Refreshing flavored tv static in a can.
TV static with the memories of a flavor
It’s extremely okay.
It tastes nothing like OK Soda
For those who are younger than 40 or not from one of the few test market cities - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_Soda
I hated it until I got older. It’s an acquired taste, but once you like it, it’s super refreshing.
It tastes like ass, but over time you grow to enjoy the taste of ass, and eventually you prefer the taste of ass .
I love it, and for anyone else who does, I have a suggestion.
Get a SodaStream (or whatever your carbonator-of-choice is) and a cheap adapter to run it from a standard CO2 tank. Not only do you save money on CO2 refills, but you save money on buying cans of seltzer, too. The concentrated flavor additives are only a few dollars at the grocery store.
I think my SodaStream was something like $100. The adapter and hoses were $50-ish. The flavor syrup costs around $5 for enough to make gallons. Every few months or more, I might pay $50 or so to refill a 20lb CO2 tank. It’s already paid for itself, and it’s incredibly convenient.
You can skip the soda stream and use a cheap carbonator cap on standard plastic bottles and a ball lock connector on your gas line if you’re willing to shake the bottle manually.
I’ve taken this setup a couple levels up over the last 5 years.
First level: kegerator and switch out the bottle for a keg, bonus points for using a diffusion stone in the keg to speed the absorption of CO2.
Second level: plumb the water line and use a continuous carbonator lid on the keg. Your gas pressure will need to be 10-15 psi (.7-1 bar) lower than the water pressure. Even a small 2.5gal (9.5L) keg makes for nearly infinite cold fizzy water at reasonable consumption rates.
Happy to make a parts list if anyone is interested.
I used to drink a fair amount of pop. I mean, not excessive amounts, but more than I do now. In all my years on earth, I’ve absolutely never ever able to enjoy diet soft drinks. The aftertaste is just absolutely disgusting and the entire flavor of the drink is ruined.
I actually like artificial sweetener in my coffee because coffee already has a very bitter and strong aftertaste. So artificial sweeteners are not as noticeable. But with soft drinks it just completely takes over and makes everything absolutely disgusting.
I didn’t like sparkling water at first, but over the years I’ve come to really enjoy it and I drink it far more than I do soft drinks. I’d pick a sparkling water over a diet soft drink 1000000%.
Disgusting.
The lemoncello flavor is my favorite.
I usually prefer straight citrus, but this one has grown on me
I prefer Bubly and Waterloo. They’re more flavorful, while still being sweetener-free.
Same. Waterloo Cherry Limeade and Blackberry are the flavors I like most.
My favorites too
The only brand that my wife and I have found consistently better than these 2 is Good & Gather from Target. Slightly cheaper and some great flavors!
All their flavors are bangers. Much better than lacroix
Cromulent
Pretty much what all carbonated water tastes like to me. Gag inducing seltzer
Like others, I used to hate it and drank a lot of soda. Now, I’ve dropped soda and love lacroix as an alternative. Although, there are better brands (Waterloo).
It’s good. Not the greatest thing ever but it’s better than drinking soda.
Basically flavorless ass.
It’s like someone took the perfect beverage {water} and decided to soak a used sock in it before attempting to hide this heinous blunder with a big squeeze of random flavorings.
