I don't drink this myself, I buy it for my dad who I swear would drink it by the gallon if offered. He is diabetic and we have been trying to get him off of diet soda for a long time, this is better for him.
I have no complaints about the product, I do wish amazon would do a better job keeping this flavor in stock, this is his favorite flavor and nearly impossible to find. I want to do a subscribe and save on it, hopefully amazon can get that going.
I don't usually review stuff but this deserves a review This is my favorite flavor and I can no longer find it locally. I decided to try amazon and see how it went. I am impressed. Free shipping and a decent price and, and I had my doubts about this as I am in North Pole Alaska, it didn't get frozen on the journey. Now I have all the sparkling ice I want, in the flavor I want, without the frustration of trying to find it locally. (They apparently discontinued the flavor. Then had my next favorite back ordered for three months. A couple weeks after I bought this, the vendors stocking at one of the stores I go to spotted me and showed me how they finally got my second favorite flavor in. I just told them I am now getting it from amazon.)
Btw. The reason this product is so important to me is that it is fabulously flavorful, sweet tasting but not too sweet, and the biggest reason is that despite all that, it has zero calories and carbs. Being a diabetic, that is a biggie. I don't drink soda pop but was REALLY getting tired of water. It even has some nutritional value. Awesome product and amazon really has it together with the shopping, what with it getting here without freezing, and you know what carbonated drinks do when they freeze, and the subscription service makes it super easy to keep it around.
I first tried these just a few weeks ago after noticing them being promoted in our local grocery store, packaged in Seattle Seahawks colors.
The taste is quite sweet, and carbonated, and I generally prefer to drink these over ice so they stay cold as well as become a bit diluted as the ice melts. The various fruit flavors are all very nice and I generally purchase the Variety Pack although I also have purchased the Cherry Limeade flavor. I have only tried this in the tall thin plastic containers, 17 ounce size, which are comfortable to hold in the hand.
Much of the flavor and sweetness comes from natural fruit extracts, although these drinks do contain an artificial sweetener - sucralose - which is commonly available as Splenda No Calorie Sweetener. I have mixed feelings about consuming anything artificial, but for the moment at least I am comfortable drinking this.
My first choice for thirst quenching during the day and with dinner is still water (I prefer San Pellegrino, Sparking Natural Mineral Water which I purchase in the glass bottles locally), and I drink filtered water from the dispenser at my office during the day. But once a day or so I will treat myself to a sweet flavored drink, and at the present time this Sparkling Ice is my favorite.
It was convenient to purchase from Amazon and the cost was comparable to what I pay locally.
This is my first adventure in taste titillation with this gift of a thirst quenching, body nourishing, energy giving, refreshing, tasty, effervescent elixir whose formula I believe was given to the company by space aliens who did not want to see the American people suffer with overly sugary, caloric empty calorie brown bubbly water that has not even seen a cola nut. These "Sparkling Ice" refreshments that the benefactor aliens instructed the company to make have 0 yes no calories and the black cherry taste was tart and sweet but not overly sweet. Your taste buds adapt readily to the sucralose and it continues to be tasty and onto craveable tasty!!!!
Some really good stuff next... they have no caffiene, instead, 50 mg of Green Tea and your metabolism is humming away. Wait there is more...B vitamins and what we all seem to be little low on these days D vitamins. Of course...carbonation that is just right!!! While I love to drink plain cold water for many things, this is now one of my daily goto liquid libations from top secret aliens...:') Please don't let your lack of belief in aliens stop you from trying this very fine product. I am a Diet Coke nut. This comes close to my love for Diet Coke and will certainly help me stay better hydrated and rev up the old metabolism.
I had been looking for grapefruit flavored soda for quite awhile when I came across Ice. It tasted great so I started purchasing different flavors. Some I like a lot, some are ok and some I don't care for. I'm not going to lower my star rating just because I didn’t like a flavor. My go to flavors are black cherry, black raspberry, grapefruit and any of the lemonades/limeades. I have the new grape raspberry on order and I'm guessing I will like that too. Price wise: just wait a while until your flavor drops back to $12. I find the prices fluctuate quite a bit so if a favorite isn't $12, I try something new. Can anyone tell me why ICE is bottled in 17 oz containers when the rest of the beverage world are 16 oz?

Description
Sparkling Ice® is a fizzy and flavorful sparkling water—without all the calories. Transport yourself to the beach with tropical pineapple and tantalizing coconut flavor. (Mini umbrella not included).

My husband loves these ice drinks. He doesn’t drink much diet soda but is diabetic and finds this a nice alternative to water or soda for a treat. His favorite flavors are cherry, black raspberry, kiwi strawberry and cherry limeade. We buy about 3 cases a month from this seller and find them to be a bit cheaper here. At a big box store sometimes the multi pack can be cheaper but then you get a mixture of flavors. He only has those few he loves so being that they are always at least 1$ each at the store but normally 1.25$ this is a better buy. Plus i get to skip a trip to the store and carry those heavy bags that hold individual bottles.
Bottom line if you buy these often get the case. Much cheaper and convenient.
Great Black Raspberry flavor. Too me, these are strongly flavored, so I add about 1/3 of the bottle into a 28ozs. glass and then add fill up the glass with filtered water. For me, that ratio is great, I still get the carbonation effect and a drink that satisfies me and doesn't leave me parched.
Loved the price, as I'd bought some on sale at my local grocery store the previous week (before checking to see if Amazon had them on Subscribe & Save), and on sale they were $1 a piece. With Subscribe & Save I paid less than that and I didn't have to lug it home. Yes, prices vary all the time whether an item is purchased at a brick & mortar store or on-line. It's up to us as consumers to check prices before purchasing something. For those new to Subscribe & Save, only the 1st month of purchase is that price locked in, every order after that the price can vary. Amazon does send out reminders to check your Subscribe & Save order, after the order's prices have been locked in, so if the price has jumped too much, you are able to cancel that month's delivery.
EXPIRES: 08/02/2017
I liked this variety pack better than the last set I tried. All of the flavors were acceptable, although I liked Peach Nectarine and Pink Grapefruit the best. I had had these before. The two flavors I had not tried, Black Cherry and Coconut Pineapple were not as good as they sounded. I'm still waiting for the perfect combo.
This variety pack has some of the tastier flavors of Sparkling Ice. My husband thinks that any flavor with lemon in it tastes like janitor in a drum -> but the limeade is okay. My family likes it, and I am fine with them drinking it in moderation. It has artificial colors, flavors, and sucralose. It also has vitamins and green tea extract, and the bottles are BPA free. So, a bit of a mixed bag, but good in a household where we are eliminating aspartame and trying to cut down on caffeine.
