Let me start out with a believable scenario. Say that you are headed to the store in search of something good to drink. You are parched and the thought of water sounds ridiculously divine, and as you walk in you immediately come across the carbonated water section. There are so many to choose from that you become ecstatic to find the right one to quench your thirst. You find yourself immediately gravitating towards bubly, but then at the last second you decide on La Croix. It won’t take you long to realize that choosing that certain drink would be the worst mistake of your entire life. I don’t care if anyone thinks that I’m being over dramatic because this is a serious case. A lot of people are in the same boat as me when it comes to this monstrosity of a drink.

Let’s start with the can itself. The outside is possibly the only thing good about the drink, but it all goes down from there. The cheap and stingy aluminum is so sharp that it constantly cuts my mouth when I try to drink out of it. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

There are also a creative variety of flavors to choose from, but that doesn’t mean any of them are good. When drinking this type of beverage you hope for a mouthful of flavor, but in reality, all you are getting is carbonated water with a hint of something that isn’t even close to flavor. Think of it as watered down gasoline. That is probably why they are so cheap. You definitely aren’t getting the bang for your buck. The flavors don’t even taste like the real thing!

Being tricked into buying something that isn’t worth the hype is what is wrong with marketing today. Almost any drink commercial makes the beverage sound so delicious and when you actually try it, you become filled with disappointment.

What I am trying to say is that something that is considered “trendy” is definitely not worth it. Go buy something that you actually enjoy instead of something that is going to end up in the trash later on. No matter how many times I try this drink, it will always be bad and I stand by that.
