I am getting tired of Topo Chico’s antics. What are your alternatives that you enjoy?

My tapwater is great. And if I want it fizzy I have a machine to mix it with CO2.

Same here. Tap + sodastream and Mio if I want a bit of flavor. Farm Boy (Canadian Whole Foods style grocer) has the best canned water tho. The flavors are so light and delicious. Orange & Vanilla or Pineapple take the top spots for me.

Cold tapwater + sodastream. You can filter your tapwater if needed in your area.

Replace Sodastream with a company that has less genocidal relations.

I would say it depends on where you are, as some brands are not available in every country. IMO start backwards and find out which places near you offer canister refills or generic exchanges, and pick a compatible make. There’s also adapters that will let you plug in generic CO2 tanks into soda makers. Again, find local distributors of clean CO2, and you’ll have bigger refills for a fraction of the cost.

I use Arke for filtered water and carbonation, but I am in some respects a fancy bitch.

What happened with Topo Chico? They’ve always been my go-to soda water.

Not sure what OP’s reasonings are, but the brand is owned by Coca-Cola, which has ties with Israel and operates a bottling factory in the occupied West Bank.

According to Consumer Reports, Topo Chico consistently tested the highest for PFAS among carbonated waters. But they also said almost all store-bought carbonated waters tested positive for PFAS.

I remember reading somewhere posted a while back on a social media aggregated site where a bunch of professional food taste testers unanimously agreed Polar was the best.
