Yay or Nay?? Sometimes I get tired of drinking plain water all the time but I don’t want to pick back up soda. Anyone have any reviews on La Croix?

    The mango was mad gross, which is weird because I love the fruit. I'm low-key addicted to the grapefruit flavor.
    Lacroix is life. :D

    Blackberry cucumber! Although I'm also really enjoying Dasani's Blood Orange and White Peach sparkling waters, too -- definitely worth a try!

    Not my thing, personally. Maybe I just haven't tried a flavor I like. I have some friends for whom that's all they drink.

    I like Spindrift waters - they have real fruit and are only a couple of calories. From their website: "..no chemicals. No preservatives. Nothing artificial. As few ingredients as possible. All real fruit. Yup, that’s it."

    They make great appetite suppressants when you are a hour or so from dinner and need something to fill you up.

    Blood orange sounds delicious, where'd you find it? I've never seen it in my store.

    Never tried it, but I do enjoy most sugar-free carbonated drinks! I've been drinking Diet Coke for so long I don't remember what the regular stuff tastes like, haha.

    La Croix is my jam. Go for it. You won't be disappointed.

    I keep trying to like it. My husband loves it (especially lime flavor) so we have it at home and my employer provides it, so it's free here at work (various flavors). But, for some reason I can't get used to the "dry" taste of it. I don't know how to explain it. But most people seem to like it, so if you do, drink away!

    Here in texas we have flavors tailored to a latino market, which is awesome. The lime-cherry is fantastic.

    I add Stevia sweetener to it and my favorite flavors are Lemonade and Lime.

    I love La Croix. It's more pleasant to drink than plain water, but has 0 calories. I like it a lot more than diet soda, as I'm not a fan of artificial sweeteners. That said, some people I know can't stand it. If you do, though, drink up!

    I've enjoyed La Croix whenever I get one, but this was a trendy item for me. I liked it enough for the first box I purchased, but I haven't bothered buying another box of cans since. I'll sometimes grab a single when I just don't feel like drinking just water.

    Trendy and expensive. My local stop and shop brand gets the job done for 1/4 the price. But I do love carbonated water now, way more than "regular" water.

    Coconut is delicious. Great for mixing low calorie drinks!

    I always think it's funny that people think it's trendy (as a couple people said upthread), since it's been around here forever.

    Even found an article about that: https://www.vox.com/2016/6/20/11666314/lacroix-sparkling-water-seltzer

    "In the 1990s, LaCroix was the favorite drink of Midwestern moms. How did it get so cool?"

    For those who don't know (and find this kind of thing interesting), LaCroix was originally made by G. Heileman, the former brewer responsible for, yes, Old Style, among other terrible beers. The name comes from a combination of the city of La Crosse (where G Heileman was located) and the St. Croix River.

    It is the only drink I like really cold. Most everything else I like just a little more towards room temperature, but carbonated water tastes horrible if it is really really cold. At least to me.

    I think it tastes horrible. Honestly I like the store brand at my King Soopers / Kroger way better. Walmart has a good store brand too. The store brands have more fruit flavor and less seltzer flavor.

    I drink flavored, unsweetened, carbonated water all the time and have since long before LaCroix became a "thing." I don't tend to drink LaCroix terribly often because it tends to be more expensive than other brands. You can basically buy this stuff based on flavor and price. I like some flavors but not others and that's true for all the brands I've had. I particularly like the wide variety of flavors from Polar which is about the middle of the price range but that doesn't mean I don't buy the store brand one occasion, especially when it hits 50-cents a bottle!

    Among the brands I've tried: Aldi's, Trader Joe's, Syfo, Polar, Deer Park, LaCroix, Vintage ... They're all perfectly function adequate.

    I like the Target brand, tastes as good as LaCroix and is about $2 cheaper. I also like the Aquafina Dragonfruit flavor. I sometimes just buy plain seltzer and add a tablespoon of cherry or pomegranate juice. It's not zero calorie, but the flavor is good.

    I love it because it's not too sweet! Its the only thing I drink besides water and black coffee. I HATE sweet drinks, they make me sick just thinking about it. They also have free la croix at my office which is great. I probably have a can once a month when I'm in the mood

    Lemon, lime and grapefruit are awesome. The other flavors I've tried, not so much. I can't even stomach a regular soda anymore. Way way too sweet.

    You either like it or you don't, I don't think there's really an in between. I love it! My favorite flavors are the peach pear, cran-raspberry, and berry! My least favorite are coconut and the plain one. And if you have an Aldi buy you they often times have cases of it for a little bit cheaper!

    I know what you mean. I don't even find it thirst-quenching and I struggle to drink much of it, although I don't actually dislike it. I will stick with Coke Zero.
