Dude, practically all I drink is unsweetened fruit flavored sparkling water. So good. Essence of fruit without any sugar or sweetener.
Same. I like carbonation and so the options are soda (bad for you) or beer (bad for you). And I enjoy both but I don't want to drink them every day.
I originally didn't like sparkling water, then I found flavors I liked and realized it's a great, zero-calorie alternative to any other beverage for dinner.
Make sure to drink plenty of plain water though. Carbonated water can make enamel brittle, specially if it's citrus flavored, as it will be more acidic. I really don't understand the North Americans (and other affluent cultures) fixation with sparkling water. But I come from a culture that used to be addicted to malta. So whatever floats your boat.
I've become addicted to the limoncello or coconut flavored la Croix.
I have no idea why people are so against sparkling water.
Mango or strawberry Bubly for me.
Children don't like bitter acid water.
Personally I'm just pissed everyone stopped making caffeinated seltzer for some reason.
Weird. All the kids in my family love it. They always ask for "pop water" when they come over. Also Target still sells caffeinated seltzer.
