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

Thank you Satan, La Croix are amazing

[-] Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago

Right? What options do we have that aren't alcoholic or sickeningly sweet?

I smash water. Drink a minimum half gallon a day. I want something different from time to time.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Sir please stop fucking our water supply, you are turning it white

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.

[-] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] Majorllama@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

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).

[-] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

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.

Plus, they are amazing as mixers, so you can always make them alcoholic

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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 👍

[-] frickineh@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Liquid Death is trash. It tastes like the can. I like Bubly and the Target brand though. Bubly orange cream is bomb.

Where I live, for unflavored, it's Polar > La Croix >>>>> anything else.

[-] SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I personally prefer the Kirkland signature brand to La Croix. But that just be me.

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Man, Waterloo has some good flavors though!

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 3 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe literally. I think their soda has the most PFAS of all of them. Coca-cola!

[-] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I agree.. I award you +3 points

[-] subtext@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

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.

Bonus religious connotation

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

Context? Does it taste bad or?

[-] Gigliorananomicom@sh.itjust.works 54 points 3 weeks ago

It taste like drinking carbonated water while someone whispers the flavor three rooms over 😅

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 41 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] gbuttersnaps@programming.dev 9 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 weeks ago

It's aftertaste as a flavor.

[-] iegod@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

This is the best description I've read lol.

[-] serpineslair@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Ahhh I see 🤣

I'm guessing they just don't care for the cool, refreshing taste of sparkling water

[-] Gigliorananomicom@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 weeks ago

No, I just prefer to taste a flavor rather than just reading it on the label 🤣

[-] Trashboat 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

If you don’t drink sugary drinks on the regular, they have plenty of flavor

[-] Zangoose@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

They aren't actually flavored at all, they're just scented. If you plug your nose you can't taste them

[-] Trashboat 7 points 3 weeks ago

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?

No. Some people just can’t handle subtlety.

[-] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

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.

The Lemoncello is a strong delicious flavor.

The Cherry Blossom is NASTY, it tastes like tootsie rolls.

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

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.

Maaaan. I kicked soda several years back and I like flavored water now lol. It's getting a bit pricey now these days.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

I’ve heard Americans pronounce it La cRoy and I refuse to accept that

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Apparently that exact pronunciation is on their website.

There are a lot of categories of food and drink that I will never understand how anyone likes them. 'Unsweetened and carbonated' is reasonably high on the list for me - carbonation itself is bitter in my experience, and bitter by itself is unpleasant.

Of course different strokes for different folks, I don't think people who like it should stop, I just don't get why they do.

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.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago

Hail Satan, my favorite pops

[-] tekeous@usenet.lol 3 points 3 weeks ago

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
