Water is so far above everything else that EVERY SINGLE SODA is forced to add around 80% water.

Do we have a ~~waterni~~ hydrohomies lemmy

Edit: found it

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I actually think water percentage would be in the high 90s. 80% water sounds like it would be more like syrup consistency.

Water is very dangerous because 100% people that tried it, died

[–] sag@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep but I am addicted to it

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If I go more than a few days without it, I will literally die.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Not only that, but 100% of murder victims were found to have infested it within a week of their death

[–] confused_code_monkey@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Actually about 7% of those that have tried it are still alive and well! 😀 (Our current global population represents about 7% of all humans that have ever lived)

Water is very dangerous because 100% people that have had it will die.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

100% of people who don't also die

As long as coffee and tea are A tier, we're good.

[–] Candelestine@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, you didn't include anything like tea, so it's kinda just easy. Fizzy, calorie-pumped, nutritionless, cheap-dopamine-providing, overpriced and overpackaged water is pretty low hanging fruit.

[–] Creazle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Uh, guys? I think HydroHomies is... well... leaking

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You're forgetting the fluid that nobody doesn't love!

DAE drink water? Smash that like button

[–] Fallenwout@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Drinking water gives me acid reflux, always has. Which is weird because fanta is a lot more acidic and doesn't do that.

[–] lietuva@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

There's common misconseption that higher acid in your stomach causes acid reflux, however it is actually the oposite. There's sphincter in your esophagus which contracts when there's enough acidity and opens when there's lack of. So when you are having bad reflux, try increasing your stomach acid by either chewing gum, eating sour or eating something bitter. Avoid drinking large amount of water after heavy meals, since you are diluting acid. Also less smoking and drinking helps (quitting smoking really helped for me. Those over the counter tablets containing carbonate salts actually make it even worse, since they neutralize stomach acid, when you want to increase it. Protein pump inhibitors, such as ranitidine block production of stomach acid completely, however it really messes up with your protein intake. Common pain killers, such as ibuprofen, aspirin mess with yiur stomach too

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does it burn? If I drink cold water, I tend to get esophageal spasms. My heart to my jaw gets this tension and pain, but it doesn't burn. It tends to be worse with normal sipping amounts rather than chugging like a hamster. It can happen with beer but for whatever reason, soda never causes it for me. Probably something about the drink rate or usually having soda at room temp. Not trying to tell you how your body works, just offering up info no one I know knows about.

[–] Fallenwout@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes it burns at the plexus and throat. I find it less so when I filter the (bottled) water in a brita filter (cartridged filters) but then it tastes funny. So I actually never drink water.

What is even weirder if I drink those water bottle with a slight hint of flavor, no reflux. Might be a mental problem?

I don't experience what you have.

[–] KredeSeraf@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't disagree that water is king. But putting coke and pepsi in the same tier must be some kind of crime.

[–] Kiwi_Girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree, coke should be lower.

[–] KredeSeraf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And forever more shall our families fued. On my blood do I swear undying enmity towards the PepsiApologist, Kiwi_Girl.

I'd fight the shit out of you but I am afraid you are just too well hydrated and I stand no chance.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh hey, it’s just a girl.

I kinda always knew she’d end up my ex girlfriend, and that shit was bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Don’t speak, I know just what you’re thinking. It didn’t happen. Well. You’re right. It didn’t.

God, I wish I could stop but I just can’t.

💪HYDROHOMIES STAY STRONG💪

[–] knorke3@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

apfelschorle should be at least an A-Tier as well - best drink besides water, especially when you want some variety at some point.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great, but where does flavored sparkling water fall on this list?

Ah yes, nothing like a nice rum and water.

Edit: fighting with OP, how does someone think the opposite?

Water is A tier. Sparkling water is S tier.

[–] Truck_kun@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'm with you, but for my wife's sake I'd move Dr. Pepper at least one tier above all others.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I would put Polar Seltzer Water at A, all other selterzs at B, Dr Pepper at C, and the rest where they lie.
