The worst emotion a human being can feel is when you think you're about to take a sip of Sprite and it turns out to just be water.

Sometimes I see a glass on a table at a diner, and I think, "Oh just my luck, something bubbly and refreshing in the Northern Wilds" And I take a sip, and I scream. And I rage. And I flip the table, which was bolted to the floor in the booth. And the person sitting where the table was is like HEY

No the worst is when you're dehydrated and finally get a glass of water and you take a sip and it's carbonated

I think that might be topped by taking a sip and finding out that it's gone completely flat. At least water is mostly tasteless. Flat soda makes you wonder why it's even salvageable with carbonation.

It's pretty bad. A fast food drive-thru craving an unsweetened iced tea, taking your first sip just to be met with the pure saccharin horror of sweet tea instead. It's generational mental damage. There is no amount of drive-thru speaker enunciation that can help you.

I had it go kinda the opposite way when I was a kid. My dad and I were drinking out of similar-looking cups and I wasn't paying attention, thought I was sipping my water and it turned out to be his beer. Maybe that's why I hardly ever drink 😅
