It definitely was the sugar. There is seltzer water, which I think is just
carbonated water, but that is an expensive way to add CO2. Next time,
don't jump from a teaspoon to a cup. Step it up more slowly, and you can
catch any bad effects before they become catastrophies.
Experimenting is good!

Isolated means, forget it.
