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.

[–] 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

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

[–] mmhmm@lemmy.ml 4 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

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

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

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

it gets my clothes clean, that's all I'm asking

[–] 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.

[–] MxRemy@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Loves me some

[–] 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

[–] 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.

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)

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It’s good, prefer lime and pamplemousse

[–] rockyracoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week 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.

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

[–] plm00@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

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