FIZZ SQUAD

Adirondack

Grape

🫐 berry

Run don't walk if you spot this beauty on a shelf near you. This is a rare bird, but one of the best in the game in the soda-like genre. If you're like me and long for the taste of a Welch's Grape soda - this is for you. The taste is similar in the best way. Standard bub.

Topo Chico

Original

🥂 classic

You get this bubble master in a glass bottle and life is good. Solid but not over bearing minerality. A breath of fresh air. Solid bub density. Slightly above average in bub size. A classic for a reason.

Polar

Rub Red Grapefruit

🍋 citrus

Big, high-velocity bubbles. Can be left for an hour and still have bubbles. Flavor leans natural with noticeable citrus/grapefruit notes. This is a classic, aligned to expectations. A big bub classic.

Basically

THe Lemon Lime Kind

🍋 citrus

I’m not proud of how much I like this store-brand sparkling water. But I have to be honest: it slaps. Yes, the wafer-thin can is alarming, but the light citrus taste and balanced carbonation make this eminently chuggable. Punches well above its weight. Could easily have two or three in a single sitting.

Waterloo

Black Cherry

🫐 berry

Understand why they call it "water"loo, this is mucho diluted. Decent but light flavor profile. Ugly trucker can. Weak, small, low density bubble. But a decent flat water substitute.

Basically

The Cherry Vanilla Kind

👽 weird

More a gentle beverage than a fizzy seltzer. Thin can and timid bubbles that fizzle out fast. Cherry aspects taste natural and pleasant, while the vanilla leans a bit artificial. This could work for a vanilla-Coke soda fan but not win everyone over.

LaCroix

Pamplemousse

🍋 citrus

The OG mystery flavor. It 100% does not work for me, but does for some. Those people also likely enjoyed lima beens as a kid.

Polar

Pickle Juice Splash

👽 weird

We TRIED to like it. Brine bubbles are simply a bridge too far for most carbon-based life forms.
