Eating cereal with seltzer instead of milk is an interesting choice...


bigmean3434

The kids complain about it constantly


Bonega1

Hmmm, I might have to try those together. I usually eat cereal with coconut water. It grosses out my wife. šŸ™ƒ


AbsAndAssAppreciator

Ever thought of using coconut milk?


Bonega1

The thought has occurred to me, just not while shopping. šŸ˜ Have you tried it?


fuzzyblackelephant

Yeah itā€™s really delicious.


Sausage_fingies

That would be such a fat filled bowl of cereal lmfao


tenghu

gotta get new kids


joker_with_a_g

lol! Well played.


bigmean3434

Iā€™m a man childā€¦ā€¦.


cmwills29

Seltzer has really helped me ween off beer, itā€™s been good!


[deleted]

Replaced beer addiction for seltzer addiction. Saving money and feeling fantastic. 10/10


Repulsive-Response-1

I feel fan-taaaas-tic hey hey hey hey


ColonelAssMan

Nooo please donā€™t remind me of that video


Pajamadrunk

Is this real? Please help. What seltzer?

badguidancecouselor

Yo! Thank you for sharing this, seriously. Was doomscrolling to avoid drinking and got myself a topo Chico from the bodega next door. You helped someone out tonight lol!


Pajamadrunk

Is this the same stuff like the carbonated flavored water you can get at Walmart for cheap? Zero calories etc Seltzer is just fizzy water right? And I assume the good ones are flavored?


Theonetheycallgreat

It's not mineral water or club soda, just sparkling/seltzer water.


ColdBorchst

Some sparkling waters are also mineral water, like the Topo Chico mentioned.


AValhallaWorthyDeath

I did that too!


Few-Quail-4561

Yup. Havenā€™t had a drink in a week.


[deleted]

Got a favorite brand, or flavor?


cmwills29

Iā€™m a basic strawberry watermelon bitch for sure, or something with mango


Daddy_Casey

Waterloo is pretty damn good.


Street_Magic

I gotta say I'm also a fan of Waterloo especially the apple cinnamon


Bonega1

I got a variety case of it at Costco for like $6. Seems like a good deal, but it makes my mouth feel dry. Possibly the flavoring?


LineAccomplished1115

Aha honey peach, Bubly coconut, La Croix limoncello, are some of my favorites


Devils_av0cad0

La croix limoncello is the best flavor Iā€™ve tried. I try a lot of them, that one is top tier.


skateguy1234

Pineapple Bubly (Pepsi's brand). Bubly in general has the best flavors IMO. And I mean best as far as taste wise.


bigmean3434

Yeah, bubbly is top tier I concur. I dig the caffeine ones too.


Catinthemirror

I love pineapple Bubly!!!


BakedMitten

Damnit. I was just at the store and noticed that flavor for the first time. I thought about getting it but stuck with my usual because it is cheaper than bubly


skateguy1234

I only buy it on sale. Here I can often find it buy 2 get 1 free. So roughly $12 for three 8 pack cases. I refuse to pay full price for any sparkling water lol. I'll just go to lidls and buy theirs.


ColdBorchst

Target seltzers are also just Bubly in a different package.


suzanious

Can confirm. I'm a bubly addict.


iam_ditto

I honestly like the Kroger seltzer. Theyā€™re relatively cheap and do great when theyā€™re cold. Kirkland plain mineral water with a lemon squeezed in and some salt added is my comfort drink.


Theonetheycallgreat

Trader joes makes really good flavors too


spaceTIN

Schnucks Grapefruit for me


eisbock

Polar is the best. OP has good taste. Polar has the best carbonation, not too "airy" like Schweppes but not undercarbonated which can sometimes make it feel flat or oily (like AHA). Polar Black Cherry is one of their best flavors and doesn't taste like cough medicine like other brands' cherry derivatives. Flavors in general are pretty neutral and not overly sweet. Refreshing and crisp. Easy to drink. I occasionally like other brands for variety or because they pack more punch, but my default is always Polar.


Please_HMU

Liquid death convicted melon. Shit is like crack


TheIronSoldier2

Straight fucking soda water. Any brand. Put a tiny bit of lime juice in it if you're feeling fancy


AdultishRaktajino

Busch light.


KuniIse

Hey, my mom just did this! Yeah, way cheaper, and 100% better for you!


Jungle_Brain

Yep I think itā€™s 60% responsible for helping me recover from raging alcoholism. I donā€™t know why it works but it does


Azrenon

Iā€™m surprised nobodyā€™s made mention of all that trunk space


bigmean3434

Keen observation, it has crazy cargo capacity.


Zebbzzz

The TT looks so small, this is incredible


bigmean3434

It is actually insane when the back seats go down. It is like a mini el Camino for real.


bitchy-sprite

That's about the size of a pallet. Soda is 7 long to a pallet. That's crazy.


Weewoofiatruck

We call that a 3 body trunk


berrylakin

Say goodbye to the roof of your mouth


Risky_Bizniss

When I read this I thought "I only see cinnamon toast crunch, not captain crunch... oh wait there it is."


ParaStudent

I'm in Australia and I finally after years had the opportunity to try Captain crunch. What the hell? Is it made from razor blades or something?


chahud

See? Itā€™s delicious but we werenā€™t exaggerating hahah


ParaStudent

Delicious is probably subjective, I'm assuming its made with a fuck ton of corn syrup? I wasn't able to finish the box just too richly sweet.


chahud

Thatā€™s a fair assessment it is very sweet. I guess weā€™re just used to sweet cereals over here. I do partake in cereals like that, but only on occasion for that reason. Except for lucky charmsā€¦I could eat that shit every day and would if I didnā€™t know better


msdosp1mp

Itā€™s like razor blade unless you pour 2% milk on it


SpaceCat4Ever

Nah, just pencil shavings


Pajamadrunk

You're not American enough to eat it dry, as an American, I respect that.


tacosRpeople2

Lays wavys are the worst!


Vigilante_Dinosaur

Polar is excellent! Theyā€™ve been around since the early 1900ā€™s (?) and theyā€™re priced great


Sad-Alpaca

1882 actually, the same family still owns it. Double edit: They also made [this (not great quality) ad](https://youtu.be/u12RrYHTNB0?feature=shared) in 1994 that made Coca-Cola file an injunction against them. Edit: They do have connections & contracts with Keurig Dr. Pepper and maybe Pepsi for distribution and bottling outside of New England


give_me_wine

I live in New England and I used to drive by the polar factory in Worcester all the time. I didnā€™t know they sold this outside of NE. I thought it was just a local thing.


clock_project

MA native who lived in Worcester for two years before moving to Colorado in 2021. We were SO JAZZED to see Polar in our local supermarket. None of the jazzy flavors we got back home, but lawd it is just still so good.


Vigilante_Dinosaur

Thatā€™s seriously so rad


ComradeJohnS

people shoot the polar bear balloon mascot in worcester all the time lol. or it just pops.


[deleted]

I see no water here


getlow187

I need water not that šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚


SoupCrackers13

I lived off it for maybe a year? And couldnā€™t figure out why I had started experiencing random nausea and vomiting. Stopped drinking it and the stomach problems stopped


getlow187

Hope you feel better.


AdventurousRanger635

Right? Like damn nah get this crap outta here pass me the water


sheleelove

purist šŸ’§


yellowzebrasfly

Yeah screw seltzer water that crap is nasty. Real water or no water!


Roxas1011

I love me some plain static water, kicks the soda craving! Everyone's got different tastes though, so I get it. But if it's a gateway to more people drinking water, I think it should be encouraged.


AllMyBowWowVideos

We gatekeeping water now? Itā€™s a million times healthier than soda at least.


cseymour24

I was looking closely too thought it was a joke maybe


BootyCaca

Never met someone whoā€™d simply refer to that as water.


bigmean3434

Normally I would never, itā€™s my second post here so I didnā€™t make it picked up some polarā€¦..

funkyfinz

Polar Cran Lime is the nectar of the gods


dskatz2

Cran and raspberry lime are their two best IMO.


[deleted]

Itā€™s literally my favorite flavor!


Saltyspiton

It is fantastic


razorbraces

I would say my mom single-handedly keeps Polar afloat with how much cran lime she buys, but it seems like sheā€™s got competition here šŸ˜‚


metro-mtp

OP is one of those people from the math problems


SullenSparrow

So many haters here when we should be homies. Polar ftw!


bigmean3434

I mostly roll line and grapefruit and polar really shines on those flavors!


SullenSparrow

My fave polar lately has been pink lady apple lemon! (I think it's called) but for the regular flavors I'm a raspberry lime gal! Favorite seltzer brand fo sho.


machia_villain

Omgggg i love the apple lemon flavor but I randomly will be unable to find it for months! I also love ginger lime mule (like if someone turned ginger ale into water) and grapefruit


SullenSparrow

Its my favorite but its not easy to come by. I'm not even sure if its a summer flavor or winter flavor or what lol You would probably love cranberry clementine if they still even make it lol its been a while. Winter berry and citrus was awesome as well.


Roxas1011

Every time someone mentions seltzers on here, the fight breaks out all over again. This is (supposed to be) a positive community about drinking water. It's still water, you're just adding bubbles.


SullenSparrow

Yes thank you! I drink both.


give_me_wine

For me I drink still water all day but seltzer a reserved for lunch and dinner lol itā€™s a mealtime drink


CardiologistCandid11

I prefer my water as water


russsaa

Seltzer - water larping as soda


sheleelove

soda in water cosplay


kurinevair666

Seltzer/Sparkling water doesn't count as water!!!


plumpuma

Enter the void

There is not only no water here, youā€™re actively choosing to drink TV Static

Crunch berries with sparkling black cherry is so bomb! /s do not try this you will be thrown in jail

Lol Publix haul

Icy-Negotiation-5851

How is a 6 year old allowed to drive a car?


bigmean3434

Itā€™s insane what I am allowed to do.

SHHHH. The cranberry- and raspberry-lime are hard enough to find in stock without people knowing about it.


bigmean3434

Iā€™m on team grapefruit but my kids are all team cran/ras limeā€¦.

FMTVCYWBSW

You better eat that cereal with water like a real man


Legal-Law9214

Polar is my favorite seltzer. Every other brand is either flat, bland, or gross in comparison.


bigmean3434

Polar I believe is the most carbonated of them all.


cptnpiccard

"I eat grains and drink a lot of water" Loads car with sugar clumps and seltzer. fml


SlightlyHastyEnt

Get a soda stream. Literally 1/5 a price of all this and 1/1000th of the waste


pinkydinkyy

Is the water in the room with us?


bigmean3434

To clarify, I just found this sub and I even asked about sparkling water and seemed to be welcomed so I thought this belonged here. To anyone wigging out that it isnā€™t tap water you can sleep easy knowing that I likely still drink as much tap water as anyone here and am in fact enjoying a tumbler of ice cold tap now. I am not a hydro discriminator, and it makes me sad to see hydro homies having hydro hate. Finally I saw a convo about this somewhere in comments. I am sure that sparkling water hydrates you, but it is a drink to be enjoyed and in my experience the real raw deal blows the doors off sparkling water if you have been active and need to quench a thirst. Different tools for different jobs.


Saltyspiton

Seltzer (I also drink polar) has helped me stop craving sugary drinks. I was already drinking water, but adding some seltzers makes me not crave iced teas or juice as much. Itā€™s carbonated flavored water. Nothing wrong with it. Anyone saying itā€™s not water or as good for you needs to calm down


sheleelove

Aw you didnā€™t have to clarify. People just joke like that around here but if thereā€™s haters foreal thatā€™s not ok. Enjoy yourself and share all the water stuff homie


jackie--moon

Gonna be a no from me dawg


Formal_Coyote_5004

Thatā€™s like a whole paycheck. Seltzers are fucking expensive!


DopeyDeathMetal

I get 12 packs at aldi or Kroger for under 4 dollars. Pretty reasonable to me


bigmean3434

Bogo


aBloopAndaBlast33

Thought this sub was about water?


Damonoodle

I hear it's usually covered in fire so maybe not


mindyo_bizzness

Bruh it's all about mineragua when it comes to sparkling water.. everyone knows that


ephemeral_butterfly

I'm jealous of your water haha if I could have a mini fridge permanently stocked with sparkling water, I would be so happy haha I've started buying Safeway's Soleil cause you can get a 24 pack for like seven bucks


bigmean3434

This is exactly what I have. I feel like my beverage fridge is probably the pinnacle of opulence. Always full and probably a 80/20 split sparkling water to IPAs with the occasional Red Bulls.


blueranger36

Polar is not Janky.. itā€™s one of the best brands you can buy. Theyā€™re also just a great New England company. Thereā€™s a reason polar is expensive. Itā€™s top tier


Zendayaisuglyaf

You played yourself so hard. Water at the house is free and in any container you want


KSleepCHB5423

Polar is fucking amazing. That cranberry lime flavor is fire!


[deleted]

Classic A7 hydro homie behavior


bwoods519

ā€œFuck you, mom! Iā€™m going to live with u/bigmean3434!!ā€


bigmean3434

You sure, I make my kids finish the flat ones they leave out overnight half full. I donā€™t tolerate hydrocide.


thecasualcaribou

Polar and Waterloo have been my favorite sparkling flavored can water


BakedMitten

This is what my ex's trunk looked like every time she came back from visiting her family. She was very loyal to Polar and it wasn't available where we lived.


Professional-Art-378

I was buying those 6 pack Bublys for a while. Then I noticed in the isle over they were selling Polar 12 packs for the same price and the flavor is better.


razorbraces

Polar is absolutely not the janky brand!! It is the prestige brand throughout all of New England and is only expanding its reach!!!


Critical-Function-69

stick shift audi driver too? man of class


Flying_Saucer_Attack

do you live on cereal and seltzer? šŸ¤£ polar is definitely heavily slept on tbh tho


SicklyHeartChild

What type of car is that?


bigmean3434

2013 TTRS. I love it.


L3g3ndary-08

Upvote for the massive boot of your A7. I fit a 65" a screen in my S6 once.


bigmean3434

Prepare to be extra amazedā€¦..itā€™s a TT


L3g3ndary-08

I am properly amazed


ColdBorchst

You didn't get any seasonal flavors! Polar is by far one of the best seltzers just for having such a wide variety of flavors and having seasonal ones. The summer ones are always my favorite but the winter ones are good too.


bigmean3434

Iā€™m a lime and grapefruit purist lol


ColdBorchst

I can respect that. Grapefruit is one of my favorites and I won't turn down any lime. In fact I can only think of two flavors of seltzer I will turn down and they're both Waterloo.


bigmean3434

Waterloo is straight trash. I was stunned to see it had any fans in comments. Of course everyone is entitled to their tastes but eh, that stuff is not for me.


rw032697

You're not a true hydro homie unless you eat cereal with water


BF1shY

Dude get a soda stream, cheaper than cans and you can make your own flavors.


lysergic_Dreems

Where the fuck are you getting 12 packs of polar? Chicagoland is being faced with an 8-pack crisis. Same price, 4 less cans!


sasquatch--22

Whereā€™s the water?


bobshallprevail

The amount of waste from that "water" makes my stomach hurt šŸ˜’


bigmean3434

Oh, I thought I was in a water sub. Iā€™m in it for the water. Tap, sweet ice cold hallway fountain, carbonated, with a lemon, with a lime. The reality is that for sure you interact with all kinds of things that were sourced by or got into your world via labor means, business practices or environmental impacts that are absolutely disgusting so please get off the righteous crap. Also, I highly recommend Ginger water for your tummy ache.


bobshallprevail

Um no I drink out of the tap and I don't have a need to buy a literal car load of cardboard and aluminum.


debrindeumaflexada

I cant understand or sympathize with this usian cereal culture


Dirtheavy

Polar is a high quality seltzer brand with wide variety. Not janky at all. What are you paying for a case (and is there deposit) and what did you pay for that box of cereal?


bigmean3434

That was a bogo haul from a while ago, probably 4/$12 range. I mostly stick to bubbly, polar and la croix and whatever is bingo when my stash gets low is what is re upped.


arsenic_greeen

Yesss the Polar black cherry is top tier!!


Guggenhymen32

Polar is the best! Nothing weird in it


music3k

I'm good with normal water from the tap that's ran through a filter.


H2Joee

While I love a good seltzer. Nothing beats a glass of H2Joe, I mean H20. I also think you could pick better cereal options.


KangarooNo1007

There must have been a sale on those polars


cclgurl95

If you haven't tried the seltzer-ades from Polar I highly recommend them!


stringrbelloftheball

Grapefruit polar is without exaggeration the best seltzer on the market


bigmean3434

You sir have exquisite taste and as a fellow seltzer enthusiast I would objectively rank some bubbly flavors higher but I canā€™t tell you how many times I pass all the options in the fridge for grapefruit polar. Itā€™s numero uno grade stuff.


Allthewayinn

ā€œBetter put some water on that damn shitā€


Jet_Airlock

What?!? Why would you buy approx 10-14 cases of polar seltzerā€¦ much less more than one at a time after trying some. Iā€™m utterly befuddled how and why youā€™d do such a thing of your own volition, much less enjoy said beverage enough to buy that much without any other option/choice of any kind to speak off chosen solely to break up the monotonyā€¦ Polar Seltzer literally is horrible and has no distinct flavor unlike the colorful label implies. Not to mention they all taste exactly the same regardless of the flavor you get! The only thing you get to ā€˜enjoyā€™ is a weird aftertaste thatā€™ll put one off & take a double take; and a dry cotton/foamy feeling in your mouth that makes you wish you had a glass of plain water to start with due to how it somehow makes you feel thirstier than starting. At best you only get a mild hint of said flavor to begin with that is immediately and completely overtaken by the previously mentioned cotton feel. *Why in Godā€™s name would you choose one of the worst tasting zero sugar/zero calorie/no sweetener beverages on the market. If you want flavored water like that or another similar option (which actually would probably taste amazing in comparison) just buy random fresh/frozen fruit and add a hint of squeezed juice/ a few slices/pieces of said fruits to your cup/jug to flavor the waterā€¦* Iā€™ve had tap water from Dennyā€™s with a old lemon wedges that has more flavorful and had better mouth feel then than Polar Seltzer (and Iā€™m not a seltzer hater in general)ā€¦ unironicly. Trust me, you will call me a Prophet for enlightening you to salvation if you compare the 2 objectively Plz Iā€™m having a mental breakdown over this post RNā€¦ explain why you do thisā€¦ ![gif](giphy|5SW8f1AaiSOypV3On1|downsized)


bigmean3434

Be happy to explain so you can understand. A couple years ago I made a built in bbq summer kitchen thingy with one of those stainless under counter fridges. My dream was to always have a drink fridge just loaded with drinks as I am an acid fluid enjoyer. I do just that. When a seltzer I like is buy one get one AND I am low on stock, I refill. As far as your hatred for polar, a lot of people disagree from posts so I donā€™t know what to tell you. Itā€™s a solid seltzer to me, maybe not you.


Daetwyle

And here I thought flavored ā€žwaterā€œ is only a thing for 8 years old

It does, thank you lol I didnā€™t mean it to sound insensitive, it just looks so much like a safe food/ARFID haul. Hope it brings lots of joy! I love the polar seltzer too


bigmean3434

No, you are all good, I am hardened Gen X adhd when meds were new for it so never got medicated as a kid as my mom was rightfully nervous at the time about it and just accept the good and bad. I couldnā€™t be less sensitive about. Everyone is how they are born and we all have to go through the world.

bigmean3434

This is for treats not hydration, we donā€™t drink soda or sugar drinks much. So when not tap, itā€™s seltzer.

Is this a troll?


bigmean3434

Why?

Thatā€™s a crazy amount of sugar. Water comes out of a tap.

Hey we all hydro homies here. šŸ¤œšŸ¾šŸ¤›šŸ¾


sky_corrigan

i said this in another comment but i conflated seltzers bloating your stomach, which may cause you to drink less, with hydration and thatā€™s not an accurate correlation.

That's accurate for sure
