What's the best fizzy water?
What's the best fizzy water?
I am getting tired of Topo Chico’s antics. What are your alternatives that you enjoy?
My tapwater is great. And if I want it fizzy I have a machine to mix it with CO2.
Hydro homie respect
Same here. Tap + sodastream and Mio if I want a bit of flavor. Farm Boy (Canadian Whole Foods style grocer) has the best canned water tho. The flavors are so light and delicious. Orange & Vanilla or Pineapple take the top spots for me.
What happened with Topo Chico? They've always been my go-to soda water.
Not sure what OP's reasonings are, but the brand is owned by Coca-Cola, which has ties with Israel and operates a bottling factory in the occupied West Bank.
Ah, that makes sense, thanks!
According to Consumer Reports, Topo Chico consistently tested the highest for PFAS among carbonated waters. But they also said almost all store-bought carbonated waters tested positive for PFAS.
Polar Seltzer
I remember reading somewhere posted a while back on a social media aggregated site where a bunch of professional food taste testers unanimously agreed Polar was the best.
Liquid death
The dead billionaire is fantastic.
Orange Vanilla by polar springs.
Or anything in my DIY sodastream setup ;)
Ok, the curious masses are asking about your DIY Sodastream setup.
How fizzy does it make the water? I weirdly love super fizzy - the biggest thing I liked about Coke products.
It is nothing fancy.
I have an old SodaStream that I picked up second hand for 20 bucks, and an adapter from amazon that lets me hook up to a bar/resto sized CO2 container.
Add in a 5 foot extension line from a bar setup so that it can live up on a shelf and we are done.
The savings are remarkable. Instead of 20 bucks for 60litres of water, which I go through in about ten days, I get about 5 months of super bubbly water for 45 bucks total.
This is a crazy recommendation but I think Canada dry plain seltzer is basically as good as topo Chico. I got some at a gas station the other day cause I was dying of thirst and it was as good as topo Chico my wife thought so too.
I like Waterloo for their flavors, but very little hits that super carbonation level that topo Chico does.
I have a soda stream I was gifted used from my aunt, and I like my tap water so I should give that a go.
Waterloo Grape is the closest to an actual sugar-soda taste I've had. Does a great job at fooling your mind and tastes like grape. I also like the Ginger-lime combos from them and Nixie. Ginger does a lot to add flavor.
I drink pamplemousse La Croix. I just really enjoy it, way more than any other flavor or brand.
Loka and Ramlösa are very nice, I especially like Ramlösa Svarta Vinbär!
Endast andra land har likasom vatten är tjeck. Men det har 4g socker i deras vatten och DWM har aven druvor smak. Jättegott.
If you're only talking about plain I don't have a recommendation, but for flavored I prefer Waterloo.
I've tried a bunch but found almost all the bottled fizz I can buy to be quite bitter. I own one of those carbon sifon things now. Probably better known as sodastream in the Americas
Gerolsteiner
Personally my favourite is Nabeghlavi. I'm assuming that you're in North America based on your current choice, in which case I checked and you're in luck they do actually distribute to the US and Canada so you might want to look out for it but I imagine that as it's imported it would be a bit pricey.
Maresca
Mineragua is my go-to these days.
Spindrift
Jarritos Mineragua isn't bad, and comes in glass bottles, but I still like Topo Chico in glass the most. I don't drink it often though.
I love liquid deaths flavored sparkling water
Personally a San Pellegrino person but significant others hate small bubbles, Saratoga Springs seems to be the best compromise in the small vs big bubble debate.
San Pellegrino belongs to Nestlé. Fuck Nestlé!
Fuck Nestlé!
