is fucking tasty.

i always thought of it as the ugly cousin of carbonated water, until i by accident actually tasted it the other day. yummy. like bitter lemon but without the vomit-inducing aftertaste of teenage binge drinking (we used to mix fanta lemon with, well, anything. to this day i cannot drink anything "lemon" flavoured. blech). how did i not know this?

also, the bitterness makes it rather unpleasant to drink a lot at once. so it's really yummy, not in that "this is so good i want to just chug it" way, but that "this is so good i want to take little sips of it every minute until i die". which is what i really miss about alcohol after i stopped drinknig. normal soda/juice/whatever just doesn't have that.

thumbs up.

lemon everything is evil! especially dish detergent and toilet stuff, makes me sick.

i really dislike tonic water, its too bitter (because of the quinine).

i love love love love tonic water. when i was a kid i would sneak into the frig and steal sips of it. my parents didnt want me drinking it, i guess ebcause they wanted it for gin, but i enver saw them drink, so what the fuck, right? that bottle of tonic water would sit there in the frig until i finished it.

its the quinine in it that you love.
