I used to hate sparking water. Why would you want a fizzy drink that tastes like the worst parts of a lemon? That was, my friend, until fate gave me a coupon for a free case of Deer Park sparkling water and in my process of drinking through it, it finally clicked. “So this is what sparkling water is?”; this was a life changing moment.
Jumping forward a few years, I’ve dabbled with all sorts of brands including the notorious La Croix. My first sip of the lime flavor was magical, I was hooked. This tasted like dish soap to you Bill?
And when you get to the flavor combinations (≧▽≦), oh man. Pina Fraise is fucking gorgeous. So what’s everyone’s general consensus on La Croix? The only flavor I dislike is coconut because it’s a little strong. And some taste better room-temp rather than cold.
I love sparkling water, but I have moved away from the flavored stuff, I stick to the pure one now. The only flavors I can really stand are the citrus ones, including pamplemousse. I used to nit mind other flavors, but they have slowly started to taste gross to me.
They synthesize all the flavorings with bacteria, I’m pretty sure. Its nice that it makes these inexpensive, but idk, I feel like they are really pushing it with stuff like limoncello.
