I get it, you’re better than me because you like it and I don’t.

Brainwashed by popular sugar products, the human makes fun of healthier alternatives. Where’s 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.

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.
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.
I don’t understand why people drink water uncarbonated. I got mytself a soda maker, though as the water is just fine here. I usually only add a drop of lemon juice.
I don’t get people binging on liquid sugar drinks. Only a hint of syrup gives my bubbly water the idea of sweetness.
I wouldn’t buy this crap though, I’d happily drink it for free.
Home-brewer here. I’ve used a C02 canister and keg to carbonate my beer for a while, since it’s simpler and more consistent than trying to add sugar to a bottle before capping it.
I also bought a $1 adapter that lets me connect my CO2 to a bottle and carbonate a few liters of water with a few moments of shaking. Add a few tiny bottles of flavoring and I can make a 12-pack of seltzer in about 30 seconds with any flavors I have on hand. Pear is my current favorite, but I also have cherry, vanilla, orange and others, and they can be mixed. My kiddos love the ‘dreamsicle’ that is a few drops of vanilla + orange. I rarely add sugar, unless I’m aiming for a more ‘soda’ vibe.
The CO2 canister and gas regulator assembly was probably $70-ish bucks around 10 years ago. Refilling the canister is $20 and I do it around quarterly, while making 5-10 liters of seltzer a week. I have a homebrew store nearby, but I’m pretty sure that I could find a food-grade CO2 provider too, since any bar needs one.
I have friends who use SodaStream, but their gas canisters are terrible for pricing when you can do it yourself.
I used seltzer to kick a soda habit. I swapped sugary sodas like Mountain Dew for a non-sugar fizzy drink. I just couldn’t go for flat water and needed the bubbles. LaCroix and its cousins were a step in the right direction and having the ability to make my own on-demand was perfect.
I’ll take Pellegrino. But the devil didn’t make carbonated water, he made Canada Geese,
Don’t buy and drink “La Croix” in France unless you want to drink bleach.
Hail Satan then, I’m a recovering alcoholic and millennial and I like drinking something that feels like a punishment.
Bonus religious connotation
croissant and la Croix: kriss kross?
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
Mon Dieu!
Hon hon hon!
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.
Polar Vanilla is the best bubbly water I’ve found but I can’t get it anymore!
I’ve never heard of or seen that before. Thank you for passing along your white whale lol. Now I need it too. Tbh, all their flavors are pretty good if you haven’t tried the others, I’d suggest giving them a shot. My local grocery store (it’s very local so not naming it so I don’t dox myself) has a very good alternative store brand. I like berry flavors, and their in house brand is just as good as polar if not better. Worth trying your local store brand just in case you get lucky and find a new favorite!
If I ever have to unload one of those fucking trucks again I’m going to commit a terrorist attack.
I thought this was going to go this way: https://youtu.be/O-RiJktDeXo
I’ve heard Americans pronounce it La cRoy and I refuse to accept that
So you’re saying it should actually be pronounced “La Croiks”?
The way it’s spelt
La cwa? La craw? Somewhere between those two
La Cr(rrr added rolling r for bonus)wa
yeah but the alternative is to use the french pronunciation which is also fucking stupid
Is that not how you read it in your head?
Hail Satan, my favorite pops
La croix contains some chemical that gives me an instant migraine. I drink the Kirkland sparkling water, for whatever reason it doesn’t do the same.
Sparkling water gang is superior to soda cucks
