I get it, you’re better than me because you like it and I don’t.

Brainwashed by popular sugar products, the human makes fun of healthier alternatives. Where’s my high fructose corn syrup, caffeine, and cancer causing agents?! /s

Maaaan. I kicked soda several years back and I like flavored water now lol. It’s getting a bit pricey now these days.
I’ll take Pellegrino. But the devil didn’t make carbonated water, he made Canada Geese,
If that’s the devils water I guess I’m a devil worshipper. I love sparkling water. La croix is very good however Spindrift is my favorite and love all their flavors.
Hello fellow spindrift enjoyer, it’s good to know that there’s others like me. Honestly I just love the lemon flavor (no hate on other ones though).
Spindrift orange mango is so nice… mmmm
Thank you Satan, La Croix are amazing
Right? What options do we have that aren’t alcoholic or sickeningly sweet?
Water? I vote water.
I smash water. Drink a minimum half gallon a day. I want something different from time to time.
Water?
I recently found a very mildly sweetened tea and I’ve been in love. Tall can and only 7 grams of sugar. I can drink them all day and I don’t feel like I’m going to enter into a diabetic coma like I do after one sip of Arizona tea.
Problem is they aren’t cheap and they only give you free shipping on the first batch… Not sure I am willing to spend the money on getting them consistently which sucks. I need to find somewhere local and stock up.
Mind sharing what kind it is? I generally drink hot tea, but my family likes cold tea so I like to keep some on hand. Would be nice to be able to also drink it myself, but it’s just so sugary (and I’m from the south, so I know my sweet teas) it’s hard to feel refreshed.
I have only tried their blood orange tea (and I love it so much), but they have a small amount of caffeine (like 40mg) so be aware of that if you’re caffeine sensitive.
Everyone I have let try the tea has asked to have a can or two so I’ve burned through my initial supply a little faster than I was hoping.
I have been searching for a mildly sweetened tea for most of my life and I am so happy to have something between unsweetened tea and liquid diabetes tea (I love the south but that stuff barely counts as tea come on y’all).
Wow, you weren’t kidding. $4 a can is a bit rich for my blood, but I will take your word that they’re good cuz I don’t know how else they can stay in business like that. I buy tea for my family by the gallon and it’s less than $4 vs an equivalent $32 worth of cans if I did the math right. It seems like they’re only available offline at Nordstrom. Hope you’re able to find them locally.
Yeah the cost is definitely too high, but around where I live it’s not that much worse than other tea of equal quality.
Honestly at this point I’m tempted to start my own drinks brand that is literally just Arizona iced tea with like 10% of the sugar content.
That’s really expensive! Why not just make your own iced tea at that point? It’s a very easy drink to make in big batches since you drink it cold.
Kombucha.
Plus, they are amazing as mixers, so you can always make them alcoholic
La Croix seems to be the best of the available off-the-shelf sparkling waters brands, at least where I live. Liquid Death, Bubbly, Aha, Spindrift, and Waterloo just don’t seem as good imo.
Though Topo Chico is also bomb 👍
Man, Waterloo has some good flavors though!
Liquid Death water has flavors? I’ve only seen unflavored flat water and sparkling water.
Yes! I’ve tried their lime and it was just decent; I definitely prefer lime La Croix or even Bubbly
Weak. I wanna try their new teas, too, but nobody carries anything but the two I mentioned around me. :(
Liquid Death is trash. It tastes like the can. I like Bubly and the Target brand though. Bubly orange cream is bomb.
Their flavored ones and teas are pretty good.
Where I live, for unflavored, it’s Polar > La Croix >>>>> anything else.
I personally prefer the Kirkland signature brand to La Croix. But that just be me.
Maybe literally. I think their soda has the most PFAS of all of them. Coca-cola!
My favorite sparkling water so far is Topo Chico. La Croix may be less expensive though.
Topo Chico is god tier - above Perrier, San Peligrino, etc… It’s just carbonated as fuck. Don’t even need flavor.
I agree… I award you +3 points
I love sparkling water, and bonus that the office stocks them in the fridge. Biggest complaint is that they don’t have just plain, no flavor La Croix or lime either.
The Lemoncello is a strong delicious flavor.
The Cherry Blossom is NASTY, it tastes like tootsie rolls.
Lacroix? Taste?
Are you a super taster or something? I only ever taste cardboard with a fine mist of watered down fruit juice when I drink them.
Bubbly’s are way better, or even Waterloos.
I was in the ‘no taste’ crowd until I cut soda out of my diet and just cut way back on sugar in general. These are a decent substitute and they have plenty of flavor.
When you’re use to the 40-50 grams of sugar in a soda it’s hard to compete. Kinda like smokers actually being able to smell and taste stuff after they quit.
Edit: typo
Bubly and Waterloo also have no sugar, and yet still taste like actual fruit flavors.
Well, I don’t drink any sugary drinks ever, so that may be part of it. But the Lemoncello specifically has very much taste!
Hi. It depends on how long you haven’t drank any sweet drinks like soda. LaCroix has a lot of flavor. But if you where to drink 2 mountain dews a day for 10 years straight you won’t taste anything but ass.
Bonus religious connotation
croissant and la Croix: kriss kross?
It’s not an issue though since it’s fr*nch.
Fun fact: Vampires can say God in fr*nch without issues, because it’s such a godless language
Context? Does it taste bad or?
It taste like drinking carbonated water while someone whispers the flavor three rooms over 😅
My favorite flavor is hint of hint of lime.
To me I thought the same for a long time, until I realized things like soda had completely nuked my taste buds. After cutting out soda and other insanely high in sugar things a lot more started tasting better, and la croix now has a ton of flavor.
I’m sure that’s probably true for many people, but also some people just don’t vibe with seltzers. I quit drinking everything but water and black coffee a few years back due to kidney stones and I still can’t stand lightly flavored seltzers.
It’s aftertaste as a flavor.
This is the best description I’ve read lol.
Ahhh I see 🤣
I’m guessing they just don’t care for the cool, refreshing taste of sparkling water
No, I just prefer to taste a flavor rather than just reading it on the label 🤣
If you don’t drink sugary drinks on the regular, they have plenty of flavor
They aren’t actually flavored at all, they’re just scented. If you plug your nose you can’t taste them
Plug your nose and most things taste bland lol, and I’m pretty sure they have flavor to them. Regardless, what difference would it make if the effect is the same?
If you have a weak sense of smell then you can’t taste them at all. I can taste most things fine though (la croix excluded) without them tasting bland. Smell definitely adds to flavoring but it’s not like it’s the only thing responsible for how you taste food/drinks.
No. Some people just can’t handle subtlety.
It tastes like licking a crt screen that is showing the scrambled image of a grapefruit.
So, it’s great when the office stocks it for free.
I don’t feel as strongly about la croix, but if I have a choice I’m getting polar water instead. If you’re looking for flavored water, it’s the best imho.
Polar Vanilla is the best bubbly water I’ve found but I can’t get it anymore!
I’ve never heard of or seen that before. Thank you for passing along your white whale lol. Now I need it too. Tbh, all their flavors are pretty good if you haven’t tried the others, I’d suggest giving them a shot. My local grocery store (it’s very local so not naming it so I don’t dox myself) has a very good alternative store brand. I like berry flavors, and their in house brand is just as good as polar if not better. Worth trying your local store brand just in case you get lucky and find a new favorite!
Hail Satan, my favorite pops
I’ve heard Americans pronounce it La cRoy and I refuse to accept that
So you’re saying it should actually be pronounced “La Croiks”?
Apparently that exact pronunciation is on their website.
It’s American so it’s not surprising they say the name wrong
Like Guy Fieri
yeah but the alternative is to use the french pronunciation which is also fucking stupid
Is that not how you read it in your head?
No son of mine is going to drink “La Croix!”
We drink Waterloo in this house
I thought this was going to go this way: https://youtu.be/O-RiJktDeXo
La croix contains some chemical that gives me an instant migraine. I drink the Kirkland sparkling water, for whatever reason it doesn’t do the same.
Sparkling water gang is superior to soda cucks
