no. Seltzer has a huge iconic place in American Jewish history/culture.

No matter what Anti-seltzerists say! 😆



"Every Jew has a seltzer story. From the adorable – my brother’s first word was “seltzer”—to the morbid – a family friend’s grandmother died due to a fatal de-capping (true story!) – the fizzy stuff is a familiar facet of Jewish life. For Jews from the most Hasidic to the most secular, this carbonated beverage is a touchstone, as ubiquitous in Jewish culture as it is on Jewish tables – rightfully earning its nickname of “Jewish champagne.” But why did seltzer become so synonymous with Jewish culture in the first place?"
