I really like to try things that are new and unusual..
Sometimes that works out really well.... and sometimes not so much.
As a big fan of sparkling water with flavoring in it I discovered something new and unique today.
Everybody knows about the typical flavors like lemon, lime, orange, and blackberry.
Have you ever heard of this particular flavor for sparkling water though?

Peppermint.
Doesn't that sound refreshing?
I've enjoyed a few peppermint flavored drinks in my time. Usually something like peppermint tea. You take a small sip, and you enjoy it while you lean back in your chair relaxing after a hard day.
However, what if you had a large bottle of sparkling water that you're going to drink a lot of that had a very effervescent peppermint flavor. Would that be good?
I twisted open the bottle and was immediately displeased by the sticky feeling on my hand. It really did seem like I had just grabbed a peppermint candy and rubbed it between my fingers. That sticky feeling persisted against my lips as well.
The worst part of it though is the fact that the candy flavoring does not seem to be a thirst-quenching flavor at all.
I can imagine this being a good sparkling water flavor during the Christmas holidays. You might enjoy one now and again, but it's definitely no substitute for the flavors that already exist.
I'm guessing those flavors must have been tested and proven to actually make you feel refreshed. This peppermint flavor certainly does not do that.
If something seems like it might be disgusting then it probably is.
