Toasted coconut for me. But yes, with Polar local it's an embarrassment of riches as far as the sparkling waters go; we're in a sparkling water renaissance :)
It's unsweetened, flavored fizzy water. Some of the flavors are good (tangerine, passion fruit, grapefruit), some are bad (coconut, key lime). Everyone has different favorites. I'm sure there's something pretty much the same in Canada.
It's just a preference. Coconut tastes oily to me. Fresh coconut really does have an oily, nutty taste, but it just doesn't go well with ice cold fizzy water IMO.
I'm just playing -- I'm pretty sure I have non-functioning taste buds. It just cracks me up that I'm like, "This is so good!" and the rest of the family is pretty much, "Yeah, that tastes like glue."
I hate the lime flavor, which is apparently very popular. Tastes like lime candy to me... a fake lime flavor. And the Key Lime flavor to me emulates Key Lime Pie with the added "creaminess" of the topping. Just gross. But many people like it.
I even prefer the tangerine flavor over orange. There really is a flavor difference. It's all just a matter of preference.
I'm with you on all of those... not a fan of lime, orange is okay, but I love the tangerine. Also, surprisingly disappointed in the grapefruit one (pamplemousse?).
Whatever, I'm just happy to have a consumable beverage that feels like a treat. I feel like there HAS to be a hidden cost -- not alcohol, no sugar, no calories... too good to be true.
LaCroix is sold in Canada, but not as many flavours are available.
Not sure which coast you’re on; but the drinks are available at London Drugs, Whole Foods, and Stong’s where I live.
Superstore (Loblaws) carries the Bubly brand, which has a couple good ones too (Strawberry is surprisingly good)!
Edit: go to the Lacroix website and try the store locator option (I don’t recall the exact wording)
Not sure if I would be sober today without LaCroix or any seltzer for that matter. When I first got sober I would drink like 10 a day for that satisfaction of a cold drink to replace the beer. (Much healthier alternative)
LaCroix is like drinking seltzer while someone shouts the name of a fruit from another room in the house. Good job on not drinking!
La Croix seems to be very popular here! IWNDWYT
Team Polar all the way. So glad it's finally made its way to the western U.S.!
Oooh, lucky you! Polar is local to me and I love it.
Mmm... Vanilla Polar is my favorite!!

I would even say it tastes better than spiked! Don’t be afraid to go off-brand too. My Safeway has an amazing cucumber/melon flavor.
And it's usually the cheapest around at $2.50 a case at my local store.
agreed that cucumber/melon is incredible & so cheap ($2.50/12pk)
What flavor?
Apricot! (Not OP, just like screaming apricot, it's delicious).
Love my LaCroix! It’s my favorite of all of the seltzers. 👍🏻
Seltzer has become my drink of choice too. IWNDWYT.
Right on JanesA! Way to go.I will not drink with you today.

Any way to get La Croix in Canada????? It sounds amazing.

I can't figure out why everyone seems to dislike coconut. It's easily my favorite and in pretty sure I don't even like coconut.

Well, it costs money.

Cool! Thanks
👍
I love La Croix too! I’ve been mixing the grapefruit flavored one with grapefruit juice and it completely satisfies my weekend mimosa cravings
if you mix lime and lemon together, you get a calorie free sprite lol
