Liquid Death, Soda-Flavored Sparkling Water Variety Pack, 12-Pack (12oz Cans), Low Calorie & No Artificial Sweeteners, 4 Flavors: Severed Lime, Doctor Death, Killer Cola, and Rootbeer Wrath

I have been a fan of Liquid Death as a brand since I saw their first promo video in like 2017. Then around 2019/2020, I found a can at a store for the first time and even though it’s just water, it tasted better than any bottled water I’ve ever had. Maybe it was because it stayed colder longer due to being in a metal can, maybe it was just in my head or maybe it really is better. Which reason is true I don’t care and decided it was going to be my go to beverage. Then the flavors came out. Grapefruit, Lime, Watermelon, Orange and Cherry. All sooo good!!!! Then in the Spring of 2025, it all went to hell. As if the switching to the majority of the cases I was buying from 19oz cans to 12oz wasn’t bad enough, they decided to add Stevia to their drinks instead of regular sugar. The taste difference INSTANTLY hit me. I hated it. Apparently I wasn’t the only one because there was a storm brewing online with people hating all over them. I wish they would have made it into a lite or a diet version. Idk. Think of something but don’t ruin a great thing. Thankfully there is a way to tell if you find the cans out in the wild. Next to the bar code, if you see “BALL” you know it’s one of the good ones and definitely should buy it. Take a look at the pictures of the Gravefruit cans I bought. These are still available on Amazon as of January 2026 so thankfully not all hope is lost.

These were actually pretty tasty . They had fizz ! The Dr was a little weak in flavor . Boxes need to be sturdier ! Not mixed with lightweight items as well !

Tastes bitter like club soda & grapefruit juice

I genuinely love these. I love the packaging, I love the clever advertising and I love the flavors. One sip and you'll be listening to type O negative's third album and painting your house black. Maybe not. But you will be saving calories and avoiding a ton of artificial chemicals. This is the 12 pack of the soda flavored editions. From the top: The flavor is good. It sweetened with agave nectar and stevia. It doesn't have a bad aftertaste (at least to me) like some of these "healthy sodas" do. The carbonation is probably a little less than a traditional soda, which I like. The bubble quality is good, not too intense. As for size, these are 12oz cans. Each of these 12 packs comes with a unique metal-core artwork on the side. I like them so much I actually have kept several of them. The water itself is good quality with no funky tastes or additives. No artificial sweeteners. These contain no caffeine, which means they are better for hydration. A picture of the mini poster is included. Peep that!

This is what New York Seltzer could’ve been in the 80’s if someone added more than a hint of flavor. I still gave it four stars, because… well, it’s bubbly water- I’m not sure what I expected. It’s better than Lacroix… so that’s something. It still has the same level of taste as licking hot asphalt in summer… and yes- I’ve licked hot asphalt. Sadly, it’s one of the lesser dumb things I did as a teenager, but thankfully- my eyebrows and hair grew back from the other incidents… multiple times. So, to wrap this up- it’s better than Lacroix and licking hot asphalt… narrowly.
