Spindrift is legit and they actually use real fruit juice, that's their whole claim. But yeah, grapefruit is a garbage fruit. I'm with you on this.

Grapefruit is a fantastic citrus. I'm sorry that all of you peoples taste buds are broke as gently caress. Maybe stop cramming your face full of Glizzys so you can learn to appreciate the finer things in life, like La Croix

1. Limes 2. Lemons 3.Blood Oranges 4.Grapefruit 5.Oranges 6.Mandarins 7.Pummelo(What even is this?) That's the definitive list of citrus. If you disagree you're simply wrong.

Spindrift also owns, same w/ Waterloo. The San Pellegrino seltzers are okay. Grapefruit is the best seltzer flavor also

My FIL developed a terrible reaction to grapefruit, which he loves. Can't have it now. Consequently, he can't drink squirt, his favorite soda. The surprising part for me is that there even is enough grapefruit in that poo poo to matter

A lovely not juicy white grapefruit is pretty bad tbf. But I'm guessing any grapefruit haters have not had a nice ruby red.

Grapefruit is perhaps the most common thing to cause drug interactions, so it's a bit iffy for a lot of people just based on that. Depending on the drug, it can significantly increase or decrease the blood concentrations causing effective undermedication or overdose states. Some years ago I couldn't figure out why my pulse would start pounding an hour or so into my day, then I figured out I was drinking a grapefruit-based energy drink which was putting me into overdose on the antianxiety med I was taking. Good times. Also, the best Spindrift is cucumber, but the cowards moved it to only being made "seasonally," whatever that means.

Fruity seltzers are fun and different but the best flavor will always be plain. It's hard to find sometimes though and you really don't need to overpay for any fancy Perrier or San Pelligrino stuff. Just gimme some water with bubbles and that delicious carbonic acid flavor.

Cucumber Spindrift is by far the best one. I don't by Spindrift much anymore because it's more expensive. Usually I just get Kirkland because it's cheapest and it's okay. But you really notice the lack of flavor in Kirkland when you have something like Spindrift or Waterloo and drink a Kirkland right after. I don't mind the lime Lacroix either, so one in a great while I'll buy the two 15 packs of lime Lacroix from Costco because that's pretty cheap as well.

Well my psych said the grapefruit can increase the blood levels of one of my meds by 80%. Yikes.

There was a Jalapeno Hummus that my local costco had for a while. It hasn't been in stock for months and it's a shame since it was so much better than the other roasted red pepper flavors they always carry. I can't even find what the brand was from some google searches.

Just because something is made with a tiny bit of juice doesn't mean it tastes better. Polar is good, LaCroix can be good if you stick with their citrus flavors, and their citrus flavors (haven't checked the others) are naturally sourced (e.g. grapefruit extract). I’ve had some good spindrift packs but the last one I got with lemon and lime tasted weirdly… buttery

Costco a while back had like a 24-pack of pineapple Spindrift, which is one of their best, and I keep checking but since then they only seem to have the multipack which includes the problematic grapefruit.

Picked up an outdoor matt, the philips multigroom since my cheap trimmer died, and a bottle of the jack red blend. Went to snag a glizzy on the way out, but the cheese pizza was looking top tier today. Got both. PBUC

 In Quebec city, and blessed to see the hot dog is still $1.50, which is only $1.12 in freedom dollars. Also bought a bunch of maple syrup, fresh cheese curds, and Cadbury chocolate for cheap!!
