Its weird… I like the sweet/sour taste of soda once the CO2 is gone. People find me very weird for this

    Yes. I grew up in one of “those” hyper-educated houses in the 70s where parents forbid junk food, TV, rock and roll, and all that. I didn’t have my first Coke until I was 19. I recall my comment was that it tasted like cinnamon. But I never gained the taste for carbonation, thus it ruins everything. It burns my mouth, gives me gastric distress, tastes like gypsum dust, and a host of other mild unpleasantness.

    When I got married, my wife grew up on soda as the main beverage for everything. So I would only drink it flat. Everyone thought this was crazy.
