    Recently I had a note-worthy experience at Marmelo in Melbourne CBD: The wait staff asked the usual “still or sparkling” I opted for still, as it’s usually free/tap but others opted for sparkling. Turns out the sparkling was from a tap so it was also free! And I’m noticing this more and more in establishments, in Melbourne at least.

      No way! I love sparkling water but dont want to pay for the bullshit expensive french ones that reataurants uaually have, hopefully this catches on. Sparkling water is super common in Europe i have noticed, they have like low, medium & high fizz level options for bottles you buy at shops, and in Italy i even stopped at a place that had a public water fountain that had both still & sparkling water, which was weird given that public toilets all cost for use over there too.
