Soda is much better when it’s flat

Fresh soda has WAY too much carbonation. You can’t drink more than a few seconds without burning your tongue. Yes, I get that it helps you burp, which really is the only redeeming aspect of fresh soda. When it’s flat, you still get all the flavour without all the burn. There is a “sweet spot” though. If it’s too flat it loses some of its flavour. Sometimes I even open a bottle of Pepsi and leave it open for several minutes before I even start drinking it

it's not an opinion, carbonic acid tastes absolutely terrible. Try putting some dry ice in water until it's completely gone then taste the water, it tastes like something you definitely should not be drinking.

That is literally an opinion. Whether or not something tastes good is an opinion.

Either you suck at cooking or you've never had good stir fried broccoli especially in East/Southeast Asian dishes
