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

Bonus religious connotation

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 6 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

just not liking the teasing of flavor is all. If I want flavor I will drink the sugary ones, otherwise I will just drink plain water. Having nothing is better than unsatisfying amount that makes you want more.

Context? Does it taste bad or?

[–] Gigliorananomicom@sh.itjust.works 46 points 6 months ago (6 children)

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.

[–] gbuttersnaps@programming.dev 9 points 6 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 18 points 6 months ago

It's aftertaste as a flavor.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Ahhh I see 🀣

[–] iegod@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

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

No. Some people just can’t handle subtlety.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 11 points 6 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 6 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 6 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.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 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.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Hey .. that's not a bad idea.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 8 points 6 months ago

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

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 6 points 6 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.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand why people drink water uncarbonated. I got mytself a soda maker, though as the water is just fine here. I usually only add a drop of lemon juice.

I don't get people binging on liquid sugar drinks. Only a hint of syrup gives my bubbly water the idea of sweetness.

I wouldn't buy this crap though, I'd happily drink it for free.
