Almost all consumer grade products have PFAs or something close to it. There are a lot of seltzers you can drink still if you are worried about PFAS. San Pelligrino, La Croix, Perrier, Spindrift, etc (minimal to no PFAs).
They way I see it though - don’t let the alarmism of something like PFAs render you paralyzed otherwise you may die from a stress related heart attack before the PFAs get you.
I appreciate that perspective. They aren’t bad habits, they are different habits… and they work better in certain scenarios too. Convert those mannerisms to superpowers I say.
Yep, that’s where I get mine from. The big cardboard box of them. Love them in glass too.
That’s fair - I’m sure it tastes amazing when mixed just right. My lazy ass wants to flavor injected automatically though. Separate flavor injector and tube and then mixing step, something like that.
Any chance you are Italian? I have a theory that this flavor hits a specific demographic.
I’ve tried a lot and I still think San Pellegrino is a winner. The bit of mineralization and how bubbly it is … is perfect IMO. I used to drink the full 1L by myself in one go.
Raspberry Lime is definitely one of the top flavors. Good choice! I always recommend Black Cherry, Mixer Berry, and Ginger Lime Mule to folks. And if you like citrus Mandarin is hard to beat. Let us know what else you try out!
I used to live in North Shore area too but I was close enough to a Wegman’s and a CostCo that I only went to the Market Basket occassionally.
Per the sodastream, are the flavors any good compared to Polar, Liquid Death, Waterloo, La Croix? That’s what has given me pause on the idea.
Well I’m impressed! I’ve been to a lot of Market Baskets in my life and I don’t think I would have remembered that’s where the photo was from.
Oh definitely, I still love watching it, especially American Dad. But you can also tell when the jokes are glaringly not the original writers / Seth MacFarlane style. Great background show right next to Futurama.
I haven’t tried the Coconut yet. Might have to pick that up this weekend.
I don’t trust any of the writers of the newer Family Guy / American Dad episodes… too many youngin’s with their opinions projecting into the script and not as much clever wit. They are probably writing those jokes while drinking La Croix anyway.
It’s absolutely the right kind of niche that the market needs. Something fully “badass” looking that fits in with the drinking crowds and is not actually alcohol. That’s partially the purpose/reason of the community too - can’t go wrong being “addicted” to something that’s not detrimental to your health (don’t ask me about what carbonation does to your teeth though 😆).
I prefer the Orange Vanilla flavor over the LimonCello. I think I like that one better because it has a Creamsicle flavor that I liked from ice cream truck ice cream days. But yeah you can only drink so much of these “creamy” flavors before it becomes too much.
I always thought Liquid Death was JUST glorified water marketing. But I recently found out they had flavors and I can’t believe I haven’t tried one yet.
I’ll put these at the top of my list.
Yeah I definitely think it could work if it’s done the right way There are some much needed functionalities that Lemmy has yet to offer that will make it easier to stand up instances like this (easier customization, better cross-posting, better admin/mod tools, and clearer documentation). But the idea is great and it could work with some patience and hard work across various different players in the lemmy game.
Great idea! Will be checking it out soon. A few communities I am moderating on lemmy.world are:
Would be interested to see how crossover might work between instances.
Ah! But then you need a dedicated hat. 😆 Definitely an additional +1 to any kit.
Also, what’s this second flashlight with a silicone diffusor? Got a model/name for it?
How does one flavor the seltzer? How do you make homemade La Croix and Polar? Those are the ultimate questions.
Yeah I don’t know if I could handle the crash and other side-effects. I already have so many other health things I am trying to manage and understand I feel like this would be another wrench thrown into the proverbial machine.
I did get a chance to meet with the therapist and she immediately was like “you have ADHD”. All it took was mentioning my unending fidgeting and constant need to rush things and she already knew where it was going. I wonder if a therapist has the ability to administer any tests even if they aren’t for the purpose of medication - more as a clinical confirmation of diagnosis I guess?
Thanks for your ADHD story btw!
Dang. Well if you like it you like it. I’m Italian and I’m not a fan so there you go. 🤷🏻♂️
