Welcome to the world of sparkling water.

I recently became a fan of sparkling water: an experience that is both refreshing and sweet. To me, sparkling water always seemed like a foreign concept, meant for only the elite — boy, was I wrong. Keep reading to see which brand fits your personality, and maybe try one out yourself!

Bubly

The friend that tries so hard to like all the cool things. The most flavorful and least carbonated of the three. Basic flavors and simplistic design while maintaining the status of enjoying a sparkling water beverage.

La Croix

The fanciest of them all. La Croix is the queen of all sparkling waters with a tangy taste and variety of flavors. In my opinion, the La Croix crowd is like no other. I immediately feel a part of something when I drink one and honestly have friends that decorate their house with their empty cans. I strive to be at that level of La Croix obsession.

Waterloo

Purified carbonated water and only natural flavors make this caffeine-free and all-natural. The friend that is the most carefree and natural. The one that is comfortable after a long day.

Let us know which one is your favorite!

Be well, Auburn.
