Not-drinking is pretty awesome. Slowly but surely I'm watching more and more people who swore they would never touch LaCroix picking up cans of fizzy water instead of beers.

It's 2019, we out here drinking water, getting to bed at a reasonable time most nights. Woo!

This is not the motto I imagined as a kid that would get me out of bed in the morning, but now that I'm here, I fucking love it.

My girlfriend and I both had a come-to-jesus moment recently about LaCroix. After years of making fun of it, she admitted that she actually kind of likes it and...I had to admit the same.

It's not as flavorful as I'd like, but it's hard to argue with how healthy it is as an alternative. Damn my adult, nutritionally-aware self!

Dudes and dudettes: There is this stuff called Spindrift. It's seltzer water with a tiny bit of actual juice, so a can will have 13 calories per. It's not sweet at all, it's mostly an aftertaste, but it's not aspartame or artificial sweetener! I recommend it.

...Fuck. I need some.

I feel like someone who just got converted to Christianity, only to fall for a sex cult six months later

I get so smug when I hand a Lacroix to someone who used to tease me for liking them.

They really should sponsor me at this point.

They don't even need to give me money tbh, I'd be thrilled with just one LaCroix to drink for every one I hand out

My new dream

You'll have gone fully to the dark side when you buy a Sodastream and just mix it with grapefruit juice.

Are those canisters a pain in the ass to recycle?

kleinbl00  ·  2000 days ago  ·  link  ·  

You don't recycle 'em, you exchange 'em. Pretty much any OfficeMax, Staples, BBB, etc. They'll also deliver.

I know what I'm getting for Festivus.

everywhere has the little bottles. Nowhere has the big bottles. Choose accordingly.

The family is really into soda lime and bitters right now, even my eight year old.

I am partial to the lemonade/limeade seltzer line that Polar put out recently. Really like the watermelon lemonade and mango limeade ones.
