Sparkling Ice, Black Raspberry Sparkling Water, Zero Sugar Flavored Water, with Vitamins and Antioxidants, Low Calorie Beverage, 17 fl oz Bottles (Pack of 12)

It appeals to me. However, I've noticed a difference in flavor: it's sweeter, but there's less fizz. I recently began weeding the reviews and, bam! I'm not completely insane! There are knockoffs of the original product. Only 1% juice doesn t taste like the original flavor doesn taste like the original flavor doesn taste like the original flavor% The print on the bottle's outside is different, as you can see. I'm curious if Amaon was aware that this well-known beverage was being substituted for the original without our knowledge. I would not be upset if the drink was sold for a lower price and it was stated that it was a generic version of the original drink. I feel as if I've been duped. Where does Amazon's quality assurance go? You don't seem to have one, do you? Thanks to those of you who noticed that the drink was no longer the same. I just assumed the drinks had flattened out during shipping. I was never aware that the bottle's exterior had changed. Amazon is a tricky beast. You have let me down! I'm hoping you'll be able to rectify the situation!.

This is the drink of my choice. For the past three years, I've been purchasing it. It has a great flavor and is a great soda substitute. The only issue is a lack of quality control, particularly when it comes to carbonation. br>br>A couple of years ago, the drink's formula was changed. They didn't put "new" or "improved" on the bottles to indicate this change. It was only the ingredients that were changed. Both the old and new formulas were sold on the same Amazon page for a long time, under the same Amazon AISN number. br>br>Since then, I've noticed an increase in the number of drinks with low carbonation. I'd get lucky every now and then and get a case with a lot of carbonation, but most of the time the carbonation isn't very good. It wasn't great, but it wasn't awful either. When I received several cases with the same issue, I began checking expiration dates and lot numbers, and discovered that the bad cases all expired around the same time (give or take a week). The beginning of the lot numbers were all the same (2 days), and the end of the lot numbers were all the same. The lack of carbonation in those cases was clearly caused during the preparation of the drinks. br>br>I've also noticed a strange phenomenon where one or two bottles crumple up and appear to lose air at the top of the bottle a few days after being placed in the refrigerator. I had never seen anything like it in my 50 years of drinking carbonated beverages. This time, I photographed a crumpled-up bottle. Please take note of the following:br>br>1. As if it had been vacuum sealed, the bottle had caved in.
2. The top seemed to be devoid of air.
3. No one had ever opened the lid before.
4. The beverage was still fresh. Whenever this happened, the other bottles in the same case were usually fine; however, there were a few times when 2- There would be a total of three bottles that would be harmed. br>br>After some research, I discovered that this phenomenon is linked to carbonation as well. Between the auto-pilot and the automatic With the crumpling bottle and wide variations in carbonation between cases, it's clear there's an issue with the drinks' manufacturing and quality control. br>br>In the past, I simply shrugged and tossed the bad bottles; now, I'm not so sure. However, as the number of defective bottles and cases grows, I'm starting to report these issues to Amazon in the hopes of receiving a replacement or refund. Quality control is clearly lacking, allowing defective bottles to be sold to the general public, and I'm tired of paying for them. If things don't improve, I'll have to give up and switch to a different brand.

I experimented with new flavors (watermelon strawberry, perhaps?). ) at a friend's house, which was a pleasant experience. Not quite as tasty. However, because I don't want to use artificial sweeteners, I won't be purchasing the Sparkling Ice in the future. When I ordered it, I had no idea it contained a sugar substitute. Naturally Flavored and ZERO SUGAR are printed on the front of the bottles. Sucralose, on the other hand, can be found in small print among the ingredients!.

I've tried a variety of flavors at this point. I prefer the Black Raspberry flavor, but there are a few others that are just OK and some that have a bad carbon aftertaste; everyone has different tastes, so I won't assume you'll enjoy the same ones I do. br>br>It has a stronger flavor than most of the flavored waters I've tried. This appeals to me because most flavored waters are so weak in flavor that you can barely detect it. However, I would prefer the berry flavors to be present while the CO2 is absent. br>br>The other side of the CO2 levels in this is that it causes me to start belching both during and after a bottle is finished. It appears that there is more CO2 in it than in the sodas I've consumed. br>br>Because each bottle contains a substantial amount of liquid, one bottle will typically last longer than a soda can, but not as long as a Gatorade bottle. br>br>Because the bottles are slim and tall, and have nonflat bases, they are easily knocked over and spilled. To hold the fluid without tipping over, it needs to have a flatter bottom and be shorter. It's about the size of a 20-ounce bottle of Gatorade. br>br>I've noticed that several of these have a strong aftertaste of carbon, which I assume is due to the CO2. The taste of caebon was more noticeable in some flavors than in others. br>br>In comparison to sodas, I give these a slight recommendation for taste and a strong recommendation for healthiness. I strongly advise first-time buyers to purchase a variety pack, as I found that judging a product solely on the basis of one flavor was unfair. br>br>It appears that Walmart has the flavors I prefer for $10 for 12 bottles. So that's how I'm planning on getting these in the future. With having to ship and wait, these are a little more of a pain. The bottle cases move around in the box because Amazon doesn't properly pack them. If you order 12 or more bottles and have them shipped, the weight becomes significant. br>br>07th Update- 2019: I've gone from over 400 blood sugar readings to under 100 by drinking these whenever I want and not drinking soda. And I still get to drink more than one per day, and the flavor is strong enough to fool my brain into thinking it's sweet like pop. The artificial sugar in these, on the other hand, has been certified as non-GMO. Every single tester has found it to be harmful. And the fact that my blood sugar has dropped dramatically and I haven't had a craving for pop indicates that they are effective. br>I've purchased these from Amazon several times.
