That's just sugar free soda not Seltzer.

By coincidence I'm drinking one of these right now. It's not really seltzer but it's ... seltzer-adjacent, maybe? It has that slightly astringent thing going on and is really sharp and fizzy on the tongue. More flavor than your usual seltzer, though.

It also has some stevia pong, so be aware.

Also, currently drinking polar Mandarin. Remnant from a big ol multi pack at BJs. Brought it to the exercise bike, a little trick I learned from the hotel gym in the Omni Frisco in TX, where they had seltzer on tap in the actual gym lol

I haven't seen anyone mention the upscale Safeway generic (Soleil). I hella like the Cucumber Melon.

Does anyone have any experience with the non-SodaStream carbonators (Drinkmate and Aarke were mentioned in the stupid questions thread)? I drink a shitload of carbonated water, and would like to at least cut down on environmental impact (waste and transport). Drinkmate even looks to come in a bit cheaper than the Costco LaCroix I usually get ($.22/12oz. vs. $.33/12oz.).

Apparently, I killed this thread before, but I'm bringing it back.

I just tried AHA, both the Blueberry Pomegranate and the Orange Grapefruit; they're hella good.

Apple and Peach Soleil are legit, too, though the Cranberry Raspberry Soleil is probably my current favorite.

I love watermelon, and I have not seen that variety pack at Costco or I would have snatched it up just for that. Haven't tried the Limoncello, either; I tried the fancier LaCroixs (like, the cherry lime or whatever) and was not impressed.

Bubbly is legit, their cherry is probably my favorite of theirs.

Get a soda stream and make your own low or no sugar drinks.

Polar grapefruit and Lime are my favorites. AHA's Green tea citrus one is very nice if you want a little caffeine.

For unflavored I usually just make my own.


For anyone who still doesn't like seltzer, here's my story of how I actually started to like it: I was trying to cut down on nice beers to save money and to be a little healthier. One day at the grocery store, I picked up a 6 or 12 pack of Yuengling Light, and a 6 pack of unflavored seltzers. I remembered not liking seltzer when I tried it many years ago as a kid, but I figured maybe I'd try it sometime.

I drank the Yuenglings for a week or so, and then one night I decided to just try the seltzer. To my amazement, the unflavored seltzer had more flavor than the light beer, and tasted much better. :aaa: From then on, I've been in love with seltzer.

So, if you don't like seltzer, just drink some lovely light beer until your palate adjusts to thinking it's decent.

Do what I did, and for the same price (or less) you can build your own carbonation system.

That's pretty awesome actually! The soda stream refill bottles do get a bit expensive if you use it all the time.

Polar is my go-to as well, and I can’t tell if that’s because I’m a former Masshole or because it’s actually better. Their black cherry rules.

Schweppes can gently caress off with those tall, narrow cans, too, those always feel weird to me.

I picked up the LaCroix Hibiscus for the first time... most excellent, highly recommend. It makes a fantastic mixer, too.

Also got the LaCroix Cubana and Coffee Exotica from the Ni-Cola line. I really like the Cubana, though I could see some people finding it too toothpaste-esque. The Coffee Exotica is... fine. A bit weird, but fine.

Amelias also has a black cherry seltzer...with caffeine. Only the one flavor, but hey, its got about as much caffeine in a liter as about two cans of coke, and its not bad.

Ok so I didn't know what Seltzer is but it is the English version of Selters which is a mineral water with natural carbonation that tastes good.
So to answer the question which Seltzer water tastes good, the answer is Selters.

Other waters that are good are Gerolsteiner, which has a fuckton of minerals like magnesium or whatever.



Also, if you need to artificially put carbonation in your water, you spring is trash.

Naw Polar is clearly the best, it can just be a pain in the rear end to find the more out there flavors, which are almost always better.

Theres all these seltzer’s now that suddenly have added caffeine in them, which is alright I guess. I got one thinking it was black cherry flavor, which I love, but it’s black cherry AND coffee and, ughh, not a fan.

coconut is a polarizing flavour. winco sells chunks of dried coconut that are delicious but when i took some to work about half of people would never eat coconut on purpose.

topo was go-to but coke bought em so gently caress em anyway

thinking bout just getting a machine to do it myself, plain cold-or-warm-or-hot water is one o my favourite drink flavours anyway. has anyone tried making carbonated coffee? ive had coffee mixed with soda before, as a quick free breakfast and its pretty good.

I was raised drinking diet soda, to the point where regular soda tastes sickly sweet and feels like it leaves a weird coating on my teeth when I drink it.

I don't like plain water, so this is the next-best thing.

I'm in Seattle, but a lot of places here do Nitro-Brew coffee which tastes like a lightly-carbonated coffee (I really like it). Starbucks does it, so I'd be surprised if it weren't done lots of other places, too.

There's also the LaCroix Coffee Exotica flavor, but that isn't caffeinated, and definitely more on the "coffee-flavored water" spectrum.

coconut water (actual coconut milk, not flavored water) is my go to hangover cure. Or treatment. It makes me feel like I'm doing something to help myself, when I'm not actually doing poo poo. At least I'm hydrating.
