Tried the Mandarin Orange Poland Spring sparkling water. Not horrid. I’d have it again. The issue is, it smell like orange soda, which I adore, but it tastes like flavored bubbling water, which I also adore, but isn’t the same as a big can of Orange Crush, y’know. So that means I like them all, except for lemon, because it smells too much like dish detergent.
Oh, and when did this obsession start? It was a slow start last fall when I decided to try to cut out soda from my diet (I’m down about 90% in soda consumption, but I reserve the right to keep some Barqs in the fridge.) Then we went on the whirlwind Disney trip in October, and on the concierge level, they had big bottles of Perrier. And when I asked for some to take back to the room one night, they handed me a whole big bottle. I have not been the same since.
