What You Should Know

You’ll spot this lemon-lime sparkling water chilled in the beverage fridge or stacked in the sparkling-water aisle — a go-to for a guilt-free, fizzy refresher. It gives a crisp, uplifting vibe that feels healthy and light despite being a manufactured product. The carbonation and listed “natural flavors” create the mouthfeel and taste, and those industrially produced flavoring agents hint at an ultra-processed formulation rather than whole-food ingredients.
