The difference between soda water and mineral water has always been a source of much confusion for me. Until now.

I had no idea that natural sparkling mineral water actually is sparkling, or effervescent, when it's taken out of the spring and bottled. The bubbles forming naturally has something to do with the water's reaction to Limestone but this isn't important or interesting, it's much more fun to think of it as beverage-based magic.

Apparently, people used to drink from and bath in mineral water springs for the medicinal benefits and healing properties. I used to be a soda water fan; cheaper, more widely available, but now I think I've switched to bottled magic water.
