Adventures in Water

Last week I had an adventure in this ongoing pandemic... I went to Target.  While wearing my mask, I saw four La Croix water flavors I hadn't tried yet.  Plus, I didn't have those cans in my collection.

Hi-Biscus - I believe this is the first can of this flavor in my collection.  I wasn't sure what to expect, something between the taste of a rose and a daffodil maybe?  But the smooth, surprisingly sweet taste was actually rather pleasant.  Way to not suck, hibiscus.

Limon Cello - What does that even mean?  But upon tasting it was more than just lemon, it tastes like there could be some vanilla or something else to smoothen up the lemon.  Music to my taste buds.

Lime - It's lime.  I'm not a big fan of lime, but if I imagine the taste of lemon with this it's a pretty good 7Up imitator. 

Lemon - It's lemon.  I like lemon, and if I imagine the taste of lime with this it's a pretty good 7Up imitator. 

And those were my adventures in water in the good ol' pandemic summertime!

Good & Gather

A strange name for a brand, but my daughter recently scored these three Good & Gather cans from Target.

The Summer of Flavored Water continues.  These were pretty good and were carbonated.  The flavors are Ginger Peach (the best of these three IMHO), Lime, and Strawberry Mango.  

I rate these a "G" for "good."

Razz-Cranberry

At the store last week, I saw this flavor of La Croix sparkling water and decided to buy a 12-pack.  It's called Razz-Cranberry.

On the way home, a cranberry-raspberry flavored La Croix started to sound familiar.  Had I just bought a flavor that was already in my collection?

One of the first places I look now to see if I have a particular can is this blog.  I did a search on "La Croix" and sure enough, I found this post from June of 2019 that had this picture in it:

Yep, I already had that can.

But wait!!!  The cans featured in last year's post were Cran-Raspberry and the can I just got is Razz-Cranberry.  Then I realized how awesome that is.  As far as I know, this may be the first flavor name swap in my collection.  Sweet.

As a can collector, always look at the details.  Even something as obvious as the name of the flavor can be a variation for your collection.
