This stuff is alright. They got different flavors from la croix and giant pepsi made it a few bucks cheaper because they can.

Pepsi introduces Bubly, a millennial sparkling water for millennials meant to compete with LaCroix
- Thread starter ElectricBlanketFire
- Start date
I've been trying to get into sparkling water, and Bubly was on sale so I tried the lime version. S'ok. Polar was on sale the next week though so I got that instead and I think I like it better.
I too used to think this. You'll come around. They always do.
I'm not a millennial and love sparkling water. Hate the flavored kind though. We just carbonate our own water with a Soda Stream.
This man knows the deal. Trader Joe's seltzer is pretty good, as well.
So is this stuff out? May need to head to Walmart to try it.
As for why some of us drink Sparkling Water, it's because I know I'll gain weight from Coke. Diet coke's is also up in the air as the artificial sugars may or may not also lead to increased weight (something about messing w/ gut bacteria?? Don't remember). I'll still do a diet can 2-3 times a week but this hits the spot and it's literally carbonated water w/o sugar

I have no idea how La Croix became some kind of hipster drink. My mom has been drinking it for years only because she became diabetic and can't drink soda or most juices.
Coke also fucks with my skin. I started an office job recently and I wanted something to sip on besides plain water, so I started drinking around 1 can of soda a day. My skin hated me for it, so I went to the grocery store the next day and got some sparkling water.
It's the pamplemousse or whatever.

My dad has been drinking that shit for years so he was clearly way ahead of the game.

We got the cherry flavor here at work and it's great. I prefer it over La Croix, even though they are different flavors here.
Flavoured sparkling water is amazing, it has been a thing in Finland for decades. Much nicer than soda as it's not as sweet, and it usually hasn't got sugar/aspartame
Yeah we've had this in the UK for my entire life as far as I can remember (28 years). As usual, in America it's all about the big brands. Here you can buy it in big bottles for like 55 pence.
I tried to swap off cola for flavoured water but I really miss the caffeine. If someone made a caffeinated flavoured water I'd be so there.
I had no idea this was a thing. I found myself craving soda more recently and figured I'd give seltzer or sparkling water another try. Never cared much for the stuff in the past, but it had been a while. Walked into Target and picked up some LaCroix, as the flavor variety seemed pretty interesting. I enjoy it.
I tried LaCroix and just think it tastes bad. Like, unpleasant to experience. I went back to regular water.
This is the only sparkling water flavor I can drink. It is really good actually and would recommend it to someone on the fence
Their whole line is pretty good.
On the subject, this stuff is pretty disappointing.
I used to buy a lot of Hiball Energy Water. Unfortunately, it's a bit pricey, and I don't think it's available in the UK.
I drink iced water as well. Sometimes you want something different.
I was hoping someone would mention Clearly Canadian!! Will always be the GOAT sparkling water. Wish it were more readily available...
Now, I just drink this stuff:
It's definitely not Clearly Canadian, but it does help ease my tummy.
lol if anything I thought carbonated water was an old people thing. I lot of my older professors and coworkers drink shit like LaCroix.
Honestly, Kroger's simple truth flavored water is so much better than La Croix.
Target has been carrying Bubly, and they had a 30% off coupon via Cartwheel for cases recently so I tried a few. Pretty great, and they have some flavors la croix doesn't, like Strawberry. As far as I'm concerned, it's a hit. I'll just get whatever is on sale though. So more competition in the sparking water space works in my favor.
I am serious.
The first company to introduce this, ironically, will make so much hipster/millennial money.
I love la croix but Bubly seems to be a little less harsh with the carbonation. I really like it but have only tried Strawberry, Cherry and Grapefruit.

I like their package design, but the name makes me think "I don't want water from the loo"!
I've been buying Target's Simply Balanced brand...for some reason is like a buck cheaper a box than all the national brands and tastes basically the same or better. Bubly Apple is pretty okay...one of the others I tried had sort of a weird after taste...
Pretty much what I think. I tried the strawberry Bubly and thought it was decent. I'd buy it again.
This was the brand I saw recommended and I first wanted to check out but WalMart didn't seem to carry it anymore.
I mean, we're pretty close with shit like Cucumber Pepsi in Japan.
Just give it time. Avocado is becoming known as this super versatile thing. It'll make its way into beverages soon enough if it hasn't already.
I'm trying to do/eat/drink better y'all. I am trying. But this, quite frankly, tastes awful. A piece of me dies with every sip. I drink more soda than I'd like (ginger ale) and thought this could help me cut back but the remainder of my 8-pack will be promptly given away to friends and co-workers. A-W-F-U-L.
Man, I really dislike the taste of Lacroix. On top of that it has a premium price over here so meh to that. I always enjoyed the pharmacy branded sparkling water drinks, though.
Not available in the US to my knowledge though, and these do have some sugar but only about 1/3 of what the normal Battery energy drink contains. It's marketed especially to people who move and exercise a lot, also has magnesium added besides the B and C vitamins. Has less caffeine too than the regular energy drinks.
