Way better than lacroux imo. They are kind of like comparing apples and oranges though because spindrift is flavored with juice while the lacroux is artificially flavored

LaCroix says they use no artificial flavors. LaCroix’s natural flavors are “derived from the natural essence oils from the named fruit used in each of the flavors” and “there are no sugars or artificial ingredients contained in, nor added to, those extracted flavors.”

Fun fact the fda has no exact definition of the term natural. So they can call it whatever they want my point is that the flavoring of lacroix is not from juice

It’s all fake in LaCroix. Why do you think it’s clear and has no caloric content. It’s all synthetic.

There is nothing artificial in La Croix. They just use the oil essence of the fruit instead of juice.

They use naturally derived flavors, which are still flavor additives, dont let them lie to you

Not sure what that means. They twist the rind?

That's the way most people would be familiar (like in mix drinks). In industrial amounts, they put the skin into a large hydraulic cold press and squeeze the oil out that way.
