(24 pk) Liquid Death Sparkling Mountain Water

I wanted to hate this because it was so expensive and gimmicky, but the truth is that it’s the best sparkling water I’ve ever had in almost 40 years of life, and I am going to be crushed if/when they stop selling it. For starters, the biggest difference is in the way its carbonated. They use “beer carbonation” instead of “soda carbonation,” and that means that the bubbles are almost smaller. More frizzante than in your face bubbles. That does remove the subtle bitterness in the aftertaste of regular sparkling beverages. I didn’t know there *was* bitterness in regular sparkling beverages, but we did a blind taste test with some friends between the two, and sure enough, it was a marked difference in flavor when tasted side by side. Everyone preferred the Liquid Death, hands down (and then we all swore a blue streak because we wanted to prefer the cheap stuff). The other bubble advantage in Liquid Death sparkling water lies in the size of the bubbles themselves. They’re smaller—significantly so—meaning you get all the sparkly goodness, but in a form that is much easier to chug. You can drink it faster when you’re thirsty, and you end up with less of that bloated, gassy feeling in your stomach after a healthy swig of the stuff. If you’re like me, you forget to drink until you’re TOO thirsty, frantically dehydrated, and desperate to pour a ton of fluid into your body at once. Liquid Death makes that easy! If you’re like me, you ALSO hate drinking anything without bubbles in it, leaving you stuck with soda (bad for you), beer (also not good for you), champagne (makes you silly), and things like La Croix type water with fruit “essence” (good for you, but not delicious and makes you gassy. My kids say that one tastes like “water with fruit farts,” and I think they’ve pretty much nailed the description). BUT NOT ANYMORE!! Now there’s an easy to drink, clean tasting, refreshing as can be option called liquid death. Sure, it may cost as much as my car payment to stay stocked up, but it’s worth it. P.s. makes a KILLER mixer. We’ve tried it mixed with everything from Martinelli’s apple juice to A&W Root Beer to 365 brand Cherry Vanilla soda (also at Whole Foods) and every single combination has been absolutely killer. I have friends who come help with yard work just so I’ll make them one of those cherry vanilla/liquid death spritzers, calling it “maybe the most refreshing drink I’ve ever had.” And they’re right. It’s super refreshing, and cuts the calories of the totally delicious cherry vanilla soda in half, but adds to the awesomeness rather than detracts from it. 10/10. Please don’t stop carrying this without telling me in advance so I can buy a semi-trailer of the stuff??
