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).

I prefer Bubly and Waterloo. They're more flavorful, while still being sweetener-free.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Same. Waterloo Cherry Limeade and Blackberry are the flavors I like most.

All their flavors are bangers. Much better than lacroix

The lemoncello flavor is my favorite.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I usually prefer straight citrus, but this one has grown on me

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Disgusting.

Yummy. Good soda substitute. Different flavors appeal to different people so if you don’t like one, try another.

Other brands are hit or miss as many of their flavorings taste β€œfake”.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I love it. It’s my substitute for soda. I like lemon and cherry lime. My family got some for me when I came over for the holidays and they didn’t care for it. Lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Mojito time! Minty lime goodness just in time for the new year. This is one of my favorites.

It all depends on the flavor really. Some are done better by Bubbly (mango). I like Soleil's Blood Orange out of all the citrus ones.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Loves me some

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It's ok, but I prefer Spindrift.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

They're alright, decent bang for the buck. If you need to quit soda like me, they help.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It's the vape pen of the soda world!

They have my permission to use this, heh.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Haven't had, I don't know where she lives, but definitely very hot.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

They're fine. I keep some stocked in the fridge because friends like them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Haven't had La Croix, but in general I love carbonated water. It's quite possible I drink more sparkling water than I drink tap water because my tap just tastes yucky for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Try a pitcher filter! I've found it can make a big difference in taste.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I enjoy a Lacroix depending on the flavor- Passionfruit is my favorite. The top tie, first round pick for sparkling water in my book is Topo Chico. Add a little bit of lime juice and a splash from a ginger bug on the rocks and you have a spicy treat

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

It's fizzy water flavored by filtering juice through a balloon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Spicy water

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

They're all literally the same damn thing. They all just taste like flavored seltzer to me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly all brands of seltzer are equal, even cheap ones. And I really like seltzer. I just get whatever is cheapest.

La Croix is fine, got a bunch from my boss after a party of his. It's very unexceptional

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Strong disagree. There's a massive difference in the taste between LA Croix and cheaper/generic brands.

Not the best tasting thing in the world but like a lot of people said it’s a good substitute for soda and it usually hits my cravings (but sometimes I decide to mix some sorta drink powder into it turning it back into a pseudo-soda)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Splash of cranberry juice for me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It’s fine but I make my own

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It’s good, prefer lime and pamplemousse

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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.
