Okay, genius thought: What if I just shake it to make it bubbly again? Please, don’t. That’s not how science works. All you’ll get is a messy kitchen floor and a sad realization.
If your sparkling water has gone flat, you have three options:
- Use it to water your plants. They won’t judge the lack of fizz.
- Mix it with juice or syrup to hide its shame. Voilà, a sad mocktail.
- Accept the flatness. Channel your inner minimalist and just drink it. You’re hydrated. That counts for something.
