New to the sparkling water scene.

I like Bubly but I know that’s considered a gateway or entry point into the sparkling water world. Spindrift is decent but sometimes the flavor is too strong for me.

I’ve seen that Waterloo is extremely popular right now and Polar. Are these twos flavor profiles as light as Bubly?

Waterloo Ruby Red Tangerine-SO GOOD

This is so good! I’ve never seen this flavor before. I found a 12 pack on Amazon. Also, can everywhere just sell 12 packs please, thanks.

Sparkling Waters are very subjective flavors...how do you feel about my rankings?

About 3 years ago I decided to ditch the soft drinks and try replacing it with sparkling waters, flavored. In that time I've had my fair share, but generally limited to a certain few brands. I live in Appalachia and while we have some good options, we also can be limited at times. I'd love to know how others feel about these.

  • Bubly Lime: Not a bad flavor. Holds up fairly well in comparison to other limes. I find Bubly finishes with a slightly off, almost metallic aftertaste. The lime is crisp and refreshing.

  • Waterloo Lemon-Lime: My top tier lime style flavor. It's not Sprite, but a fairly mild sparkle and great flavor.

  • Liquid Death Severed Lime: No. It had a very chemical style flavor.

  • Spindrift Lime: The "flavored juice" was a funky flavor when I was wanting lightly flavored water here.

  • Topo Chico Lime and Mint: It almost made me think of a mint julip a bit? Not bad, but not my favorite.

  • Sparking Ice Lemon Lime: Maybe it was the day, but this isn't for me.

  • Nixie Lime Ginger: I really enjoyed this one. It starts with the zing of the lime and then finishes with a ginger flavor. Super enjoyable and gave me gingerale vibes.

  • LIME: Toss-up between Nixie and Waterloo here. Nixie if I'm wanting a Ginger Ale flavor, Waterloo if I want a Sprite/7up flavor.

  • Bubly Blackberry: This was one of my first favorites. It was great. The "metallic" aftertaste of this one is stronger pronounced than in the Bubly Lime.

  • Waterloo Blackberry Lemonade: This is my primary go to flavor. I love this one. It's very refreshing. I can sip on this all day and replace water with it!

  • Good and Gather Black Raspberry Acai: So it isn't blackberry but it is a very similar style flavor. I really enjoyed this one. Not as much as Waterloo, but still pretty tasty.

  • Maison Perrier Forever Blackberry: This one SLAPS! I am very much enjoying this one. It isn't a water replacement but feels like a treat!

  • Blackberry-ish: Waterloo wins again for me for everyday drinkability but the Maison Perrier is right behind it and would win on taste.

  • Bubly Blueberry-Pomegranate: Nice flavor. This one is tasty. Smooth finish. Bubly, to me, has a bit of a metallic finish but this one hides it well.

  • Waterloo Blueberry: This one is hard as hell to find. I typically find the Very Berry instead of the plain blueberry. It's good though.

  • Aha Blueberry-Pomegranate: Really enjoyed Bubly more than this one. It's good and refreshing, but not an everyday drink.

  • Polar Blueberry Lemon: Very daily drinkable. It's very mild. It felt like it had a blueberry gently wafted over it to get the flavor in there.

  • Topo Chico Blueberry Hibiscus: The only sparkling water I have had that felt like it was a soda. This one is amazing!

  • Blueberry: Topo Chico is my favorite in this flavor. A close second is the Bubly.

  • Bubly Orange Cream: I see what they were trying to do in replicating a Cream Soda. It tried, but to me, it failed.

  • Waterloo Orange Vanilla: Okay, this one did give me creamsicle vibes.

  • Topo Chico Tangerine Ginger: It's pretty good. I liked it, but I don't see myself drinking it often, more of one at a time drink.

  • Orange: I need to try more in this category. Waterloo wins for me.

  • Bubly Strawberry: It didn't give me full on strawberry. It tasted like a watered down strawberry.

  • Waterloo Strawberry: Good flavor. Not my favorite, but more strawberry forward than Bubly.

  • Nixie Strawberry Hibiscus: It tastes like grandma's strawberry candy. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is a sometimes thing. Not my favorite.

  • Strawberry: Waterloo wins for me in this one.

  • Bubly Raspberry: Tried it, wasn't a big fan.

  • Waterloo Raspberry Nectarine: I liked it pretty well. I found Raspberry almost too tart for my taste overall.

  • Waterloo Summer Berry: The blend of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries hit just right for me on this one. One of my favorites.

  • General Berry: Waterloo Summer Berry hits!

  • Waterloo Ginger Citrus Twist: Not sure if this is a category, but I like this one. It's a ginger-ale clone and does a good job of that. It's not a drink all day thing, but a once a while.

  • Waterloo Grape: I'm not sure what they did here, but this one is simply amazing to me. It tastes exactly like a grape soda to me and I'm hear for it.

I think that's all the ones I've had so far. I prefer Waterloo over Bubly. I have had La Croix, but it was before my sparkling water kick and don't remember them being as tasty. I'm not near a Target so getting Good & Gather is a bit of a challenge.

What flavors should I try that I haven't? What brands are out there that I'm missing out on?

Thoughts on Kimono sparkling water ?

I like their fruit sparkling drinks but saw the water somewhere and it looked nice, online it does cost like 3 a can, and it was about 4 in the store.

Is it worth it ?

Best mildly carbonated?

I love sparkling water but I don’t like it too…. too bubbly if that makes sense?

Brands that are too bubbly: Trader Joe’s sparkling, so bubbly it’s hard to drink right out the bottle. Polar sparkling. This “seltzer” was SO CARBONATED and it never flattened. Why are they so bubbly?

Perfect for me: Lacroix, “Italian mineral water”, the German mineral water they sell at TJs , Topo Chico

The best cherry flavored sparkling water there is

My absolute favorite. Very flavorful with just the right amt of fizz. I always buy mine at Walgreens and go through at least a bottle a day

Honestly my least favorite sparkling water. I like Cherry and Lime flavors, but on their own. I love the Nixie strawberry, but this flavor is just not for me.

I can’t make the soda stream switch

Hey to all my Michigan neighbors or other deposit states. The can consumption and returning is endless over here. I’ve tried soda stream, but it’s just not the same!

Which store has the best selection of sparkling water? So far for me it’s Sprouts and Whole Foods.

I bought Mineragua at Sprouts before the price increased and it’s amazing!

Awesome. Surprised how good these are...

On sale at my local Albertson's. Grabbed an embarrassing amount. Love how clean it tastes and all ingredients are natural and quite refreshing! Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Anybody else's SO/loved ones express concerns over their seltzer habit?

Respectfully, my bf can mind his own damn business But is there really an issue if I like to drink seltzer because I LIKE to burp?! I don't burp in front of him but he thinks it's weird that I do like to burp in general.

Tropical Mango Sabores

This flavor is so much better than the 3 widely distributed ones. Does anyone know if this is going to be distributed more? Are they test marketing this flavor? Will it see the light of day across the US? It’s not even on Topo Chico’s website.
