It's ok, but I prefer Spindrift.

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

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

It's the vape pen of the soda world!

They have my permission to use this, heh.

Once I got stoned and had a sip. It was quite the experience.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] JPSound@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

My wife loves it and I hate it for the exact same reasons.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It’s good if you don’t like strong carbonation β€œflavor” I just drink store brand carbonated water because it’s cheaper and I like the carbonation

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

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

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's good, but I prefer my filtered water from the fridge

[–] proper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Spicy water

[–] Cornflake@pawb.social 3 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.

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

[–] pinapelz@social.moekyun.me 3 points 1 week 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@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Splash of cranberry juice for me

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week 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

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 2 points 1 week 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).

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] mmhmm@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week 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

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It’s good, prefer lime and pamplemousse

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It knows what taste is.

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

It’s fine but I make my own

[–] iamjackflack@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

It sucks. Generic store seltzer is better.

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

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