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

    Nah, flat soda tastes nasty. The carbonation helps with reducing the intensity of the sweetener in the soda. It brings a bit of bitterness and acidity that you lose once flat

      Sounds like you should have something with less sweetener in general if you need something to reduce the intensity of it…

        Fizzy drinks are intentionally made sweeter because the CO2 adds sourness. They like the drink as it was intended to be drunk.

        ive taken to just drinking seltzer water when i realized i didnt care for the sugariness. Add a little lemon or lime juice for variety and im set.
