I just made a surprising discovery.

There I was, standing in the kitchen in front of the fridge trying to decide if I preferred soda water or Sprite to go with my little cheese piece (it’s snack time). We were out of soda water in the downstairs fridge, so that left me with little choice.

Unfortunately, Sprite is too sweet for me sometimes. (This is kind of surprising, knowing how I love, love, love sugar.) But then it hit me…pour out half of the Sprite and add water.

Ching!

I dumped out 6 ounces of Sprite and filled the can with 4 ounces of water. I swirled it around and tentatively took a drink.

It was good! It’s just perfect, it’s Sprite flavored and a tiny bit fizzy, but it doesn’t have that syrupy texture that gets hard to swallow after a little bit. Also, it doesn’t have creepy diet chemicals that give me an instant headache.

So there you have it. Add water to your soda and you will like it better.
