Right? What options do we have that aren't alcoholic or sickeningly sweet?
Water? I vote water.
I smash water. Drink a minimum half gallon a day. I want something different from time to time.
Sir please stop fucking our water supply, you are turning it white
I recently found a very mildly sweetened tea and I've been in love. Tall can and only 7 grams of sugar. I can drink them all day and I don't feel like I'm going to enter into a diabetic coma like I do after one sip of Arizona tea.
Problem is they aren't cheap and they only give you free shipping on the first batch... Not sure I am willing to spend the money on getting them consistently which sucks. I need to find somewhere local and stock up.
Mind sharing what kind it is? I generally drink hot tea, but my family likes cold tea so I like to keep some on hand. Would be nice to be able to also drink it myself, but it's just so sugary (and I'm from the south, so I know my sweet teas) it's hard to feel refreshed.

La Croix seems to be the best of the available off-the-shelf sparkling waters brands, at least where I live. Liquid Death, Bubbly, Aha, Spindrift, and Waterloo just don't seem as good imo.
Though Topo Chico is also bomb π
Liquid Death is trash. It tastes like the can. I like Bubly and the Target brand though. Bubly orange cream is bomb.
Their flavored ones and teas are pretty good.
Where I live, for unflavored, it's Polar > La Croix >>>>> anything else.
I personally prefer the Kirkland signature brand to La Croix. But that just be me.
Man, Waterloo has some good flavors though!
Liquid Death water has flavors? I've only seen unflavored flat water and sparkling water.

I agree.. I award you +3 points
I love sparkling water, and bonus that the office stocks them in the fridge. Biggest complaint is that they donβt have just plain, no flavor La Croix or lime either.

Bonus religious connotation
It's not an issue though since it's fr*nch.
Fun fact: Vampires can say God in fr*nch without issues, because it's such a godless language

Brainwashed by popular sugar products, the human makes fun of healthier alternatives. Whereβs my high fructose corn syrup, caffeine, and cancer causing agents?! /s
just not liking the teasing of flavor is all. If I want flavor I will drink the sugary ones, otherwise I will just drink plain water. Having nothing is better than unsatisfying amount that makes you want more.

Context? Does it taste bad or?
It taste like drinking carbonated water while someone whispers the flavor three rooms over π
To me I thought the same for a long time, until I realized things like soda had completely nuked my taste buds. After cutting out soda and other insanely high in sugar things a lot more started tasting better, and la croix now has a ton of flavor.
I'm sure that's probably true for many people, but also some people just don't vibe with seltzers. I quit drinking everything but water and black coffee a few years back due to kidney stones and I still can't stand lightly flavored seltzers.
It's aftertaste as a flavor.
This is the best description I've read lol.
Ahhh I see π€£

I'm guessing they just don't care for the cool, refreshing taste of sparkling water
No, I just prefer to taste a flavor rather than just reading it on the label π€£
If you donβt drink sugary drinks on the regular, they have plenty of flavor

No. Some people just canβt handle subtlety.
It tastes like licking a crt screen that is showing the scrambled image of a grapefruit.
So, it's great when the office stocks it for free.
The Lemoncello is a strong delicious flavor.
The Cherry Blossom is NASTY, it tastes like tootsie rolls.
Lacroix? Taste?
Are you a super taster or something? I only ever taste cardboard with a fine mist of watered down fruit juice when I drink them.
Bubblyβs are way better, or even Waterloos.
I was in the βno tasteβ crowd until I cut soda out of my diet and just cut way back on sugar in general. These are a decent substitute and they have plenty of flavor.
When youβre use to the 40-50 grams of sugar in a soda itβs hard to compete. Kinda like smokers actually being able to smell and taste stuff after they quit.
Edit: typo

Well, I donβt drink any sugary drinks ever, so that may be part of it. But the Lemoncello specifically has very much taste!

If thatβs the devils water I guess Iβm a devil worshipper. I love sparkling water. La croix is very good however Spindrift is my favorite and love all their flavors.

Maaaan. I kicked soda several years back and I like flavored water now lol. It's getting a bit pricey now these days.
Get a soda maker and add a tiny amount of syrup or fruit juice
Hey .. that's not a bad idea.
I'll take Pellegrino. But the devil didn't make carbonated water, he made Canada Geese,
I don't feel as strongly about la croix, but if I have a choice I'm getting polar water instead. If you're looking for flavored water, it's the best imho.

There are a lot of categories of food and drink that I will never understand how anyone likes them. 'Unsweetened and carbonated' is reasonably high on the list for me - carbonation itself is bitter in my experience, and bitter by itself is unpleasant.
Of course different strokes for different folks, I don't think people who like it should stop, I just don't get why they do.
