Refreshing flavored tv static in a can.
Well, I can't provide a better description than that.
TV static with the memories of a flavor
Transported in the same truck as a lime once.
It's extremely okay.
Of all the reviews, this was one of them.
Tell my wife I said hello
It tastes nothing like OK Soda
For those who are younger than 40 or not from one of the few test market cities - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_Soda
I love La Croix. My favorite flavor is Coconut.
I don't buy it anymore now that I have a soda stream hooked up to a 5lb CO2 tank
You went directly to the tank? I've been filling co2 bottle with minimal success.
Yes! I bought one of these and run it right to the tank without a regulator. I close the tank after every use. Currently I swap the tank at a local liquor shop, but there's a welding supply place I will likely switch to in the future to get a better price.
Supposedly you can refill the smaller cylinder tanks but I think this is easier
Delicious and fizzy. Pamplemousse best mousse.
I hated it until I got older. It's an acquired taste, but once you like it, it's super refreshing.
Crt TV static in a can
I really like the stuff but that description is TOO accurate.
And that's fine, some people like canned static. I happen to like deep fried bull testicles
Accurate.
I love it, and for anyone else who does, I have a suggestion.
Get a SodaStream (or whatever your carbonator-of-choice is) and a cheap adapter to run it from a standard CO2 tank. Not only do you save money on CO2 refills, but you save money on buying cans of seltzer, too. The concentrated flavor additives are only a few dollars at the grocery store.
I think my SodaStream was something like $100. The adapter and hoses were $50-ish. The flavor syrup costs around $5 for enough to make gallons. Every few months or more, I might pay $50 or so to refill a 20lb CO2 tank. It's already paid for itself, and it's incredibly convenient.
You can skip the soda stream and use a cheap carbonator cap on standard plastic bottles and a ball lock connector on your gas line if you're willing to shake the bottle manually.
I've taken this setup a couple levels up over the last 5 years.
First level: kegerator and switch out the bottle for a keg, bonus points for using a diffusion stone in the keg to speed the absorption of CO2.
Second level: plumb the water line and use a continuous carbonator lid on the keg. Your gas pressure will need to be 10-15 psi (.7-1 bar) lower than the water pressure. Even a small 2.5gal (9.5L) keg makes for nearly infinite cold fizzy water at reasonable consumption rates.
Happy to make a parts list if anyone is interested.
Soda stream is on the BDS list. Buy second hand at best.
I just shake the water to carbonation using a stainless steel 2 gallon tank with a tap I keep in the fridge.
I use a squeeze of lime in my glass before adding the water and it's great!
I can’t get into it. It makes me crave plain water more than anything.
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
It tastes like ass, but over time you grow to enjoy the taste of ass, and eventually you prefer the taste of ass .
Lime La Croix got me off soda. Just a heads up - carbonation is slightly acidic. Throw in natural flavor like lemon or lime, and youve got even more acidity. Just saying, don't do what I did and drink 2-3 per day without a meal. I've had to get 5 fillings in the past year. Not attributing it directly to my La Croix habit (I also only brushed in the morning and never flossed, not anymore!) - but I did find some stuff online that hinted the acidity of these drinks can run your teeth down. Maybe not that much, but it sure doesn't help.
Same with acid reflux. Have to dial it back when i start noticing its acting up again. Delicious, and a hell of a lot better than soda, but moderation for sure
Throw 2 or 3 naproxen in with that and you'll wake up in the night extremely unhappy.
You don't floss?
I think you'd be surprised just how many people don't. I didn't until I was in my 30s, mostly because my parents never taught me how and it seemed like an 'extra' step. I tried a couple times but couldn't make a habit of it.
Weirdly, It finally clicked for me when a dentist patiently explained that you don't brush your teeth, you clean your teeth.
Brushing and flossing are not two different tasks. That would be like sweeping the floor and then just leaving the pile of dirt on the floor instead of sweeping it into the dustpan. It's not done if you only do half of it. She also suggested tools I could use to make it less painful (I have TMJ). I have only missed a single day since, and that was because I was unconscious for a surgical procedure.
I sure do now.
I see you are a gentleman of fine taste 🧐
Like others, I used to hate it and drank a lot of soda. Now, I've dropped soda and love lacroix as an alternative. Although, there are better brands (Waterloo).
The lemoncello flavor is my favorite.
I usually prefer straight citrus, but this one has grown on me
I prefer Bubly and Waterloo. They're more flavorful, while still being sweetener-free.
Same. Waterloo Cherry Limeade and Blackberry are the flavors I like most.
My favorites too
All their flavors are bangers. Much better than lacroix
The only brand that my wife and I have found consistently better than these 2 is Good & Gather from Target. Slightly cheaper and some great flavors!
Yummy. Good soda substitute. Different flavors appeal to different people so if you don’t like one, try another.
Other brands are hit or miss as many of their flavorings taste “fake”.
Disgusting.
It's like someone took the perfect beverage {water} and decided to soak a used sock in it before attempting to hide this heinous blunder with a big squeeze of random flavorings.
What is it ?
It's a brand of flavored sparkling water.
Oh ok ty
Spindrift ruined it for me.
Spindrift is top tier. Best Sparkling water on the market
Cromulent
Some flavors are better than others. Bubbly makes a comparable regular lime, but La Croix has the best key lime which I prefer.
Mojito time! Minty lime goodness just in time for the new year. This is one of my favorites.
It all depends on the flavor really. Some are done better by Bubbly (mango). I like Soleil's Blood Orange out of all the citrus ones.
Pretty much what all carbonated water tastes like to me. Gag inducing seltzer
I love it. It’s my substitute for soda. I like lemon and cherry lime. My family got some for me when I came over for the holidays and they didn’t care for it. Lol
Basically flavorless ass.
Would rather drink warm water from the tap in a small town with shitty water
It's good. Not the greatest thing ever but it's better than drinking soda.
Loves me some
Haven't had, I don't know where she lives, but definitely very hot.
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
My wife loves it and I hate it for the exact same reasons.
it gets my clothes clean, that's all I'm asking
It's ok, but I prefer Spindrift.
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
Once I got stoned and had a sip. It was quite the experience.
It's the vape pen of the soda world!
They have my permission to use this, heh.
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
They're alright, decent bang for the buck. If you need to quit soda like me, they help.
It's good, but I prefer my filtered water from the fridge
It's fizzy water flavored by filtering juice through a balloon.
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
They're fine. I keep some stocked in the fridge because friends like them.
Spicy 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
Strong disagree. There's a massive difference in the taste between LA Croix and cheaper/generic brands.
I definitely agree, but I was expecting you to compare with something more expensive. Personally I really like Spindrift, but it's like 2x the price. On the other hand, you can't beat tap water for value (or filtered water depending on your local water quality).
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.
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 all literally the same damn thing. They all just taste like flavored seltzer to me.
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.
I need the fizzy water
It’s good, prefer lime and pamplemousse
It’s fine but I make my own
Very nice. Better than any other sparkling water brands for sure.
Fun fact, you can refill soda stream bottles with dry ice. Just make sure to measure with a scale
It sucks. Generic store seltzer is better.
It knows what taste is.
"I think this water's out of date."
Lime and pure are my faves. Aggressively carbonated like no other.
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
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.
Huge difference in sugar content in La Croix or Spindrift or whatever other brand and sodas.
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
