    Pretty much what all carbonated water tastes like to me. Gag inducing seltzer

    Lime La Croix got me off soda. Just a heads up - carbonation is slightly acidic. Throw in natural flavor like lemon or lime, and youve got even more acidity. Just saying, don’t do what I did and drink 2-3 per day without a meal. I’ve had to get 5 fillings in the past year. Not attributing it directly to my La Croix habit (I also only brushed in the morning and never flossed, not anymore!) - but I did find some stuff online that hinted the acidity of these drinks can run your teeth down. Maybe not that much, but it sure doesn’t help.

        I think you’d be surprised just how many people don’t. I didn’t until I was in my 30s, mostly because my parents never taught me how and it seemed like an ‘extra’ step. I tried a couple times but couldn’t make a habit of it.

        Weirdly, It finally clicked for me when a dentist patiently explained that you don’t brush your teeth, you clean your teeth.

        Brushing and flossing are not two different tasks. That would be like sweeping the floor and then just leaving the pile of dirt on the floor instead of sweeping it into the dustpan. It’s not done if you only do half of it. She also suggested tools I could use to make it less painful (I have TMJ). I have only missed a single day since, and that was because I was unconscious for a surgical procedure.

      Same with acid reflux. Have to dial it back when i start noticing its acting up again. Delicious, and a hell of a lot better than soda, but moderation for sure

        Throw 2 or 3 naproxen in with that and you’ll wake up in the night extremely unhappy.

    It’s ok. I prefer club soda from the gun and most restaurants here don’t charge for that.

    It irritates me when people say, “i don’t drink soda” and then grab a flavored bubbly water.

    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

    Some flavors are better than others. Bubbly makes a comparable regular lime, but La Croix has the best key lime which I prefer.

    Fun fact, you can refill soda stream bottles with dry ice. Just make sure to measure with a scale

    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.
