Aqueous Gastronomy was a Free University course taught during the winter studies Winter Study terms of the 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 academic years by Locke Meyer '25 and Felix King '25. Tasting, analyzing, and discussing sparkling water was the basis of the course, but class sessions involved forays into many disciplines unrelated to sparkling water including literature, philosophy, music, manufacturing/engineering, history, anthropology, and chemistry/alchemy.

===History===The first version of the course iteration Aqueous Gastronomy ran for four weeks during January of 2023 and met once per week in Hollander room 241. Origin stories often begin with Professors King and Meyer tasting LaCroix's limoncello flavored water. As the story goes, after searching online and finding a now-defunct website dedicated to sparkling water reviews (the Bubbleverse), they decided to "take the plunge" and develop the curriculum for Aqueous Gastronomy.
