Some flavors are better than others. Bubbly makes a comparable regular lime, but La Croix has the best key lime which I prefer.
Make your own. Here, I got this from another lemming
a real CO2 cylinder with a CGA 320 valve (the 10lb size is plenty) a CGA-320 CO2 regulator some 1/4" ID reinforced PVC tubing a carbonation cap + 1/4" barb ball lock disconnect
It’s good if you don’t like strong carbonation “flavor” I just drink store brand carbonated water because it’s cheaper and I like the carbonation
Loves me some
It's ok, but I prefer Spindrift.
I love them in the summer. They are refreshing.
I really like tacking a pack of la Croix (or kombutcha) to a party or BBQ. I can chug through them like beer and be a responsible human at the end of the event. That no calorie and not artificial shit is a big big plus
It's the vape pen of the soda world!
They have my permission to use this, heh.
They're alright, decent bang for the buck. If you need to quit soda like me, they help.
My wife loves it and I hate it for the exact same reasons.
Haven't had La Croix, but in general I love carbonated water. It's quite possible I drink more sparkling water than I drink tap water because my tap just tastes yucky for some reason.
Try a pitcher filter! I've found it can make a big difference in taste.
Spicy water
I enjoy a Lacroix depending on the flavor- Passionfruit is my favorite. The top tie, first round pick for sparkling water in my book is Topo Chico. Add a little bit of lime juice and a splash from a ginger bug on the rocks and you have a spicy treat
Would taste better if it is slightly sweeter.
That's not the point
There are a few alternatives with minimal calories (5-10) that add fruit juice for a bit more punch. Works really well for grapefruit in particular
Not the best tasting thing in the world but like a lot of people said it’s a good substitute for soda and it usually hits my cravings (but sometimes I decide to mix some sorta drink powder into it turning it back into a pseudo-soda)
Splash of cranberry juice for me
They're fine. I keep some stocked in the fridge because friends like them.
It's fizzy water flavored by filtering juice through a balloon.
I need the fizzy water
Honestly all brands of seltzer are equal, even cheap ones. And I really like seltzer. I just get whatever is cheapest.
La Croix is fine, got a bunch from my boss after a party of his. It's very unexceptional
It sucks. Generic store seltzer is better.
It's ok. I prefer club soda from the gun and most restaurants here don't charge for that.
It irritates me when people say, "i don't drink soda" and then grab a flavored bubbly water.
La Croix considered a soda? Welp, guess my lime flavored water is a soda too lol
Fun fact, you can refill soda stream bottles with dry ice. Just make sure to measure with a scale
Very nice. Better than any other sparkling water brands for sure.
It’s fine but I make my own
It's good, but I prefer my filtered water from the fridge
It knows what taste is.
