Talking Rain Sparkling Water (four flavors)

The Rant: So I see a case of this stuff at CostCo, and I'm like, "Hey, cheap water", so I decide to try it out. (I had a party coming up and I needed beverages). It doesn't have sugar, so I was anticipating some kind of carbonated MetroMint. If only I could be so lucky.

Where to start? This stuff has an intense carbonation, like some kind of bubbly fruit-flavored acid. Oh, and the fruit flavors. The flavors in the case I got were Tangerine, Berry, Lemon-Lime, and Natural...usually I'd do a review of each one, but this case is a special exception.

All of these flavors tasted like they were formulated by someone who got fired from the Kool-aid corporation. Seriously, flavor scientists at the Blo-pop lab would be insulted by this. Even the "Natural" flavor tastes like it was artificially flavored to taste like water.

So, long story short, it was a big hit with all of my friends, who only managed a couple sips of their bottles before throwing it away. I dunno, if you're one of those Tonic Water people, you might like this, but we had a real hard time choking it down. So, we had to find other ways to get rid of it...


Ingredients: Carbonated water, death.
