I am getting tired of Topo Chico’s antics. What are your alternatives that you enjoy?
Cold tapwater + sodastream. You can filter your tapwater if needed in your area.
Polar Seltzer
This is a crazy recommendation but I think Canada dry plain seltzer is basically as good as topo Chico. I got some at a gas station the other day cause I was dying of thirst and it was as good as topo Chico my wife thought so too.
Liquid death
The dead billionaire is fantastic.
I like Waterloo for their flavors, but very little hits that super carbonation level that topo Chico does.
I have a soda stream I was gifted used from my aunt, and I like my tap water so I should give that a go.
I’ve tried a bunch but found almost all the bottled fizz I can buy to be quite bitter. I own one of those carbon sifon things now. Probably better known as sodastream in the Americas

If you’re only talking about plain I don’t have a recommendation, but for flavored I prefer Waterloo.
I drink pamplemousse La Croix. I just really enjoy it, way more than any other flavor or brand.
For all you sodastream people - I want you to know you are supporting genocide.
Bubbly its from Israel as well
?
The company is based in Israel and makes a lot of their products there. That being said, they’re owned by PepsiCo, an American company.
Oh, I had no idea. Our sodastream was a gift, but now that I know I’ll go looking for alternatives.
All that buying another soda maker does is create more waste. If you don’t want to support Sodastream, then buy some of the high-quality accessories from 3rd parties.
Jarritos Mineragua isn’t bad, and comes in glass bottles, but I still like Topo Chico in glass the most. I don’t drink it often though.

Mineragua is my go-to these days.
Personally a San Pellegrino person but significant others hate small bubbles, Saratoga Springs seems to be the best compromise in the small vs big bubble debate.
San Pellegrino belongs to Nestlé. Fuck Nestlé!
