I do not get the liquid death hype, it's just expensive water

 

Their sparkling waters are great.

 

i got Liquid Death pilled a few weeks ago and i love it

 

I'm not a sparkling water guy so maybe that's what I'm missing, cause the canned water is fine but not worth the $2-3 price tag

 

The price is the real problem for me. It seems like it's trying to compete with non alcoholic beer/cocktails but it falls more into the water category in my mind (because that's what it actually is)

 

it isn’t that complicated. it is perfect for live venues/events where you get charged like 500% increase for aquafina or just buy a larger can that just costs that much anyways. if you’re buying it at whole foods or whatever you’re a mark.

 

Local bar does liquid death cocktail mixers that are pretty good

 

Haven't finished the ep yet so they might cover this, but it's absolutely wild to me that the Liquid Death founders got the idea for their brand from seeing the branded Monster water cans bands would drink from at Warped Tour.

 

Monster is also selling Monster Water now with the same idea

 

I’m in favor of canned water because less plastic, but yeah I don’t get why people LOVE it. Are the sparkling cans at least flavored?

 

well, the black ones are not. it’s akin to topo chico. they do have flavored ones as well though.

 

They have flavored and non-flavored. I’m partial to the Mango one myself.

 

I’m a (flavored) seltzer fiend so I’ll give them a shot, but still hard to get past such an inflated price point because the can looks cool

 

I give my 7 year old a can of Liquid Death when friends are over and we're all drinking beers. He loves it.

 

just give him a beer

 

I don't like that their flavored sparkling water has sweetener and calories.

The regular one is decent although I'd always go with a Topo Chico over it.

The only sparkling water that has a little added to it that I like is the Spindrifts because it's a little fruit juice.

 

Did not know the Bombpops/liquid death connection

 

The mango and lime go hard.

 

Doesn’t Spindrift also have sweeteners and calories? I’m pretty sure both use fruit. LD has agave, so I think that’s the big difference.

 

I think the difference is "natural flavors" / extract plus agave in Liquid Death vs. just fruit juice in Spindrift. It doesn't work for me with the Liquid Death.

 

Haven't tried Liquid Death aside from straight up water at shows where it was the only option, but I do love Spindrift. Funny enough, the only reason I tried Spindrift was because Mitch always raved about it.

 

That’s fair
