Liquid Death, Psycho Cider Sparkling Water, Apple Cider Flavored Sparkling Beverage Sweetened With Real Agave, Low Calorie & Low Sugar, 8-Pack (King Size 19.2oz Cans)

So good! Hoping they bring them back this fall! Reminds me of an apple cider without all the sugar! But still getting a great taste, and the carbonation just adds to it!

I like the amount of carbonation in these . If you like carbonated water you would like this. The flavors are all mild . So it not like some similar looking other brands. It is a bit more expensive than I like so I won’t be using it as much as I would like to.

I wanted to hate this because it was so expensive and gimmicky, but the truth is that it’s the best sparkling water I’ve ever had in almost 40 years of life, and I am going to be crushed if/when they stop selling it.For starters, the biggest difference is in the way its carbonated. They use “beer carbonation” instead of “soda carbonation,” and that means that the bubbles are almost smaller. More frizzante than in your face bubbles. That does remove the subtle bitterness in the aftertaste of regular sparkling beverages. I didn’t know there *was* bitterness in regular sparkling beverages, but we did a blind taste test with some friends between the two, and sure enough, it was a marked difference in flavor when tasted side by side. Everyone preferred the Liquid Death, hands down (and then we all swore a blue streak because we wanted to prefer the cheap stuff).The other bubble advantage in Liquid Death sparkling water lies in the size of the bubbles themselves. They’re smaller—significantly so—meaning you get all the sparkly goodness, but in a form that is much easier to chug. You can drink it faster when you’re thirsty, and you end up with less of that bloated, gassy feeling in your stomach after a healthy swig of the stuff.If you’re like me, you forget to drink until you’re TOO thirsty, frantically dehydrated, and desperate to pour a ton of fluid into your body at once. Liquid Death makes that easy!If you’re like me, you ALSO hate drinking anything without bubbles in it, leaving you stuck with soda (bad for you), beer (also not good for you), champagne (makes you silly), and things like La Croix type water with fruit “essence” (good for you, but not delicious and makes you gassy. My kids say that one tastes like “water with fruit farts,” and I think they’ve pretty much nailed the description).BUT NOT ANYMORE!! Now there’s an easy to drink, clean tasting, refreshing as can be option called liquid death. Sure, it may cost as much as my car payment to stay stocked up, but it’s worth it.P.s. makes a KILLER mixer. We’ve tried it mixed with everything from Martinelli’s apple juice to A&W Root Beer to 365 brand Cherry Vanilla soda (also at Whole Foods) and every single combination has been absolutely killer. I have friends who come help with yard work just so I’ll make them one of those cherry vanilla/liquid death spritzers, calling it “maybe the most refreshing drink I’ve ever had.” And they’re right. It’s super refreshing, and cuts the calories of the totally delicious cherry vanilla soda in half, but adds to the awesomeness rather than detracts from it. 10/10. Please don’t stop carrying this without telling me in advance so I can buy a semi-trailer of the stuff??

Upon receiving my case of water, before I could open it, I was immediately drawn to the dark and mysterious artwork on the side of the box. I stared in awe and wonder as I held it -- I could already feel my thirst beginning to quiver in anticipation of agony. I gently placed it on the counter, and carefully and curiously sliced the packaging tape with a precision cutting instrument, cautiously avoiding damaging the contents. What would I unleash, I thought?Once the savage contents were exposed, and I lifted the first can from its cellulose cage, I instantly recognized a difference in heft from cans containing popular grain beverages. This was going to be no normal experience! The can was emblazoned with the words (in dark gothic lettering) "Liquid Death" -- and a skull, surely from the corpse of a once-raging thirst. It was as if the can screamed, "Release me! I will slay your thirst!" My thirst immediately began writhing, filled with the uncontrollable fear of death. Death to thirst is quickened by a properly chilled thirst-slaying agent, so I restrained myself, and placed it in a sealed, temperature-reducing chamber. I'm almost certain the can shuddered somewhat when it felt the first draft of coldness.Once the can descended to its maximum kill potential in my refrigerator, I waited for the right moment. It was a hot, humid spring day in backwater South Carolina. Cases of cheap, domestic grain beverage were ubiquitous, the cans of each failing to accomplish the seemingly impossible that day -- the slaying of thirst. When I gripped the can, I instantly felt a deep chill. I knew my thirst was in deep trouble.The top of the can, including the pop tab itself, is a luxurious gold color. I wedged my finger underneath the tab, and pulled effortlessly to open the can. As soon as the tab punctured the lid, a howling hiss escaped from the can. The death engine had been activated. I felt a rush of adrenaline, if not a sense of unbridled masculine power. The thirst that was raging within began writhing again, but much more vigorously, "screaming" as it were with a hideous, mouth-piercing dehydration. My mouth, in the throes of a near-death experience, was about to be delivered!As I tilted the can at my mouth, the water quickly and precisely cascaded over the parched membranes of my oral cavity. They squealed with delight, absorbing every succulent drop of what tasted like chilled, heavenly nectar. Each gulp was answered with a subsequent dying gasp from my thirst, with each passing gasp growing weaker and weaker. Alas, within seconds, the vicious thirst that plagued me was no more. Liquid Death had decimated yet another victim! O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?Interestingly, I noticed a subtle side effect upon the consumption of this beverage of death. I felt an unmistakable rise in a masculinity that had been long forgotten in modern times. The sensibilities of modern, emasculated males, had left me. I felt empowered! I felt invigorated, unlike any pharmacological compound (blue, or otherwise) was capable of! I at once felt victory, violence, aggression and arousal! It was refreshing!! When I inquired with my spouse, I asked if she noticed a difference. The answer was enthusiastically, YES!You might think the story ends there. It does not. I ordered my next case of masculine nirvana. Then, I picked up my club, grabbed my spouse by the hair, and drug her to my cave. It was a good day for both of us.Death to thirst!!

At first glance, most see the marketing and the can design and think, "Wow. They're really trying hard to prevent people from buying this. Why on Earth would I drink water with a rotting skull on the can?"Because it's delicious, that's why.My coworkers don't seem to be able to taste anything unique about Liquid Death, but I feel quite the opposite. It DOES taste like mountain water. There's a faint, yet distinctive mouth-feel to it, and it has an ever-so-slight rocky-slate taste, but not so much that it's overpowering or unappealing.Oh, and it's magical.The other day, I ended up getting really (really) lost on a hike and was about to give up in the middle of the woods atop a small peak. I was running low on water, but had stashed a can of Liquid Death in my bag for a refreshing kick at the end of the hike. I decided that I should enjoy it while I was still alive and breathing, so I cracked the can, took a few healthy gulps, and felt immediately refreshed and ready to find my way back to civilization.Needless to say, I made it and I owe a lot to Liquid Death. It really does murder your thirst.
