Flavored Waters/Sparkling Water

*The Deadman* · 02-07-2024, 08:38 AM

I started drinking this stuff called Waterloo and it's pretty damn tasty. Got the Orange Vanilla and Blackberry Lemonade flavors, need to try the others. Also had something called Sparkling Ice which is kinda like soda but it's still water lol. Does anyone here drink it as well? If you do, what's your go to?

Regular flavored waters are okay, but don't tend to drink them. I think flavored sparkling water is one of those love it or hate it kind of things.

I recently finally grabbed a couple bottles of the remake of Clearly Canadian for old times sake -- I loved it in my teens -- and it was still pretty okay. (I might buy it again on a rare occasion if I catch it on sale, but only Acme is carrying it here so of course it's overpriced.

) However, a couple times I've tried modern brands (I think one was ICE and can't recall the other) I couldn't stand them. To me they tasted like drinking jet fuel or something, there was so little in the way of real flavor.

Guess I'll stick with the Clearly Canadian. (Unless someone has any suggestions that are similar to it.)

edit: Correction, I forgot about Vitamin Water, a non-sparkling flavored water, I do enjoy that for work sometimes.

All I know is that quite a few of those flavored waters are considered cancer-in-a-bottle. The only one over time that seems to be universally seen as beneficial is Gatorade. But Vitawater and Power Aid and all of the rest routinely seem to be revealed somewhere as "cancer fuel".

I dunno. Next year they will all be the "best thing you can do for your body" so who knows.

I like the ICE ones. The Cherry Limeade and Grape Raspberry are delicious imo. I just got one from the store yesterday.

Hint was also good but the fruit flavor is just slightly noticeable...of course the name Hint

Those little flavor packets or squeeze tubes you add to a glass of water are pretty good too. There’s a huge variety. Kool-Aid, Crush, Hawaiian Punch etc...It depends. I’ve only tried a few. I have a Tang one that’s good. I don’t drink them very often or soda. Maybe once a week. I mostly just have straight water.

Powerade is basically just another brand of Gatorade. Never tried Vitawater.
