What You Should Know

You'd spot this six-pack in the sparkling water aisle or chilled at the back of the store, often grabbed for brunches, picnics, or to brighten up a mixed drink. It feels bright, sophisticated and refreshingly light—marketed as a grown-up, lower-calorie alternative to soda. The formula (carbonated water with juice concentrates, "natural flavors" and added salt) shows industrial flavor formulation rather than whole-fruit preparation, a hallmark of highly processed beverages.
