to expand, which leads to a higher production of Hulolphate. This leads to a euphoric sensation and in some cases spontaneous combustion as a result of the higher Hulolphate.

Mainly because you forgot lemonade uses tons of sugar to make it sweet. Proper still lemonade is yummy

The carbonation makes drinks nice because of the bubbling, stinging sensation on the tongue. I like soda water by itself. A little sharp on the palate but quite refreshing.

Fizzy drinks are just soda water with flavoured sugary syrup.

Lemon juice personally.
Any processed or artificial citrus gives me a migraine. Plus, i love lemons. And limes.

Flat fizzy drinks are better than their fizzy counterparts.. its the same sugary goodness without the bloatedness!
