I've been experimenting with flavored sparkling water lately. I like certain flavors of Waterloo a lot (better than La Croix, which I had up at my sister's), but then I discovered that I really, really like the Lidl brand of orange and of grapefruit, so... less expensive and tastier. Win! I don't think I've tried Spindrift; I have no qualms about a little actual juice in there. Might have to give it a shot.

Nixie lime/ginger is my favorite of all the fizzy waters. It has a nice ginger bite, but also a good amount of lime. The ginger doesn't overwhem the lime, which happens with the Polar ginger lime mule flavor. I like a nice balance of ginger and lime.

For more excitement, I can talk about the best brand of prunes.

Those mini Sunsweets are dandy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ooh, I'll have to look for Nixie, ginger and lime is an excellent combination. Although I have not actually bought fizzy water in a while - this convo has been a good reminder that I do, in fact, like that stuff

Ha!

We mostly buy Polar seltzer because it’s local and cheaper. The Spindrift is more of my every once in a while treat.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't know if it's the brand of sparkling water I've tried, but I've found them low on the flavor amount. I don't like the taste of seltzer.

I have an appointment for my yearly skin check on February 9th. Hopefully there won't be anything serious found.

flea, that is very David Bowie of you.

None of my pants are velvet. I am failing at pants.

Trader Joe's prunes are great and they have the best price by a mile.
