sodastream bubbly water (from fridge)
I read that LaCroix waters were started to compete with Perrier - have you tried LaCroix?
Right now I am drinking the next to last raspberry. I prefer orange but it’s not wonderful. I just need to accept that, for me, nothing compares to Perrier. I like their orange, their lime, their lemon, their grapefruit and unflavored. But it’s twice the price per ounce of everybody else.

Black coffee from Union beans. I bought a bag as it was on offer and wanted a change from my usual CafeDirect Macchu Picchu and it's delicous.

The basic issue I have is most flavors don’t taste natural. With Perrier, it’s as if I squeezed the fruit myself.

Tepid fridge water
Please try to get LaCroix and let us know if you like it. That said, I do own shares in FIZZ, so I do have a vested interest in your buying LaCroix so that the share price will rise.

A regular bottle of Kirkland Water since I am finally out of the 5 gallon bottles from Nestle Waters, formerly Zephyrhills formerly Deer Park. I canceled service back in November when I had 15 bottles and they refused to skip a few months. A long time customer from back in the Deer Park days, they give a rat's a** about taking care of the customer. Now I just need to figure out a way to get all my bottle deposits back.

I bought a 12 pack of their lemon flavor. Did your stock go up? It may be a while before I try it. The fridge is still stocked with bubly.

La Croix Limon-Cello flavor. I wish the flavors were spelled out on the can. This appears to be a mix of lemon and vanilla. It leaves a bitter aftertaste. Not a fan but will give another flavor a try before completely condemning.

oh dear! I wonder if you would like just a more plain lemon flavor - I know there’s orange, tangerine, and other great fruit flavors. I’m less sure about the mixed names like Lemon Cello.

I see the company is based in Hayward. Were you familiar with them before they went public? Is that why you bought the stock?
