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

    Sounds like you should have something with less sweetener in general if you need something to reduce the intensity of it…

      Fizzy drinks are intentionally made sweeter because the CO2 adds sourness. They like the drink as it was intended to be drunk.

      Nah, as the other guy mentioned, its known that the carbonation brings a bit of bitterness, so sodas are intentionally formulated with that in mind. Flat sodas taste overly sweet because of that. Even more so when they’re warm, too, as cold tends to subdue sweetness.

      ive taken to just drinking seltzer water when i realized i didnt care for the sugariness. Add a little lemon or lime juice for variety and im set.
