Lots of clones on the market now that are cheaper and/or have better taste.

I’m surprised it took the other soda manufacturers this long to figure it out.

That and more than 50 cents a can for fizzy non-sugar water is highway robbery when I can get the sugar version for 35 cents.

Yep. I'm drinking "Bubbly" by Pepsi. They come in many flavors. I love them so much to the point that any sweetened soda now is just too sweet.

Personally, I think there's a market for "semi-sweet" soda with less sugar (and not less sugar supplemented with an artificial sweetener, just less sugar). When I do drink soda, I like the cans at room temperature and poured over ice. This melts the ice just enough to water it down, cutting the carbonation and the sweetness a little bit to make it more palatable.

La Croix is okay. But I prefer other seltzer water brands. For some reason, there is not enough of fuzz in La Croix.
