    What’s wrong with agave nectar? And doesn’t it say it right there on the front of the can?

      No it doesn’t. See the picture I posted. And what’s wrong is that it isn’t honest to not make that clear. The other flavored seltzers are not sweetened.

        I dunno, it feels like kind of a stretch to be angry at them for you not looking at the label or calories.

        It says it’s flavored, and if you turn the can at all it says it has agave in it, and then it has calorie information and the list of ingredients.

        It’s kinda on you the read the ingredients if you care in my opinion.

          Please name another brand that calls itself flavored sparkling water that has sweetener in it.

          La Croix doesn’t.

          Bubly doesn’t.

          Polar doesn’t.

          Perrier doesn’t.

          Waterloo doesn’t.

          As far as I know, the only brand that advertises itself that way and is sweetened is Liquid Death. I consider that dishonest. I don’t think I should have to look at the ingredients label in that sort of situation.

            Spindrift. Clearly Canadian.

            If something says it’s flavored water it’s totally on you to check and see if those flavors are sweet or have calories.

            If it were difficult to read the label of find the information I’d be more sympathetic to the complaint, but in the mango drink you mentioned, it’s literally on the side of the can, maybe a quarter turn?

          Yes. On that can. Again, look at the can I posted in my reply below. In fact, I’ll paste it again. You tell me where it says it on that can.

          I cannot think of another brand that offers flavored sparkling water that puts sweetener in it. The whole idea is that it doesn’t have any sweeteners. It’s dishonest.

            It for sure says it on the can, but it’s not on the front of the can. This page has photos of the whole can, and agave nectar is in the beverage description (photo 3) as well as the second ingredient in the ingredients list.

              Are they displayed that way in the fridge at the gas station where you live? Because they aren’t around here.

                Pick up the fucking can and read it, you buffoon.

                are you not allowed to look at the can before you buy it at the gas station?

        The other flavored seltzers are not sweetened.

        To be fair, this one is an Arnold Palmer, not a seltzer.

          Again, not the one OP pasted, the one I pasted. The Liquid Death Mango Chainsaw can. It does not say agave anywhere. It is sweetened with it, unlike all other flavored seltzer brands.

        All Spindrift flavored seltzers are sweetened with fruit juice.
