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

Bonus religious connotation

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?

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 months ago (6 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

It's aftertaste as a flavor.

This is the best description I've read lol.

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 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?

No. Some people just can’t handle subtlety.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 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.

The Lemoncello is a strong delicious flavor.

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 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,

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (6 children)

I’ve heard Americans pronounce it La cRoy and I refuse to accept that

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Apparently that exact pronunciation is on their website.

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.

Hail Satan, my favorite pops

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