So next time you open a cold soda and let out a burp, don’t be embarrassed. You’re participating in a tiny, universal ritual—a release of pressurized joy that connects you to every soda drinker on the planet. It’s a reminder that even the simplest pleasures come with a bit of noise.
And in a loud, complicated world, maybe that little burp is just your body’s way of saying, “Ahh, that hit the spot.” Cheers to the bubbles, and to the silly, human noises they make.
