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 good. Not the greatest thing ever but it's better than drinking soda.
Crt TV static in a can
Accurate.
What is it ?
It's a brand of flavored sparkling water.
Oh ok ty
It's extremely okay.
Of all the reviews, this was one of them.
Tell my wife I said hello

It's good, but I prefer my filtered water from the fridge
Itβs good if you donβt like strong carbonation βflavorβ I just drink store brand carbonated water because itβs cheaper and I like the carbonation
My wife loves it and I hate it for the exact same reasons.
Spindrift ruined it for me.
Spindrift is top tier. Best Sparkling water on the market
it gets my clothes clean, that's all I'm asking
Basically flavorless ass.
Would rather drink warm water from the tap in a small town with shitty water
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

It tastes like ass, but over time you grow to enjoy the taste of ass, and eventually you prefer the taste of ass .
It knows what taste is.
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
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.
I see you are a gentleman of fine taste π§
Once I got stoned and had a sip. It was quite the experience.
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.

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%.

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.

Pretty much what all carbonated water tastes like to me. Gag inducing seltzer
I canβt get into it. It makes me crave plain water more than anything.
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).
I prefer Bubly and Waterloo. They're more flavorful, while still being sweetener-free.
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!
