Next time you order a “seltzer” at a bar, you might actually get soda water. Most bartenders use them interchangeably. It’s a losing battle. But you know the truth now.
Soda water is the polite, slightly salty host. Seltzer is the edgy, minimalist artist. Both are just water playing dress-up. Both are delicious. Neither will judge you for drinking it straight from the can.
So go forth. Pop open a can. Listen to the fizz. And if someone says, “It’s all the same,” you can wink and say, “Oh, my friend. It’s not.” Then you take a sip, smile, and let the bubbles do the talking. You’re welcome.
