@jackie_dunny Oh, the lemon lime sparkling ice water is jam! My husband thinks it’s disgusting so you’re not entirely alone in your assessment 😀
Following the food and beverage theme, I don’t like peanut butter and chocolate used together. I like them individually but not when combined.

@fameonmain2 Um, I don't like seltzer water at all. I had carbonated lemonade in England and I also despised it. I don't mind some carbonated sodas, but to be fair, I don't drink them very often. I have issues with carbonation in general, so I don't even drink many sparkling wines or even Moscato.
Also, agreed. Trying to imagine someone NOT liking a Reese's PB cup and I'm just baffled...

I love sweets but I am very particular about them. I will own up to being the odd one out on this. 🤷♀️ 😂

<3 tea. I became a fancy loose-leaf tea drinker from the semester I spent in England. Actually, new pet peeve is me at holidays putting out my zillions of tea choices for my family, and my grandpa is like "I want lipton tea bags." *soul dies*

I’ll agree with the photos of angry water! Haha I do not like seltzer water! I am coffee, water, wine type girl. But I do really like the truly seltzer beers!
Does this include La Croix? Because, while I agree it's not the most flavorful of beverages, it is the only way to keep from drinking coffee literally all day long. I only can handle a couple of the flavors anyway.
@jackie_dunny Ok, this UO is HILARIOUS! All those descriptions made me laugh, but I LOVE me some sparkling water. LaCroix, Waterloo, AHA, all of it=pure crisp refreshment. LaCroix’s Key Lime tastes like Sprite and the Passion Fruit is delicious. AHA’s Peach & Honey is heavenly. 😄
I love my La Croix and Good & Gather Sparkling waters. Those are the best IMO.
I have been doing club sodas and squeezing my own lemon and lime juice into it and it is delightful. Make sure to use a nice glass and good ice. It makes all the difference.
I agree about Spindrift! So good. But also just love a good “pure” (plain) la croix.
Weird story...I had a philosophy professor in college who would always have half gallon bottle of seltzer that she’d drink during class. She told us she had to drink seltzer because she drank still water too fast and had given herself water poisoning twice. 🤯
Also, I do not like peanut butter at all! But I love Reese’s 🤷♀️😂
🤷♀️ Apparently drink too much water too fast and in a short amount of time. Maybe it was fake and she was trying to prompt some philosophical debate in class haha.
@And846@sienna221 I believe you can also die or make yourself super sick having too much milk

I'm pretty sure peanut butter with chocolate should be its own food group 🤣

People who don’t like chocolate and peanut butter together... I have no words for you.

I love ginger ale but hate ginger. Same goes for gingerbread, pumpkin spice, cloves, etc.
I also don't like hot tea. I associate drinking it with being sick.
