Right? What options do we have that aren't alcoholic or sickeningly sweet?

[–] dvlsg@lemmy.world 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Water? I vote water.

[–] Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I smash water. Drink a minimum half gallon a day. I want something different from time to time.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Sir please stop fucking our water supply, you are turning it white

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Water?

[–] TheBenCommandments@infosec.pub 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You mean like in the toilet?

I recently found a very mildly sweetened tea and I've been in love. Tall can and only 7 grams of sugar. I can drink them all day and I don't feel like I'm going to enter into a diabetic coma like I do after one sip of Arizona tea.

Problem is they aren't cheap and they only give you free shipping on the first batch... Not sure I am willing to spend the money on getting them consistently which sucks. I need to find somewhere local and stock up.

Mind sharing what kind it is? I generally drink hot tea, but my family likes cold tea so I like to keep some on hand. Would be nice to be able to also drink it myself, but it's just so sugary (and I'm from the south, so I know my sweet teas) it's hard to feel refreshed.

I have only tried their blood orange tea (and I love it so much), but they have a small amount of caffeine (like 40mg) so be aware of that if you're caffeine sensitive.

Everyone I have let try the tea has asked to have a can or two so I've burned through my initial supply a little faster than I was hoping.

I have been searching for a mildly sweetened tea for most of my life and I am so happy to have something between unsweetened tea and liquid diabetes tea (I love the south but that stuff barely counts as tea come on y'all).

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Wow, you weren't kidding. $4 a can is a bit rich for my blood, but I will take your word that they're good cuz I don’t know how else they can stay in business like that. I buy tea for my family by the gallon and it's less than $4 vs an equivalent $32 worth of cans if I did the math right. It seems like they're only available offline at Nordstrom. Hope you're able to find them locally.

La Croix seems to be the best of the available off-the-shelf sparkling waters brands, at least where I live. Liquid Death, Bubbly, Aha, Spindrift, and Waterloo just don't seem as good imo.

Though Topo Chico is also bomb 👍

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Liquid Death is trash. It tastes like the can. I like Bubly and the Target brand though. Bubly orange cream is bomb.

[–] pigeonholedpoetry@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Their flavored ones and teas are pretty good.

[–] shoop@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Where I live, for unflavored, it's Polar > La Croix >>>>> anything else.

[–] SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I personally prefer the Kirkland signature brand to La Croix. But that just be me.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 3 points 10 months ago

Man, Waterloo has some good flavors though!

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 3 points 10 months ago

Maybe literally. I think their soda has the most PFAS of all of them. Coca-cola!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Liquid Death water has flavors? I've only seen unflavored flat water and sparkling water.

I agree.. I award you +3 points

[–] subtext@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I love sparkling water, and bonus that the office stocks them in the fridge. Biggest complaint is that they don’t have just plain, no flavor La Croix or lime either.

Bonus religious connotation

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

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

Context? Does it taste bad or?

[–] Gigliorananomicom@sh.itjust.works 48 points 10 months ago (6 children)

It taste like drinking carbonated water while someone whispers the flavor three rooms over 😅

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 42 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] gbuttersnaps@programming.dev 10 points 10 months ago

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 10 months ago

It's aftertaste as a flavor.

[–] iegod@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

This is the best description I've read lol.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Ahhh I see 🤣

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

[–] Gigliorananomicom@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Trashboat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

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

No. Some people just can’t handle subtlety.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 12 points 10 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.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Lemoncello is a strong delicious flavor.

The Cherry Blossom is NASTY, it tastes like tootsie rolls.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Lacroix? Taste?

Are you a super taster or something? I only ever taste cardboard with a fine mist of watered down fruit juice when I drink them.

Bubbly’s are way better, or even Waterloos.

[–] JordanZ@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I was in the ‘no taste’ crowd until I cut soda out of my diet and just cut way back on sugar in general. These are a decent substitute and they have plenty of flavor.

When you’re use to the 40-50 grams of sugar in a soda it’s hard to compete. Kinda like smokers actually being able to smell and taste stuff after they quit.

Edit: typo

Well, I don’t drink any sugary drinks ever, so that may be part of it. But the Lemoncello specifically has very much taste!

If that’s the devils water I guess I’m a devil worshipper. I love sparkling water. La croix is very good however Spindrift is my favorite and love all their flavors.

Maaaan. I kicked soda several years back and I like flavored water now lol. It's getting a bit pricey now these days.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Get a soda maker and add a tiny amount of syrup or fruit juice

I'll take Pellegrino. But the devil didn't make carbonated water, he made Canada Geese,

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

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.

If I ever have to unload one of those fucking trucks again I'm going to commit a terrorist attack.
