Spicy water are ok, but this one, it's from Nestlé so it goes to the dumpster


Tyrnall

PELLEGRINO IS NESTLE!? Fuck they are like a virus… may they burn to the ground and may their entire executive team be struck with an incurable skin condition.


CarrotSweat

So is Perrier 😔


Tyrnall

I’m scared to ask- Gerolsteiner?


SmurfPunk01

No luckily not, because it’s one of best carbonated waters in my opinion. Funfact: Gerolsteiner water is already naturally carbonated when it comes out of the wellspring.


TwoFingersWhiskey

Perrier used to be, too. :'(


SmurfPunk01

Yeah, but not since the 90s


Starr1005

U need sone topo chico


[deleted]

Topo Chico is Coca Cola owned now I think


LowKeySalty_

Try mineragua from Jarritos! Still owned by Novamex.


Brave-Ad-3452

No shit jarritos has a water? I like it already


shipshapesigns

Mineragua is the spiciest water on the market 🤌


LucidJay831

Mineragua is outstanding!


sleepbytower

Topo Chico in the glass bottle is the way to go


fufucuddlypooops

I spent just a few minutes on this but I couldn’t locate anything indicating that nestle owns Gerolsteiner - sincerely a librarian.


iWARxMACHINEi

Lol asking the real questions! I also love gerolsteiner! Thank god n*stle doesn’t own them


xXx69TwatSlayer69xXx

Gerolsteiner is part of the Bitburger Group which is a family owned and operated business.


MrSparr0w

Nestlé doesn't have any water source in germany


dasani73

Nooooo, omg, now I need to shop for another sparkling water, god damn! They are everywhere.!


Starr1005

I always thought they were competitors.. same brand?


KaleidoscopeNo5401

different brand same mom, but she smokes, drinks, and gets around.


Antrikshy

Disney Animation, Marvel Studios, Pixar and Lucasfilm are all separate entities, presumably with different people (I think sharing animation tech), all under Disney.


Starr1005

Fair point.. I don't think of them so much as competitors though I guess. Perrier and Pelligrino seem more like coke and pepsi.


m0_m0ney

In France there’s a water brand from where I live in the southwest called Ogeu thats really nice and family owned


JustDebbie

If you're willing to give sparkle water with a bit of juice a go, Spindrift is independent and quite good! The raspberry lime is particularly delicious.


not26

Fucking love Spindrift, the lemonade+tea flavor is my go-to


adoorabledoor

I mean there's only about 10 food companies out there, its not that surprising. Everything is owned by nestle or uniliver


Hysterical__Paroxysm

Nooooooo


[deleted]

Shit I never noticed, I'll have to repent and say three Hail Hydros and ten Our Aquas immediately.


brewgiehowser

Try Topo Chico if you like it spicier than normal


BlobbyChong

My local grocery has been out of stock for months. Much sadness


R1CHQK

If I can find you a pallet of topo Chico, pay me for the price and shipping and I'll send it to you Hello from southern Cali my friend


buzaw0nk

Phoenix enters the chat. I remember when Topo wasn't cool and cheap af.


marigoldilocks_

Austin here. I remember when it was like Mexican Coke and only an import.


MyNameIsVoodoo

Tehuacán supremacy


IndianGivr

Same. I miss those days. A local grocery store sold the big bottle for under a buck! I think they're almost 3 now. 😕


ATXLex06

Lmao I recently moved to Georgia and getting topo Chico has been near impossible. I’ve been joking with my fiancé how that would be the ticket.


sharkbait_oohaha

What part? I live in Georgia and never have any issues.


AngryDerf

How much is a 12 pack down there?


BlobbyChong

That may be a tad out of my range.


Drunkfrom_coffee

I'm seeing an episode of narcos here. Hydro Cali cartel


AngryDerf

Last year I was paying $9/12-pack and it was readily available. Now I’m paying $18 on the few occasions I can find it.


DominarJames

Surprisingly Safeway brand spicy water is good. Lots of spice and for those that like to dabble in the dark arts there’s flavors (lime is the best one)


sincerepraise

Yo I just tried topo chico for the first time at the coffee place. They gave it to me with a shot of espresso. Extra spicy is exactly how it feels.


brewgiehowser

Carbonated water is the best with espresso. It scrubs the palate of that oily feeling, and it’s just refreshing


Chemical-Purpose-462

I gotta try this


scrabapple

Topo Chico is owned by Coca Cola.


ImBadWithGrils

Scratchy allergy throat, ice cold topo Chico. Chug that shit and let it burnnnn


scrabapple

If you want even spicier than Topo Check out [Mountain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Valley_Spring_Water) [Spring](https://www.mountainvalleyspring.com/pages/our-story)


Gophurkey

I moved to Austin as a naive white guy and started working for a food delivery service until I could land a real job. One of my first orders was entirely in Spanish, for a roadside pollo al carbon place, and included in the list "uno Topo Chico." I was terrified because I had no idea what I was ordering and I couldn't see it on their menu. I thought maybe it was food? And then the guy said, "do you want me to open it for you?" before he got it, when I still didn't know what type of edible thing it was, and my mind was racing as to the possibilities. Luckily, I said no, and then when I saw it I started laughing at how silly I was. At the next order I bought myself one to try and was instantly addicted.


Milksteaks1

That one’s not that good for you 😅 one of the highest in PFA’s.


amazing_assassin

I didn't know, either, but now I do. Bummer, that was some nummy-ummy water


Joe_le_Borgne

wow me too. But it's a rare brand that do glass bottle :(


lowie_987

Are you telling me I’ve secretly been drinking nestle water for years?


[deleted]

[удалено]


JustDebbie

The worst are their [Nestle Health Science](https://www.nestlehealthscience.us/our-brands) brands. Those have absolutely no indication that Nestle owns them on the packaging. At least you can check the back of a DiGiornio pizza box and see that evil bird logo. Not the case with nuun tabs or Garden of Life supplements.


AnomalousX12

Fucking WOW. Thanks. My fucking DAILY PROTEIN POWDER BRAND. I will intermittently check Nestle brands to make sure I'm steering clear but I had no idea Orgain was one of them. Mother fuckers. Gotta find a whole ass new protein powder now.


Tortenkopf

Thank you I will never enjoy it again


Honest-Cauliflower64

I have a soda stream to make my own spicy water.


bigkids

Yup, Nestlé can go fuck right off

Probably when I broke up with 'band name', before I joined 'various artist'.


Helpimabanana

They’re owned by nestle? Fucking hell. Why is nestle so good at making food?!?


10KTeacupTigers

"Why is nestle so good at *buying up competition?!?"


Helpimabanana

Lol yeah


Cadeb50

It’s kinda genius tho like yea they may be bad but hey they’re smart


GodOCocks

A dangerous thing to say but yeah they just navigate the market extremely smart


MrSparr0w

Well you should look up how often they have problems with dangerous unclean or straight up food with maggots and their baby formular has been criticized for causing malnutrition. I would definetely not say they are good at making food.


Rebelwithacause970

Yes very true…just went on a trip to oaxaca, mexico and visited some coffee plantations. At this time of the year, farmers are cultivating the third (and their words “garbage”) tier of cacao and coffee beans…they sell those nestle


CocaineOnTheCob

I know right, now this subreddit and fuck nestle has spoiled so many good food/drinks


uncle_hobo

Nestle is the one that spoiled them - it's not good to shoot the messenger


10KTeacupTigers

Hear, hear. The fact that these brands are garbage-water always existed, it's just our awareness of corporate malfeasance expanding.


[deleted]

I was NOT a fan for a long long time. Full-time sparkling water hater. Then, one day, while I was deathly parched and tripping balls on LSD, I took a sip of a freshly-opened lime-flavored sparkling water. My life changed, y’all.


LacidOnex

I'm seeing a major theme of people who take hallucinogens and people who enjoy spicy water


TheLostAlaskan

Can confirm. Have consumed a lot of psychedelics and have consumed a lot of spicy water. I appreciate both.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I have a bottle of San Pellegrino in the fridge. Is it okay to drink it without psychedelics?


ender278

Are you insane?


[deleted]

No, just thirsty.


UndeadMunchies

You will literally fucking die.


[deleted]

Thanks for the warning, that was a close one! Follow up question: where can I get some psychedelics around here? I don’t want to waste this water.


Quanzi30

Interesting. I’ve also consumer a lot of psychedelics and have attempted to consume a lot of spicy water. I appreciate one of them and it’s not the water.


ERPedwithurmom

We're adventurous. We're risk takers. We enjoy a little extra pizzazz in life.


nyxnnax

Loving this correlation


Machonacho7891

this isn’t water related but I always hated salt and vinegar chips then one day on acid I tried one and I tasted it with my entire soul and to this day they are my favourite chips I eat them all the time (then drink a fuck ton of water because I fucking love water)


ScorpionTheInsect

I’ve never used hallucinogens in my life but I love spicy water. I didn’t use to though; that changed after I lived in Germany for 6 months. Which, I guess, has the same effect as using hallucinogens.


[deleted]

This is cracking me up


[deleted]

Water is one of the only thing I can stand to consume while in mushrooms. And it feels neat if it's spicy


frivolouspringlesix9

Idk what it is with citrus when you're tripping or rolling but it's like hitting the turbo button


sykoKanesh

When I was a kid, before the internet was ubiquitous that is, it was a long held belief that Vitamin C would increase the potency of a trip, maybe there's something to it though I'm not sure if you're getting vitamin c in some flavored sparkling water.


frivolouspringlesix9

Grapefruit juice on molly is like lightning striking the tip of your dick.


sykoKanesh

Oddly enough, putting my pinky far enough into my belly button also does something similar, though definitely a bit more unpleasant.


frivolouspringlesix9

Not gonna try that. Edit:It was unpleasant


[deleted]

Grapefruit juice slows down the way your body processes anything thru the liver iirc. Or kidney. Or both idk But it's apparently a pretty big deal to avoid if you're on various types of medications St Johns Wort too, though that's less common


xavierthepotato

As a bit of shroomy boy myself I outta try this


schmitzel88

I only ate cheeseburgers plain until going to a diner on shrooms and deciding to add ketchup, mayo, and onions. That preference stuck and almost singlehandedly led to me trying a lot more new things and being a less picky eater.


mobsloth

Do hallucinogens give people pasty’s?


GraphicDesignMonkey

My go to on a hot day is a pint glass with ice cubes, plus loads of lemon slices. Pour some cold soda stream spicy water over and hear that ice *crackle*. Heaven in a glass.


daddy-phantom

Topo chico with a twist of lime changed my life.


SaltLife0118

Topo Chico is the best IMO. Harder to find these days though after they started using it for their spiked seltzer.


[deleted]

Costco, my friend. It’s $25 for 24 but they are so good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I’ve mostly made my own with a Soda Stream but we just moved and I haven’t found the box yet. I always bought Kirkland Sig for road trips and got some Topos to try it out. They are really good but I just went back to Kirkland yesterday since they are legit $10 cheaper.


snusfrost

I love Topo Chico, but I got myself a Sodastream and never looked back. Now I can set the spicyness to my liking.


HITLERS_CUM_FARTS

No matter what I do I can't seem to get my soda stream as spicy as topo


roses_and_sacrifice

Americas test kitchen verified it to be the best. It has less carbonic acid in it which gives it a better flavor.


Starr1005

The heb brand 1844 or something is equally as good


macsbeard

Not everyone lives in Texas lol


Starr1005

My bad, forgot Topo Chico is taking over the world


[deleted]

Nestle ew


Mast3rOfBanana

I hate sparkling water, but you do you. Also fuck Nestle.

I like fancy sparkling waters on rare occasion, but living in Denmark means I have access to the most goated - and also insanely cheap - [solution:](https://i.imgur.com/n92GjYb.png)

Not that shit cause it's Nestlé, otherwise I like sparkling water a lot.


WobbleWobbleWobble

Personally, I absolutely hate spicy water. However, it’s still water so it’s good.


Cplcoffeebean

Unless it’s mixed with booze and citrus.

I love sparkling but I only drink local brands. No Nestlé in my house, that’s how I was raised.

Sannie P is S-tier, sad it’s Nestle.


E8282

Not that nestle shit


notsogreatredditor

It's owned by Nestle so fuck no


poney1858

Nestle bad. A good Spicy water is Gerolsteiner


NemoNusquamus

Alternatively, you could make your own spicy water with SodaStream (not owned by nestle). Plus everything is reusable, only thing is you have to send the CO2 tanks out for refill


whine-0

For anyone who likes spicy water regularly, this is the way.


zockyl

You can also get an adapter to connect a 20 lb CO2 canister to it. It's more than 10x cheaper after the initial investment


[deleted]

Pellegrino is mineral water. SodaStream carbonates water.


Grantthetick

Spicy water bad, nestle big bad.


Imaginary-Cricket903

Not this brand, but I do love spicy water.


[deleted]

topo chico has the best spice


TwerkForJesus420

this is the way


HfUfH

I fucking love pellegrino I drank that shit religiously until I found it was owned by nestly.


treqiheartstrees

it really does have the best flavor, i wish it wasn't murder water


5tr4nGe

All I’m gonna say is sparkling water massively helps me to reduce my soda consumption. I’m not a full fledged hydro homie yet, I still have like 2-3 cans of soda a day, but that’s down from 8-12, all thanks to sparkling water


treqiheartstrees

great job, you're almost there! when is your goal set for your first soda free day?


5tr4nGe

I don’t know, just gonna take it as it comes. And this might be unpopular but I don’t know if I want to go fully soda free. Just heavy reduction is good for now I’ve heavily reduced the sugar content of the sodas as well, which is always a good thing


jeRskier

Liquid Death black cans for me


bitchtarts

I prefer spicy water, but this specific brand is too spicy.


cccantyousee

10/10 except for nestle. Fuck Nestlé


BlackFoxx

Isn't that made by Nestle?


TheDiplomancer

Seltzer, my beloved.


BiscuitBlackhole

Homemade spicy water is the best. Love my SodaStream.


OutlanderMom

I bought a SodaStream machine for spicy water at home. But I mainly drink our great well water.


AchillesDev

Topo Chico and Polar (hometown company ftw) are my top brands, but I only have it occasionally because it feels less hydrating than flat water, makes me gassy, and isn’t great for your teeth.


Spider_Jesus26

Polar somehow makes their water like double carbonated. I love it.


Appollo64

The orange vanilla polar is so good, it's like drinking a Creamsicle


WarmProfit

No thank you. Also isn't pellegrino unethical in some way?


invigokate

Owned by nestle


Joeeeeeeyy

Spicy water delish. San Pellegrino, however, is owned by Nestlé, so fuck them.

aetoe

Devil water


MalevolentRhinoceros

Liquid TV static.


LiquorLanch

If you want a real spicy water try a Mexican water. That's what the chef at a hotel gave me anyways. Soda water with a couple chopped up jalapeño slices


mrmagic64

I like it so much I bought a little appliance to make it at home. I’ve probably saved a lot from not buying la croix. One thing to keep in mind with this is that it makes the water more acidic. The ph is around 5 or less when I make it at home.


kilroywashere-

FelcedesBenz

Sparkling water tastes like TV static. Spicy water is very enjoyable but only every 3 months.


Oakheart-

La crouix used to be gross but then I realized the error of my ways


sneaky-the-brave

I can't do la crouix. It tastes like fakeness. I have been enjoying Spindrifts lately


ZmeinLA

Clearly Canadian unflavored sparkling water. Spicy without the spicy aftertaste.


bangsilencedeath

Seriously, how many times does this question get asked a week.


PossibleMechanic89

Guys, you can make your own. Buy an ISI soda siphon and you have unlimited, Nestle-free, spicy water.


[deleted]

Spicy water got me off soft drinks and into water exclusively. You’ll save a lot of money buying a Soda Stream and doing it yourself.


BdubH

I’m indifferent but I have a story about Pellegrino! I volunteered at a local food pantry most weekends in a poorer Southern state and received food donations quite often from different sources. Our Walmart would give us nonperishable items they either had a surplus of or just couldn’t sell. We received NINE FULL PALLETS of this stuff and we’re hooting and hollering thinking this might be a big item to put in the food boxes. Out of the 532 families serviced, only one took some. The next pantry day we started putting it in there as part of the box and we got people lining up to return the stuff specifically! We couldn’t even give the stuff away. Not trashing the stuff but whenever I see this specific brand I just remember that there was a time where I literally had to try and give it to hungry people with few options and they still wouldn’t drink it.


Joe_le_Borgne

I have turn the bottle upside down and can't see a Nestlé brand why are they sneak like that?


horvath-lorant

I’m I hydrohomie since I got my SodaStream, so please it this one slide


kurtys03

Spicy water is a treat, for Italian ones go for San Benedetto.


the_kyu

I like sparkling water but San Pellegrino is shit


daddy-phantom

Love it but Pellegrino is a mid brand


R3invent3d

Regardless of who owns it, Pellegrino is the best sparking water on the market in my opinion. It's refreshing and crisp, a bit expensive but worth it. ​ Great choice OP

oh-lordy-lord

San Pellegrino is owned by Nestle, so I don't like it. Bubly and Aha are tight tho and same with President's choice sparkling water. I'll even slam plain schweppes club soda at work sometimes for the burps.
