    Carbonated flavored water. I do not understand how people can drink something that’s only claim to flavoring is that it at some point sat near a fruit of some kind.

      Do what I do do. Blame the Italians. I used to not be a fan but when I was in Italy the only water I could find was fizzy water and it was adapt or die. After a couple of days I was a convert. “Flavors” just add variety I could drink it carbonated plain all day every day.

        It’s not so much the carbonation I suppose. I like spicy water just as much as the next person but the flavors just taste like you threw up something kinda flavored and now you’re drinking it again.

        With that being said I do hope to one day get to Italy so I can try their version. I would imagine it’s much better.

      I love them. I think people compare them to soda and feel let down. The trick is to compare them to water. To me they’re like a water upgrade. Some flavor variety and when you’re thirsty I love how the carbonation doesn’t just quench your thirst, it ATTACKS it! Like you feel some mild pain if you drink too much too fast - which is a feature, not a bug!
