This happened to me drinking soda water, I thought it was just regular old tap water, went to take a huge sip and immediately spit it out in disgust. I normally hate soda water, but that time I especially hated it.

If you wanted to mess with a person, other substitutes could be vodka or white vinegar. Note you could do the same for a vodka drinker; it gets more interesting if they're already in the bag...

  I once saw a man get another man falling down drunk at a residential college (frat house equiv?) bar serving him water while being convincing it was 100% pure and tasteless alcohol from the chemistry lab. (De-ionised water, probably). Served from a conical glass beaker with hushed tones, "I don't want to get kicked out for this so don't tell anyone." The full con-job. They were and are friends and it was utterly hilarious. The drunk guy was not insulted nor upset in the aftermath and still tells the story. Falling of the stool, uproariously laughing drunk. Someone else who was in on it (I wasn't, I was getting drunk for real on beer) produced an old Nintendo Game 'n watch where the water drunk guy got the top score of any of us. Apparently being drunk like this didn't affect his reaction time at all. No hangover, Immediately sobered up post-reveal and claims he felt totally drunk. (Then almost immediately drank a family sized rum or something - kids those days, sheesh). It'd be great if you could get that enjoyable drunkeness feeling like so as easily as by pouring booze down your neck... "Ladies and gentleman, pivot your startups, go!" "We're the world leaders in getting neural nets drunk, then making them classify with a hangover..." Yeah I'm sorry, hasn't been a great week...

Walgreens sells a sparkling water that inexplicably has artificial sweetener, though it's not sold as "soda" but as "sparkling water." I bought it expecting, you know, sparkling water and the experience of getting a mouthful of unexpected aspartame was... memorable.

  The same thing happened to me at Aldi.
