Sparkling Ice Starburst Orange

Sparkling Ice Starburst Orange is a brightly packaged, candy-inspired flavored sparkling water you'll find in the refrigerated beverage aisle or on endcaps near other flavored waters, low-calorie sodas, and energy drinks. The 17 fl oz clear plastic bottle, often printed with vivid orange and pink graphics, sits alongside other Sparkling Ice flavors and novelty collaborations that borrow candy names and bold color cues. Shoppers reach for it on hot-day runs, summer BBQ stops, road trips and as a soda substitute at quick grocery trips when they want flavor without sugar. The brand positions itself as a fun, flavor-forward alternative for millennials and teens who want big taste and low calories; marketing leans into nostalgia and pop-culture partnerships while promoting “zero sugar” and added vitamins as benefit cues. Labels typically highlight “natural flavors,” vitamin fortification and calorie-free claims — there is no organic certification or whole-food ingredient list. In plain terms, this is a highly processed, manufactured beverage built from carbonated water plus concentrated juices, nonnutritive sweetener, colors, stabilizers and preservatives. Sensory notes: a bright, fizzy mouthfeel with an immediate citrus-candy aroma and a crisp, slightly syrupy sweet finish from the sucralose and acids; color is light orange from added colorants. Rituals around it are casual — cracked open cold at a picnic, sipped from the bottle during a commute, or poured over ice beside a sandwich. The product fits American grocery culture as a snackable indulgence that promises flavor and convenience more than culinary wholesomeness.
