  @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.

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

  @gingermama29 Ooohh... careful! Our friend @capnjackharkness used that meme a few days ago with a peggy and got a warning/banned!
  
  Also, wholeheartedly agree about sparkling water. YUCK! :grimace:

  For people that don’t like seltzer water... do you show this kind of disdain for all carbonated drinks or just seltzer?
  
  People who don’t like chocolate and peanut butter together... I have no words for you.

  @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...

  @fameonmain2 just seltzer 😝 no flavour to it, just angry water/tv static! I actually love Coke a little too much 
  
  ETA: at least we’re in agreement about chocolate and peanut butter

  I loove sparkling water. It's hard for me to drink still water, which is why I am so effing dehydrated all the time. 
  
  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.

  <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. 😄

  All carbonated beverages hurt me! Plus I have an inability to burp, so it's probably a good thing!

  In my opinion, the best sparkling waters are Spindrift and Polar. Also, I LOVE grapefruit flavors which I find is a very uncommon favorite to have.

  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.

  @fameonmain2 I only dislike sparkling water, not the carbonation itself. I'm a diet pepsi addict but can't choke down seltzer.
