General review of several flavors, some I like and some I don't
I normally drink bottled water, but have never found one I could tolerate after it reached room temperature. The flavor changes and I don’t like the taste. I checked out various brands of flavored water only to find most were packed with sugar. Being diabetic, that’s not a good option. I came across this Sparkling Ice on a recommendation list and saw that it is sugar-free so decided to try it. The one being advertised was Lemon Lime so I got a 12 count case of that. It was just ok, much better cold but I could drink it after it had sat on my bedside table all night so I wasn’t wasting it. Kind of reminds me of slightly flat Sprite. After 10 bottles I was bored with Lemon Lime so gave the last two bottles to a friend. Then I went looking and found several other flavors. Now let me say, if you are looking for something that fizzes like 7 UP, keep looking,. This is carbonated, but just enough to earn the Sparkling in the name. I take each bottle and turn it up-side-down, then upright again several times to thoroughly mix it. Try that trick with soda and you likely will be wearing it upon opening that bottle. This carbonation is just enough to give it a crisp flavor and a little zip. I ordered several mixed packs to try different flavors. I like the orange and strawberry. I love the kiwi-strawberry, that’s my favorite so far. The mango-orange comes in at a close second. The black raspberry and cherry limeade did not pass my taste test so they were passed along to others. I ordered more kiwi-strawberry and if I can find the mango orange that isn’t part of a mixed pack, I’ll grab that too. It’s less expensive than soda and better for you too. I haven’t given up my soda or coffee, but have added several flavors of Sparkling ICE to my thirst quenching arsenal. Read more
