Why does my sparkling water taste flat only when I use a metal straw?
Our answer
Straw shape, temperature or residue changes fizz perception; use a clean wide straw or drink directly from chilled glass.
Why this approach makes sense
Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.
Before you try it
Check the model instructions and test on a small area before committing to a permanent change.
