ELI5: Sparkling drinks bubble because there's gas (carbon dioxide) dissolved in the water, and that gas collects into a visible bubble on rough surfaces that give the bubble a spot to "cling" on to. Drinking glasses are mostly smooth except for microscopic cracks and imperfections, so the gas forms bubbles slowly. Powdered or granulated drink mix is essentially nothing but rough surfaces, millions of times more rough spots than the inside of your glass. All the fizz in your drink turns into bubbles at once, and you get a handheld volcano.

I just attended a funeral on Saturday where my parents assured me it was going to be a casual event and that I could dress casually.

It was very much NOT a casual dress event and although I hate wearing a suit coat at least I had the foresight to bring it, and wear a button down shirt and nicer pants.

>my fuck up was that I should have asked our server to come out to the car and loudly explain to Madge how she would be impacted

The server probably cares way more about getting the bill paid plus tip than about getting a chance to lecture Madge.

And Madge won't learn a god damn thing anyway. Maybe just ghost her.
