I like some flavored water. I mix it with rum and lime juice to make a kind of grog.

Am I the only one hearing a crackling sound on Steph's mike? Must be the carbonation...

Dear God I hope the weapon is a Boglin o' 9 tails
Very disappointed, I was hoping the fight would be live streamed.

I used to buy carbonated water a lot because I can't stand plain water and want something I can have by my bed at night in case I need to hydrate, but it was such a pain to carry those bottles home from the grocery, so what I ended up doing was I buy some citric acid from the store instead and squeeze in a few squirts into my bottle and and add tapwater.
