Title: Why does carbonation make things better? Post by: BadEnoughDude on March 15, 2008, 12:49:51 AM I have no idea why I started thinking about this tonight, but why does carbonation make things better? I mean, they're just tiny bubbles. It's air in our drinks, but it makes them completely different, and in some cases better, then their uncarbonated brethren.
I will say that I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for it somewhere on the internet, but I haven't gone looking for it. I prefer to speculate for a while :) Title: Re: Why does carbonation make things better? Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on March 15, 2008, 03:48:45 AM I personally like non-carbonated stuff.
I drink anything though. Title: Re: Why does carbonation make things better? Post by: den68 on March 15, 2008, 05:02:38 PM The reason is simple, the entertainment value. What's more entertaining than burps and farts? A little carbonation, get gassy and let the laughs begin.

What I don't get is carbonated water. I could never get into that for some reason, but someone must like it, they keep selling it! Title: Re: Why does carbonation make things better? Post by: Zimbacca on March 16, 2008, 02:24:44 AM Den's got it exactly. Burps and farts.
