I think it's good with lemon but it's not something I seek out.
On the other hand there's this, which is the real Jesus Juice:
That stuff is awesome, and expensive as fuck. Never on offer over here either

Because it tastes really nice and refreshing. I particularly like it with a hint of lemon. But I do drink a shit ton on regular water too. The fizzy stuff is usually when I am eating.
Ever since I gave up all sodas ten years ago I have made this my main drink. I could honestly wonder why people drink some of the sodas nowadays because most of them make me want to gag. Shock to my system probably.

Yeah, not cheap but better than regular soda and it kills that craving. I can usually get a week out of a 6 pack.

Ever wondered why flat soda tastes horrible? That's because soda is horrible, you just don't taste what it really is because of the effervescence.
Carbonated water is where it's at. You get that pleasant effervescence without pumping a gross amount of fructose into your veins.
Perrier is alright.
But this is better.
Perrier is way too expensive, specially given is not that special, but this? oh yes I would gladly drink a bottle every day if I could afford it. Fortunately generic carbonated water does the job just fine in substituting Perrier, and tastes just as good, if not better.
But now I want Pellegrino, it really has a very special flavor.
wait what
there are lots of good things that taste terrible if you consume the ingredients individually
not really sure what your point is? that doesn't make them the same

But carbon dyoxide doesn't really compare to other "ingredients". It's not a flavor, it's more like a "massage" of the tastebuds. Hence it makes grossly over-sweetened drinks palatable. I would go as far as saying it "fools" your tastebuds.
I realize I'm in the minority in thinking this.

I drink gallons of this
But Pelligrino is the best. I agree with some others that it's an acquired taste. I started drinking the lemon/lime stuff but switched to plain and can never go back. It's just so refreshing.

Maybe it's where I'm from, but just plain cold tapwater in melbourne is delicious.
FINALLY, someone who agrees with me about carbonation.
I love Topo Chico.We only got this:
Really good actually.
And I love sparkling water. So refreshing when it's absolutely cold.
I don't care for Perrier though unless it has lemon or lime.
Other brands including the humble Topo Chico are a lot better.

Been obsessed with Apfelschorle (sparkling water + apple juice) lately. Pretty much like sparkling cider but is usually lighter depending on what ratio you put them together at (1:1 makes it really light and refreshing).

I love sparking water, I'm surprised so many of you don't like it.
I'm confused by this post.

It's my go-to beverage. Sugar is nasty, Burps are fun. What's to lose.
regular tap water destroys this
