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

Context? Does it taste bad or?

It taste like drinking carbonated water while someone whispers the flavor three rooms over πŸ˜…

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.

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 months ago

It's aftertaste as a flavor.

This is the best description I've read lol.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Ahhh I see 🀣

[–] M1nds3nd@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

My favorite flavor is hint of hint of lime.

I'm guessing they just don't care for the cool, refreshing taste of sparkling water

[–] Gigliorananomicom@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, I just prefer to taste a flavor rather than just reading it on the label 🀣

If you don’t drink sugary drinks on the regular, they have plenty of flavor

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They aren't actually flavored at all, they're just scented. If you plug your nose you can't taste them

[–] Trashboat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Plug your nose and most things taste bland lol, and I’m pretty sure they have flavor to them. Regardless, what difference would it make if the effect is the same?

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

If you have a weak sense of smell then you can't taste them at all. I can taste most things fine though (la croix excluded) without them tasting bland. Smell definitely adds to flavoring but it's not like it's the only thing responsible for how you taste food/drinks.

[–] Killer57@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 11 months ago

I was born without a sense of smell, bubly and Lacroix taste like plain seltzer and that just doesn't appeal to me.

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

No. Some people just can’t handle subtlety.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

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.
