I am a caffeine addict -- a true addict in the sense that I start to feel badly when a certain amount of time has passed since my last dose of caffeine. This is why I depend on the first two cups of coffee in the morning (the early morning cup around 6:00 am or so, and the "reinforcement cup" around 10:00am), for my well-being and alertness.But after that, my stomach begins to get unhappy with the things that are in coffee (particularly the acid). Tea isn't much better, and I am concerned about the sugar in colas and the other ingredients in sugar-free colas.Enter Bubbly "Bounce." It's sparkling water -- good-tasting because of some very creative flavors -- and much easier on the stomach than coffee. And it delivers 35mg. of caffeine (the same as a cola drink). It provides me with just the right amount of caffeine to sharpen me up when the second cup of coffee begins to wear off. I'm very happy with this product - it satisfies my early and mid-afternoon caffeine need without adding ingredients beyond the H20 and the caffeine. And it's refreshing and good-tasting to boot!I like the Bubly sparking water drinks. They're not strongly flavored, but are sufficiently flavorful. These are a much healthier alternative to sodas such as colas and that ilk; these have no sweeteners and no calories. Often, I get the lime flavor because it goes well with everything. I tried this variety pack (called 'Love You a Brunch' on Amazon), and I'll buy it again. The pomegranate flavor goes well as a gelato float with Talenti Raspberry Dark Chocolate Chip gelato. The other two flavors are very nice, as well. Be aware that the cans are not divided equally among the flavors. There are a couple of the coconut pineapple, a couple cans of the pomegranate flavor, and most are bellini bliss, which is labeled as peach, pineapple, and mango. It's a nice flavor, so it's great that there are more of that flavor.If you're concerned about carbonated beverages releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and contributing to global warming, I looked into this and found that carbonated beverages all together contribute about 0.001% of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, which is considered negligible. Enjoy!When I reach into my refrigerator, thinking about how much I should NOT have a sugary beverage, but yearning for the delightful party in my mouth that comes from carbonated drinks, I am always grateful to see bubly, and somehow I think I enjoy drinking them.They taste like... well, nothing. But slightly better than nothing. And they definitely don't taste like carbonated cold medicine mixed with bug spray, like some other sparkling water beverages. I am bothered by the single B in the middle of Bubly, (I bet some of you just noticed that its not bubbly, like champagne) as well as by the lack of capitalization, but I get the whole bub makes smiley face thing is a neat trick.So, five stars.Just the right amount of flavor and plenty of carbonation.A lot of people will say Bubly has no flavour and tastes like medicine. The truth is we have all been drinking beverages with too much sugar. Sometimes we just need some water with some fizz. This beverages (Bubly) are great to drink after working out in the sun. The flavour changes when ypur dehydrated. Raspberry definitely is the best flavour. I haven't tried this but I believe Bubly can be use as a mixed drink.I love the flavor and carbonation and the no sugar. There is nothing I don’t like except the damaged cartons!Convenient way to get a variety of flavors delivered right to home and not sodaThe water we received was flat! Hardly any carbonation at all. Very disappointed!I ordered this product because it had strawberry watermelon and pineapple and that is not what I received. I got a case of strawberry and half a case of lime for one. Also the strawberry was missing two cans. And I received an orange and another half of lime.This is extremely disappointingSerious trash! Half empty can, cherry flavour (which is readily available anywhere instead of watermelon,) dented cans. UnbelievableVariety pack was not variety only got one flavour and not any flavour from what I purchased very disappointedi ordered this product as it advertised pinapple and watermelon flavours, i was sent strawberry, lime, and grapefruit. very disappointedNot as advertised.
