Its weird… I like the sweet/sour taste of soda once the CO2 is gone. People find me very weird for this

We usually describe that as “flat” soda where I’m from.

We call the process of drinking it “giving up” where I’m from. In some regions, they say “rock bottom.”

Wow, I sure wish that’s what “rock bottom” looks like for me. I don’t intend to know what that would actually be.

Nah, perfectly normal. Some people don’t like carbonation.

I’ve known a guy who mixed red wine with flat diet coke at business dinners and conferences, deliberately. That was weird.

It’s called a calimocho/kalimotxo, and it’s a great way to drink a bottle of cheap wine.

Cola and red wine (Calimocho) is a pretty common drink, at least in Europe. It’s not as gross as it sounds.

Sure… Gives it a whole new taste. You can also water down Coca Cola to make it less sweet and make everyone else at the table stare and sigh in disbelief.

I love that Brisk raspberry tea, but sometimes it’s way too sweet, so I started watering it down.

It actually tastes better like that, imo.

My wife does that. I’ve been wondering more than once if I need to get her brain checked.
