    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.

      Soda is filled with massive amounts of sugar and caffeine. It is extremely different from carbonated water.

      La Croix considered a soda? Welp, guess my lime flavored water is a soda too lol

    I can’t get into it. It makes me crave plain water more than anything.

    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.

    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

    A coworker of mine refers to it as “crack water” because he drank so much. I like it better than any other brand of seltzer water.

    Some flavors are better than others. Bubbly makes a comparable regular lime, but La Croix has the best key lime which I prefer.

    I used to drink a fair amount of pop. I mean, not excessive amounts, but more than I do now. In all my years on earth, I’ve absolutely never ever able to enjoy diet soft drinks. The aftertaste is just absolutely disgusting and the entire flavor of the drink is ruined.

    I actually like artificial sweetener in my coffee because coffee already has a very bitter and strong aftertaste. So artificial sweeteners are not as noticeable. But with soft drinks it just completely takes over and makes everything absolutely disgusting.

    I didn’t like sparkling water at first, but over the years I’ve come to really enjoy it and I drink it far more than I do soft drinks. I’d pick a sparkling water over a diet soft drink 1000000%.

      Thank you for saying this, completely agree. I eyeroll whenever i hear someone say “they have no taste”. Usually those people are soda drinkers, and have no idea how messed up their taste is. Soda completely overwhelms your tastebuds, and you get used to having so much sugar, so everything else will taste bland.

      Once you dial down soda, or even cut it out which is what i did, you’ll start to notice most things taste a lot better
