I seriously doubt that. But I could be wrong.

Pelligrino or Perrier are tops. I drink La Croix a lot because it’s cheap. If it is ice cold I don’t care about which flavor.

Sparkling ICE black raspberry.

Trader Joe's sparkling water. Tangerine is probably the best.

I like plain Perrier. If I want some flavor, I add a bit of lemon or lime juice. Usually just as is. I like plain LaCroix as well although it carries quite a bit more carbonation and is a bit more bitter. I find the pre flavored ones taste artificial and I find I'm tired of them before I finish a glass full.

Cheap-O Kroger lemon lime for me. I didn't know it was so popular!

My wife and daughter drink a couple of cases of La Croix every week.

I can't stand the stuff - I call it dehydrated water - you drink it and it makes you thirsty and your mouth dry!

I do drink Bai Puna Coconut Pineapple water - it's not carbonated.

Believe it or not, the Walmart brand is really good. I like the strawberries and cream, peach and apple. The apple is the best. At .50 a botle it is hard to beat the price as well.

POLAR POLAR POLAR

Might only be available on the east coast but it blows LaCroix out of the water. Their flavors are amazing. Lime, Raspberry lime, pomegranate, black cherry and lots of delicious seasonal flavors like cucumber melon and ginger lime.

Pellegrino (but the low calorie water, not the 130 calorie soda-ish stuff), La Croix, and Poland Spring.

Poland spring is perfect if you just want a hint of the flavor in sparkling water.

I've done the math and it is definitely NOT cheaper than store bought water.

Pellagrino for plain. L’orange flavor Perrier for flavored.

The orange-mango and pink grapefruit are good too.

If La Croix is your thing check costco out. We have cases of 24 for $7 here. Beats the Fred Meyer Kroger prices. Safeway has good cheap fizzy water too but I like the La Croix if I have my choice. We routinely fall upon cases of it at my place.

Crystal Geyser (they produce the private label for Trader Joe’s, who sells it cheaper than anyone else) lemon or Pelligrino unflavored.

If you’re in the Southwest, you should try Tipo Chico mineral water from Mexico. They offer unflavored, lemon, and my favorite, lime flavored.

Pelligrino used to be my go to sparkling water until I tried Tipo Chico. The local supermarkets (both high-end and value stores), can’t keep it on the shelves. Truly worth a try if you can find it locally, or find on Amazon.

Stay safe, Steve

I will drink the cheaper carbonated waters to save money, but there is no question that Pelligrino and Perrier are different and better. No flavorings needed.

If you get this setup like I have for the SodaStream and get you tank filled at a Dick's instead using of the rip-off proprietary tank exchange system they have, it is most definitely cheaper. Pennies per 1 Liter bottle. It's an adapter valve and a food-grade paintball tank.
