The problem with a lot of hydration products is that they contain a huge amount of electrolytes...and that's fine, if you're an athlete, because your body needs them, because you're sweating them out and they need to be replaced. But alot of people who drink these AREN'T athletes and they drink them sitting at a desk or playing video games and don't need anywhere near as near as much, and consuming that many electrolytes can actually be bad for you.

Just carbonated or flat water with fruit essence, they also have teas.
think La Croix or Polar seltzer water except with less carbonation and terrible tasting flavors
these drinks are marketed for people who dont want to drink but want to "fit in" by carrying a can around a party/event
these drinks also are marketed to people who want to look cool drinking water/sparkling water
their sparkling water is extra bitter without extra carbonation and their flavors that i have tried (at least 3-4) have been so nasty i wouldnt take a can for free.
to add insult to injury this has about 10% of the electrolytes a shit drink like Propel does
All of the sparkling waters taste a bit different to me, similar to the bottled waters of various brands. I can taste a difference between bubly, la Croix, liquid death and others.. I used to prefer bubly but find Liquid Death to be my favorite, specifically the older "from the alps" version in the black can.
The flavored ones, I'm not huge on. They taste more like watered down or flat versions of soda to me.
A lot of it is the marketing aspect which sells them. They look like a beer, they're "cool" And edgy, and the image helps sell it more than a bottle of regular water or a can of sparkling water from other brands. It sells as a "premium" which isn't really deserved, but its also sold heavily at discount retailers like Ross and Burlington for about $9/case (verses about $4-5 for a smaller case/can size of bubly or LaCroix)
