    I'm not sure I want to ask this...but how does one get water to be naturally carbonated? :eek: :rotfl:

    Taken from the web (sorry if it sounds a bit teacher-esque):
    Carbonation creates bubbles and fizzing in a carbonated beverage due to the presence of the carbon dioxide gas. Carbonation occurs both naturally and artificially.

    Spring water absorbs carbon dioxide from the ground thus is naturally carbonated (example Badoit).
    Beer is another carbonated beverage that is naturally carbonated as carbon dioxide is created in the fermentation process.

    Soda, or "pop" is an example of an artificially carbonated beverage. (Joseph Preistly invented artificial carbonation in England in 1767.
    Hoorray for England)

    I saw Keiss point and tab water .... yes I know but I am not yet ready to let go :o

    Good morning everyone,

    Reporting # 11 for yesterday, really pleased!

    (((((((HUGS))))) to Spoon and Honey!

    Today will be a spendy as I'm going out for lunch with my friend from work and it's my turn to pay. I always enjoy going out with her for a good catch up. In fact, I may be competing with Nargleblast for the wet kipper, as I may have 3 spendys in a row - today, tomorrow Im meeting another pal for lunch and Friday is the usual grocery shop. Hmm.......somehow I'm going in the wrong direction:rotfl::rotfl:
    A bit tired this morning - OH was up at 3am to drive down to London to start the job at the gherkin. I dont like when he's away but the money is good so I will just get on with it.
    My cold has finally come to a head I think, went to bed slathered in Vick last night, plus I my nose was so sore I put a big lump of Sudocrem on it - I looked a right beauty - :rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a lovely day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
