    Last sumer, when I was inter-railing, I kept accidentally buying fizzy water (damn foreign languages and all that). Now, everyone knows that fizzy water is mingin ;) , so I used to shake the crap out of the botlte,or just leave it sit, until it went flat. BUT, the flat fizzy water still tasted diiferent to normal still water! How so?

    It's nothing more than a dumb guess but I'd assume it's something to do with the carbon from the CO2 that makes the bubbles. The oxygen can be absorbed into the atmosphere probably more easily than carbon so it stays in the water.

    1) What do you mean by stablalising the CO2?
    2) What does brackish mean?
    3) Is it possible to write CO2 the proper way?

    Hmm.. haven't heard of the stabilising bicarb now. Carbonated water is usually CO2 forced to dissolve in plain mineral water. Schweppes make soda water which has soda bicarb in it, but afaik that is different from plain carbonated.

    I used to hate the flavour of carbonated water, but I've grown to love it after continuously mistaking it for still water while I was inter-railing also :D. They would usually have three types, still (rare), half carbonated and carbonated.

    EDIT: Of course carbonated mineral water (as well as still) will have small amounts of sodium etc in it from it's natural mineral content.
