slo’s FRIDAY poll - Bubly Sparkling Water

[slo]

What’s your opinion on Bubly Sparking Water?
If you like it, what flavors do you drink?
(multiple choice)


Personally.....I don’t like it at all
My DD(17) loves it though so I buy it for her.
So far she’s tried the cranberry & grapefruit and likes them both.

**I got the poll flavors from Meijers website and cranberry wasn’t included, so I forgot to add this to the poll. Sorry to the cranberry fans

I am not a fan of any sparkling waters (but my kids like them. I know grapefruit and lime are favorites, but I think they'll drink any.)

When I was young, my mother's cure-all for anything that ailed you was Alka-Seltzer. It made me throw up practically every time (and sometimes I did feel better after, but I still hated it.) All sparkling waters, regardless of flavor, remind me of Alka-Seltzer. I think I'm scarred for life. ;-)

I drink lemon seltzer. Does not really matter which brand. Lemon-lime is good also. What I do is mix it with a little bit of lemonade. About 3 to 1. Makes a slightly sweet lemony sparkling drink.

I don't drink any sparkling water......just plain water

 

[Dan Murphy]

I drink sparkling water, lemon, lime, berry sometimes, not often though. Never heard of this brand.

 

[RUDisney]

I'm a plain San Pellegrino fan, but I won't turn down any sparkling water that isn't flavored. If I want flavored, I'll add a wedge of lemon, lime or orange to it.

I absolutely LOVE this stuff and buy several cases a week; I keep one at home and on in my office and sometimes a third in the car. All those flavours listed aren’t available in Canada in the Bubly brand but of the ones that are I prefer cherry, grapefruit and blackberry. There’s another brand I buy that has a good watermelon and creme soda flavour, which at the moment is actually my favourite. I down at least 4 cans a day. Years ago if a prognosticator would have told me I’d be spending $15/week on canned water, I’d have thought they were crazy!

I've only had that particular brand a few times, but I'd drink anything but the cherry. I don't really like the fake cherry flavor in drinks. I have a Sodastream, so I make my own seltzer at home. I usually drink it with a splash of juice for flavor.

Just popped open a Cherry Bubly. Bought it because I like Cherry. It has a flavor, but it isn't cherry. Kind of a chemical aftertaste. I have purchased the strawberry in the past, but to be honest just plain is better

Bubly Sparking Water is a brand I’ve never heard of but have been drinking seltzer, club soda and unflavoured sparkling water for most of my life. My Nana and Papa used to have weekly deliveries of “shh water” and it was so much fun to visit them and be able to operate the bottles,LOL.

I flavor the liquid myself with various fruits,vegetables and syrups unless we are camping and need to carry less. Less sweet and more refreshing than most commercially available formulas plus less expensive too.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

I love San Pellegrino sparkling water but it's expensive.
I usually get LaCroix Orange is my favorite, then Lime

 

[Orion Nebula]

I ONLY drink sparkling / mineral water. It helped me get off my soda addiction a few years ago. Perrier is by far (IMO) the best. And it legit comes from a naturally carbonated spring in France so atlease your drinking real spring water. My second choice has always been Pellegrino and third La Croix. My wife has been buying me Bubly lately due to it being more budget friendly. And it's OK... but if people are starting to become more fond of fizzy water give some of the others a shot (yes I am passionate about this).

TLDR: I love sparkling water

 

[NAB]

I only drink it once and awhile. Will order it at fast food places if they have it.

I too used it to get off my Diet Coke habit. Now I can’t even drink it and wondered how I drank it at all , tastes terrible now....lol

 

[soccerdad72]

I'll buy it when the variety packs are on sale at Costco - I forget what flavors are usually in those, but I think I've had cherry, grapefruit and mixed berries. I like it for the most part - we've been drinking a lot more of those seltzer type drinks lately as we've cut out other sodas.

 

[J'aime Paris]

I buy Lime and keep on hand for my dad. He likes it with a bit of Brandy.
I don't drink it.

 

[MIGrandma]

I love sparkling water, and drink club soda almost daily. Any brand is fine, and I like perrier water, San pellagrino, Le Croix, just any really but mostly plain, no flavored. I will occasionally add a slice of lemon or lime.

 

[disneychrista]

I assume this tastes the same as the seltzer water that has been around forever. And no I’m. It a fan. Never tried any of the “new” fade ones.

 

[SueInBoston]

I only drink plain seltzer water, usually Costco's because it's less expensive. I don't like any flavored.

 

[mrodgers]

I drink Ice or whatever it is to have something on occasion with flavor that doesn't seem to be as bad as pop (soda or whatever you would call it in your area.) Aldis has Frost which is pretty much the same thing.

I bought a case of Bubly because it is so similar looking to the stuff I get and thought it was but was in a smaller quantity can. I dumped it all, it was gross. Not at all what I expected because I did think it was the same. I don't like the lightly flavored stuff that just barely tastes slightly more than water. I drink mostly water and a lot of it.

 

[Wendy31]

We drink both LaCroix & Bubly, but my absolute favorite is Bubly Grapefruit!

We used to get LaCroix all the time, but, within the last 6 months or so, we’ve started buying Bubly more often.

When I’m ordering groceries, I normally order Lemon, Lime, Orange, & Grapefruit.

DH also likes the Peach & different Berry flavors of both brands. I think they’re okay, but I prefer the citrus flavors. He likes to try the different flavors as well while I tend to stick to the ones we all like... there was one he got recently which the rest of us hated - it was a new LaCroix flavor & tasted like lemon cookies.

I do like the Cucumber flavor in the taller LaCroix cans, & I like the Bubly Apple flavor in the fall.

There’s one flavor of LaCroix that I think tastes like fish - maybe the Mandarin Orange?
