    Apparently Germany is one of the few (the only? Who knows) country to prefer carbonated water.

      Ugh i hated that about Germany. When you ask for a water they bring you a seltzer. If you want water you have to specifically ask for “still water”. Like what?! That’s crazy nonsense. Water is one of the most basic elements of life as we know it, you can’t make the word for water mean anything other than what it’s always meant. I mean obviously you can, but it seems insanely dumb

      When visiting France the carbonated water was ubiquitous. The company I work for have water fountains with the option of carbonated water in all of their French offices.
