You joke about that, but carbonated water is the norm in Germany. I went a full first month burpy with a vaguely unsettled stomach before I figured out where the non-carbonated water was in the supermarkets.
I'm not joking about it at all. I asked for a glass of water to go along with my beer and my meal in a German restaurant and the waiter was all "Water? Like from the toilet?" before figuring I was just a confused foreigner who didn't know the right word for carbonated water.
