    Love it! I just found key lime flavor at Target. You wouldn't think it would be much different than the original lime, but oh my god, it is so good!

    I think it's absolutely disgusting, but I seem to be in the minority. To me, it tastes like what I'd imagine pop with absolutely no flavor to taste like. People at my work are obsessed with it.

    I enjoy orange LaCroix. If you're willing to pay more, strawberry Perrier is very nice.

    Not a fan. TBH, I've only tried the blackberry/cucumber flavor. I love both foods, so I thought it would be a good one to try! Nope. I managed to drink most of it, but it's not something I'll reach for next time I'm thirsty. Water is good enough for me. I can infuse cucumber if I want to. I've also bought other flavors, but after that first one, I don't even want to try the others. Now I don't know what to do with them. I've also got pineapple/strawberry and cranberry/raspberry flavors. My son tried the pineapple/strawberry one and hated it.

    I like the grapefruit and the lime. I really disliked the orange.
    At work I use our soda machine and get plain soda water and add a splash of lemonade- it’s seriously the best but I can’t recreate it at home

    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    For those who don't know (and find this kind of thing interesting), LaCroix was originally made by G. Heileman, the former brewer responsible for, yes, Old Style, among other terrible beers.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.

    Since when did Old Style become a terrible beer? That stuff pretty much defined my early twenties. The parts I can remember, anyway.

    Sparkling Ice is the best! Try it if you haven’t already

    Heh, okay. ;-)

    It was very often very cheap, that I'll say for it.

    I like it and drink a lot. I like the peach pear, passion fruit, apricot, and coconut the most. I like some of the other brands of sparkling water too. (But not all). I need to drink a lot of water because I get kidney stones and it helps.

    Passionfruit for the win! Lime, lemon, and grapefruit are good. Blackberry cucumber was really odd tasting to me. The last time my kids were sick, I gave them some thinking they might like to hydrate with something sparkly and flavored, but they didn't like it. I guess that's a good thing, though! :D

    Raspberry cranberry is the best one.

    One of my coworkers gave me one to try yesterday. It was horrible. If you like club soda, then you will like it.

    Apparently it has BPA in their cans, though. My friend's Austin office used to stock it but are phasing it out.

    I like sparkling Voss and sparkling smart water better. Topo chico is my jam too.

    I prefer Polar and Poland Springs Sparkling to LaCroix (I prefer drinking from plastic bottles with resealable screw tops to cans), and there are definitely flavors that I prefer compared to others. Overall sparkling water is an acquired taste--it took me a while, but I acquired it right around the time that I started drinking plain black coffee too...

    I switched to La Croix when I gave up my coke habit. I can't do Diet Coke or Coke Zero, so La Croix gets me the bubbles.

    I really like the Lemon and Lime. I also like their Curate flavors, specifically the Cherry-Lime and Strawberry-Pineapple.

    FWIW, I also really like Schweppe's Black Cherry flavor.

    I'm digging Sobe water, Strawberry Dragonfruit. I've used it the last couple of weeks in place of Dr.Pepper. I like the taste better if it is cold; However, the price is rather high buying it one at a time from my work cafe. I need to check out wholesale prices.

    LaCroix is just expensive club soda with like a squeeze of lime or a squeeze of grapefruit or w/e the flavor is and nothing else. If you like the flavor and don't mind the cost there is certainly nothing wrong with it...but its practically water and I don't typically buy water. I mean if you don't like plain water its pretty easy to just squeeze some lemon into a pitcher of water and there you go. If you need it to be bubbly pretty easy to get something that will carbonate your tap water and then just squeeze your fruit of choice into it and there you go.

    I get though that cost is relative and if you'd rather just buy it rather than make it for close to free then sure. Personally I think LaCroix is laughably overpriced for what it is....there is basically nothing in it.

    Love it. Fave flavor is tangerine, but it’s not consistently available and rarely on sale. Mango is gross. The first can of coconut is spectacular, but pretty much horrid after that (not sure why). We drink a lot of grapefruit, lime, and lemon. Really can’t go for those flavors that remind me of all the vegetation currently being soaked in perfectly good water (cucumber anything), but I am a curmudgeon and abhor change. :-)

    Theoretically I like it. But every time I buy it, my husband drinks it first. :/.

    I also like buying strawberry juice and mixing it with sparkling water. You could add some cayenne for a kick.
