Bubly Sparkling Water, Tropical Thrill Variety Pack, 12 fl oz. Cans,

So, you know the joke about how la Croix tastes like someone was just thinking about fruit when it was canned, and not like an actual flavor? Well, Bubly is the exact opposite of that! I started drinking Seltzer when I cut back on sugar, and I honestly don't even miss the soda. My favourites (some aren't in this pack, but they make bigger packs) are strawberry, blackberry, peach, cherry, watermelon, and grapefruit. They actually smell like the fruit (and smell is most of taste!), and the hint of flavor is identifiable. Not too mineral-y like some seltzers, but absolutely not flat. I'd have a permanent stock if I wasn't trying to reduce waste, but I'll still get them while travelling and whenever I want a flavoured pick-me-up. P.S. If you like hard seltzer but think ... MoreSo, you know the joke about how la Croix tastes like someone was just thinking about fruit when it was canned, and not like an actual flavor?

Hiya! Who does not like a fizzy sensation in their throat? I know I do. I used to be such a soda drinker and now all I taste is sugar. I am in love with this Bubbly mango flavor. 0 calories, no sodium. The sparkling water is so refreshing. No artificial sweeteners and recyclables.

BEST taste, NO calories, NO artificial anything!

Finally, there is a beverage that not only tastes great, it quenches my thirst and stops my cravings for worse choices. All natural and no artificial anything makes this an amazing product!I cannot stand artificial sweeteners. Some of them cause me serious problems. Besides the bad aftertaste from all of them, they are a nightmare as far as overall health is concerned. Any doctor worth his/her salt will tell you they are as bad as, if not worse than, sugar.As far as price goes, do some math! This 18 pack costs more per can than the 8 pack. Beyond that, check your local ads for other grocery stores. I have gotten 12 pks on a BOGO deal, which ended up being $4.99 for 24 cans (just a fraction of a cent more than $0.20 per can).My favorites are lime, grapefruit, ... MoreFinally, there is a beverage that not only tastes great, it quenches my thirst and stops my cravings for worse choices.

I’ve also tried cherry and strawberry. As soon as I find the rest of the flavors,I’ll be trying them, too. All of them taste great, so it is just a matter of flavor preference.

[Rewarded Review] A lively drink

If you like flavored sparkling water then you will love this product. Of the three flavors, my favorite is the Mango, second would be the Lime and then Grapefruit. This isn't to say the Grapefruit flavor is unpleasant, it has a nice taste. For me the reason Grapefruit comes in last is simply because the fruit grapefruit is not one of my favorites. Whereas, who doesn't love fresh mango? Who doesn't pick out the mango pieces of a dried fruit mix?Anyhow, I think one of the strongest points going for this product is the it comes in 12oz cans and contains a lot of carbonation--think of how bubbly Coca-Cola was thirty years ago!It's also possibly where the names comes from. With a 12oz can, this means you can enjoy and sip a can for 30 minutes and it'll still have ... MoreIf you like flavored sparkling water then you will love this product.

It came in a large cardboard box with cardboard dividers, meaning unlike soda-can cases, you have to remove the individual cans from the box and place in the fridge. Is this the end of the world? Nah, it just shows how spoiled a consumer I've become, yet it wouldn't stop me from purchasing this product.I would recommend this to anyone, at least try it. You'll probably like it.

[Rewarded Review] Delicious real flavor; happy sayings U will smile!

Say "hello!" to my absolute new favorite, go-to beverage (and I bet it will be your's too!)Unlike sparkling waters that have a funky chemical aftertaste or a certain fake fruit taste. Bubly not only smells great, but your sense of taste and smell feel happy just drinking this lightly flavored sparkling water.Bubly has no artificial sweeteners and is totally zero sugar and zero carbs. Zero artificial sweeteners!The many flavors really taste like the fruits they represent. (The mango smells and tastes like a freshly cut juicy mango! Grapefruit taste is light, like you crushed up a grapefruit fruit and put it in! Soooo fresh! Lime reminds me of a lightly flavored lemon/lime soda - this is sooo actually refreshing!)Neither the carbonation bubble or the flavors ... MoreSay "hello!" to my absolute new favorite, go-to beverage (and I bet it will be your's too!)Unlike sparkling waters that have a funky chemical aftertaste or a certain fake fruit taste.

I've been avoiding soda and drinking different types and brands of flavored waters since the 1990s. I really like the level of carbonation fizziness and the fruit flavor taste of these new flavors by Pepsi.The packaging is simply adorable! All the pop tops have a sweet, little, pun-like greeting or saying in the circle on top of the can. Opening each can makes me smile. (Know any nice cubes?)Bubly is perfect for summer patio gatherings! Bubly could make a great foundation mixer for low-cal adult beverages.

[Rewarded Review] Disappointed

When I first got this I was excited looking at their advertising and knowing I needed to drink more of this and less of soda due to my health. I had been looking for something that would quench my thirst, give me the carbonation I craved and not sugar me into a diabetic coma. This did not live up to the task in a few of these categories.I gave some to a couple of people and asked for the their thoughts in case I was being overly harsh.The results were unanimous.Now by no means was this nasty or anything and if you like this sort of beverage, then go for it but for me I found it lacking. The biggest disappointment was the taste. They offer it in 8 flavors. Unfortunately I got three flavors which were not my cup of tea. I may have liked the others.What I first ... MoreWhen I first got this I was excited looking at their advertising and knowing I needed to drink more of this and less of soda due to my health.

The first I tried was the lime and then the grapefruit and both smelled great but when I took a sip of it, all I got was carbonated water...which I don't like. The taste did not live up to the great smell.This is great for the no calories or sugar...just natural flavoring, but they needed MORE flavoring. If you like plain carbonated water, then this would be good for you.

I tried three flavors of the sparkling water: grapefruit, mango, and lime. When I first opened the cans, I could smell each water and they smelled like grapefruit, mango, and lime. The carbonation bubbles were light and not as many as regular soft drinks. When I tasted the drinks, I expected the flavors to be like they initially smelled, but they did not. I found the grapefruit flavor to be very slight and bitter. I like regular grapefruit juice so a tart drink is fine with me. If I had not seen the can, I never would have guessed I was drinking grapefruit water. It tasted like tart carbonated water. The mango drink had a little fruit flavor after-taste, but not enough to taste like mangos. The lime drink tasted like a watered-down Sprite.

The mango drink had a little fruit flavor after-taste, but not enough to taste like mangos. The lime drink tasted like a watered-down Sprite. It was fine that the flavors were very light, but any flavor that might have been there was over-powered by the carbonation. I did not enjoy the waters. I have had flavored non-carbonated waters that were refreshing. These waters were on the bitter side. They might be fine if used as a mixer with grapefruit or mango juice. Alone, they are just bitter carbonated water.

[Rewarded Review] Perfect for those 95 degree days!

We ordered a three flavor variety sampler of bubly sparkling water in convenient in 12 ounce cans. This is enough to slake a big thirst. But, unlike the typical 1 liter bottle, it is not too big to finish at one sitting. The one liter bottles do have a tendency to go flat pretty quick once opened.I have sampled the Lime, Mango and Grapefruit flavors and found each of them to be very refreshing with hint of flavor in every sip. The soda does not seem as “salty” as some of the brands I have had in the past.Chilled, straight from the can, is a great option to the “big brand” sodas.This beverage is very carbonated, much more than some of the popular sugary and diet sodas on the market.

Any of the flavors I have had make a great mixer if you are looking for a spritzer type drink.I also found that mixing the Mango flavored soda with lemonade creates a peach soda-like refreshing, less fizzy beverage. Mixing the Grapefruit flavor with lemonade creates a refreshing “50/50” or perhaps a “Tom Collins” flavored beverage. And of course, who does not like a lemon lime soda?I am putting bubbly on my regular shopping list from now on.

[Rewarded Review] Too salty in flavor

I tried 3 of the flavors available; lime, mango, and grapefruit, I don’t believe I’ll be trying any other. Each flavor is very effervescent, a lot more than I desire and more so than flavored soda. The carbonation seems to add a salty flavor to the drink. The can says “mango flavor with other natural flavors” don’t know what the ‘other’ natural flavors are. If potassium bicarbonate; a natural product, was used for the carbonation then it answers where the saltiness flavor comes from.Next, I tried the grapefruit flavor, it wasn’t any less salty than the mango. The grapefruit flavor left an aftertaste reminding me of biting into grapefruit pith; leaving a dry bitter taste. Although some would consider this as a refreshing flavor, I’m not one of them.The lime bubly ... MoreI tried 3 of the flavors available; lime, mango, and grapefruit, I don’t believe I’ll be trying any other.

I didn't mind the lime flavor especially if I mixed it with a juice or even an adult beverage.I originally tried each flavor directly out of the chilled can; be prepared to burb for a few minutes. I then tried it over ice in a glass. There was no difference in flavors nor the saltiness. I then let my family have a go at it. I wanted to know if it was just me and how they would react. Their reactions were immediate and the same; tastes salty and leaves an after flavor.I was hoping to find an alternative to soda, this won’t be it.

I absolutely love the branding of these cans. The name is adorable, the colors are look refreshing, and understated. Each can has a cute message under the tab. The tabs are the same color as the can, a little detail but it caught my eye. There are a lot of little details that make this product look playful and fun. The little messages are sweet, maybe a little cheesy, but they make me smile. One can said "Oh Hi", another can said "haaay", maybe silly, but I do look forward to reading them. There is also a cute message on each can "I feel like I can be open with u" or "hold cans with me". I don't know how many variations of the messages there are, but I hope they change frequently. I like to read them. I want to love this water, and I feel like it must be an aquired ... MoreI absolutely love the branding of these cans.

I don't know how many variations of the messages there are, but I hope they change frequently. I like to read them. I want to love this water, and I feel like it must be an aquired taste. If I continue to drink it I will begin to love it. I am at the point of liking the taste so far, baby steps to love. I prefer sparkling water, with a lot of fizz. The Bubly waters offer me the fizz I want in my water, and I do appreciate that. I just don't like the taste, yet. My palate has been trained to prefer the taste of sweetened fruit, along with the calories, which I don't want.The waters have no sweeteners, no artificial flavor, and no calories. They also are 12 ounce cans, and 20 ounce bottles. This size is enough to make me feel re-hydrated as opposed to the smaller fruit waters I typically drink. The grapefruit Bubly is my least favorite. The grapefruit water gave me indigestion, and has a lingering sour after taste. By far my favorite has been the mango Bubly. I will definitely continue to buy these.I think it tastes like eating a mango and drinking a sparkling water at the same time. It's good! I am still not a big fan of the lime Bubly, but there is an acid flavor about it that I find intriguing. Also there is not after taste with the lime flavor, it is actually refreshing in a weird way to me.I have and will continue to recommend these to friends. I drink a lot of sparkling water everyday, and Bubly is everything I want my water to be. I'm not used to no sweetener, all natural. However I am retraining my palate. On the other side, a lot of my friends love these waters to the point that I believe I will love them too. I want zero calories, and a healthier option for my waters.
