Sipping on that shit you can’t even say the name of without going feral like a dog getting exposed to a freshly mowed lawn. With names like these who needs any kind actual political views or desires?

      I’m not in recovery, but I don’t really drink and I’ve been meaning to give this stuff a try for that reason. It’s proof positive that marketing is effective propaganda - soda, lacroix, liquid death, all fundamentally the exact same shit but people treat them differently.

      My brother in law said that it was what helped him quit drinking. He said even when he’s alone the can size + slight fizz scratches that itch for him. It’s just overpriced water, but there’s no denying it works.

    Overpriced but the flavors are pretty good compared to Lacroix or other flavored seltzer.

    Except that one actually, it’s a very poor Arnold Palmer; tastes (and you’ll never believe this) really watered down. Not unlike the political messaging. 🥁

      When it comes to the tea ones I definitely prefer the Blueberry or Raspberry flavors. I have been drinking this one more since Peace Tea changed their formula, shrunk their cans, and raised their price. I’ve found that I really just don’t like the taste of High Fructose Corn Syrup anymore.

        Yeah, I’ve been on the market for a Peace Tea alternative too. Like you say, that corn syrup sweetness is just too much for me now.

        Yerbe Madre (big yellow cans) is pretty good still, if you like YM and don’t mind getting a lot of caffeine.

      Tried their sparkling energy drinks. Not only a horrible flavor but absolutely flat.

      Don’t like this trend of sparkling drinks not having any carbonation

    Its helped a lot of people i know stop drinking so i think its good, if still bad because its produced under the current mode of production and the recycle rate can’t be 100%(but probably still better plastic unless you’re reusing and love PFAS(yes u can get plastic bottles that don’t expose you to as much))
