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.

Loves me some

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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)

[–] Blackrook7 2 points 6 days ago

Splash of cranberry juice for me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

It's the vape pen of the soda world!

They have my permission to use this, heh.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

They're alright, decent bang for the buck. If you need to quit soda like me, they help.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

They're all literally the same damn thing. They all just taste like flavored seltzer to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

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

[–] ArtVandelay 4 points 6 days ago

It's ok, but I prefer Spindrift.

[–] atrielienz 4 points 6 days ago

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

[–] devfuuu 4 points 1 week ago

Haven't had, I don't know where she lives, but definitely very hot.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Try a pitcher filter! I've found it can make a big difference in taste.

[–] weeeeum 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Strong disagree. There's a massive difference in the taste between LA Croix and cheaper/generic brands.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

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).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

They're fine. I keep some stocked in the fridge because friends like them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

It sucks. Generic store seltzer is better.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I need the fizzy water

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

It's fizzy water flavored by filtering juice through a balloon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Fun fact, you can refill soda stream bottles with dry ice. Just make sure to measure with a scale

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

It’s fine but I make my own

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Very nice. Better than any other sparkling water brands for sure.

[–] rockyracoon 2 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] phoneymouse 2 points 6 days ago

It’s good, prefer lime and pamplemousse

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Would taste better if it is slightly sweeter.

[–] Psythik 4 points 6 days ago

That's not the point

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

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

[–] Today -3 points 6 days ago (3 children)

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.

Refreshing flavored tv static in a can.

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
