I agree that Bubly brand is flavorless.

Sure, the brands are new, but flavored seltzer water has been around for a while.

>>12397745
10 years. Before that it was rare and usually sweetened with zero calorie crap.

for me, it's strawberry bubly

>>12397692
The less fat people, the better

imagine if you could sell a product that contains 10% of the total ingredients of your competition for double the price

Why does the mere existence of it bother you so much?

Why is everyone so terrified of sugar now? It's not like eliminating sugar from soda has ever really helped a fat person stop being fat. All they really need to do is eat less. Like put down the BBQ drumsticks and have a smoke or take a nap instead.
t. 35 and have never not been skinny

>>12397692
flavored seltzer is supposed to be lightly flavored.
that's why its seltzer and not sugared soda you fucking retards.
i recently tried lime la croix and it tastes like any other lime seltzer.

I don't know if it's about weight loss so much as a shit ton of sugar not being good for you. If you can cut sugar out and still be happy with the drink, it's not a bad thing.

>>12397818
I think rather than no flavor/less flavor, what it is actually happening is that fruit flavors nearly always come with some kinda sweetener and you simply don't perceive those flavors as being as strong when there's no sweetener.

>>12397766
La Croix has been around since 1981, and they're pretty much zero calorie and artificially sweetened.

>>12397832
I don't know if they artificially sweetened back in the day, but they have no sweeteners now.

>>12397832
La Croix isn't sweetened

All of the health problems related to sugar are also related to being overweight.

My mom drank seltzer water all the time when i was growing up and i never cared for it. When this trend started picking up so much the last few years I didnt understand at all.

>>12397832
Wasn't in every store 10 and especially 15 years ago brainlet. I didn't say it didn't exist either hence why I said "rare".

>>12397831
Can confirm, I add liquid stevia and they taste much more fruity, the citric flavors need some acidity to have a fuller profile

>>12397692
your life can end now please. thanks.

Lmao seething

SAY IT TO MY FACE FGT NOT ONLINE

I enjoy the carbonation but I drink Aldi brand lime seltzer. Its cheap and cures beer cravings.

There's too much information about how unhealthy sugar and especially soda are now, not just available, but hard to ignore, and now the normie zeitgeist has moved away from the "soda with dinner, followed by dessert" meme to the "vegan, low-sugar, naturally-sourced" meme, so all the masses of normies who got trained for generations by popular media and their parents' generations to constantly be drinking soda all day (bonus points for literally drinking liquid sugar, gulping it down right away without bothering with tasting it, for the purpose of quenching thirst) now need another outlet for their oral soda addiction that doesn't come with the guilt of drinking liquid sugar.

tl;dr: Literally normies trying to wean off their soda addiction with "sugar-free" artificially-sweetened barely-flavored carbonated water because after several decades of indoctrination it's not cool to drink soda anymore.

>>12398999
Better and cheaper.
Also higher quality water. The unflavored lacrue tastes like shit. This taste like fresh bubbling water.

>>12397809
that stuff is absolutely disgusting
all it is is off-brand seltzer water with the cheapest poorly distilled grain alcohol added to it and it tastes like it too
I don't even mind vodka sodas but those spiked seltzers are fucking terrible

>>12397692
Vanilla Polar seltzer is nectar from the New England gods.
Fuck you and the high horse you rode in on.

>>12399119
People like seltzer you retarded flyover. It’s water with some life to it

>Literally normies trying to wean off their soda addiction with "sugar-free" artificially-sweetened
Lol the overwhelming majority of seltzer is not artificially sweetened.

>>12399159
No distillate in it. Its dextrose fermenting

>>12398999
God I love polar so fucking much.

what happened to this stuff?

>>12399300
Trumps tariffs

>>12397699
You're a dumb bitch with no tastebuds.

I get polar or the spritzed ice mountain sometimes and they're good on my throat in the morning. Whiteclaw and truly is where it's at tho. Still dont know what "cold brewed sugar " is

>>12399300
I got the raspberry one at a specs in Houston about a year ago after not having it for over a little under twenty years, was as good as I remembered.

>>12398999
What's the best flavor and where can I obtain some in Texas?

>>12399300
This was amazing stuff! My mom would pack one in my lunch every day during middle school.

>>12397692
My mom buys flavored sparkling water instead of plain sometimes to mix with plum extract. It's not bad.

These are based though

If you can find this one then get it, best strangest drink that doesn't come out of anything alive.
