I love it! Especially the raspberry lime. There were a lot of flavors to choose from so I just grabbed these two. I'm out of town for work for the weekend, so I hope the store at home has as good (or better!) of a selection.

Raspberry Lime is definitely one of the top flavors. Good choice! I always recommend Black Cherry, Mixer Berry, and Ginger Lime Mule to folks. And if you like citrus Mandarin is hard to beat. Let us know what else you try out!

I’ve since tried black cherry (it was great) and saw the ginger lime mule at the store, so I know what I’m getting next!

Among seltzers and the like Polar contains a high amount of PFAS if that's the kind of this you might be concerned about. I used to drink a lot of it but stopped entirely after this.

Almost all consumer grade products have PFAs or something close to it. There are a lot of seltzers you can drink still if you are worried about PFAS. San Pelligrino, La Croix, Perrier, Spindrift, etc (minimal to no PFAs).

They way I see it though - don't let the alarmism of something like PFAs render you paralyzed otherwise you may die from a stress related heart attack before the PFAs get you.
