Each to his own beverage cadaver

Joel is on a soda-water kick (I blame the heat), and the other day he remarked, 'Soda water is delicious' to which I replied, 'No. If you refer to my post from Monday, you will see that the statement "Soda water is delicious" is, in fact, a myth and that soda water, in truth, tastes like a soda that has died.' To which he replied, 'Mmmm, soda spirits' and took another gulp.
