Does it taste like sprite?
Not a big soda fag or anything but it looks interesting.

Polar is one of the only flavored bubbly waters I actually enjoy that doesn't cost alcohol prices. It must be an East Coast thing because I haven't seen it since moving West of the Mississippi. I've tried half a dozen flavors of la croix and they are all disgusting. Usually I just buy a case of perrier or pelligrino when they go on sale at Costco, with a few limes, and that's only for every now and then when I feel like a change from tap water.

Is seltzer really expensive out west? That's a shame. I live in New England and it's not uncommon to find a 12-pack of Canada Dry or store brand for less than $3.

No, it's just as cheap. There just aren't any cheap brands that I like.

I'm not going to deny that sugar addiction is real, and that some people really struggle with it, but it honestly seems like a joke to me. Literally just cut out soda and candy and generally just anything dessert like from your diet for a few weeks, maybe 3 months tops, and your taste buds will go back to normal. Nobody is forcing you to eat any of those things. They're literally called "treats", as in something supplementary you treat yourself to in addition to your meal for special occasions. Once your taste buds stop being broken most of that shit is disgusting. I can do an 8 hour shift of heavy labor in 90 degree heat and be given an ice cold coke, and I'll still throw it in the trash after two sips because of how sickly sweet it is. Drinking soda every day is like taking depression meds; you just walk around completely numb to 90% of the stimuli you encounter.

Did you even read the post? It's the easiest possible addiction to get out of and the hardest one to fall back into.

I could find it at Costco in New Mexico, so I don't think it is a East Coast thing. I can concur it is a great seltzer.

For me it's bang energy, sometimes when I wake in the morning feeling extra tired I go to my nearest gas station and buy myself a can of Bang energy. Each can has 300 mg of caffeine, contains no sugars and kicks me into gear and gets me energized for my long day of working or hitting the gym. Sometimes I even get 2 cans for an extra kick at my nearest Holiday gas station, I get $1.50 off the 2nd if I buy 2. Yessir with each crisp sip of Bang I feel like I'm getting a bang for my buck I guess thats why they call it bang.

addiction is a mental illness more than anything
people who are addicted to any junk food have mental/emotional issues that they refuse to address and use food to numb the psychological/existential pain

did you know you can blackout from binge eating just like an alcoholic? i thought that was interesting
