A Pretty Good Seltzer Review Podcast: Five Stars

Episode 30: Starfruit Lemonade by Polar

It's a summer flavor with a wintry secret. What does starlight taste like? This sparkling seltzer, probably. This beverage has a bit of an identity crisis. Music by Steven O'Brien

Episode 29: Fuji Apple by Spindrift

Picture it: A sunny fall day. You're about to bite into the juiciest, crispiest, most delicious apple you've ever tasted. SIKE! You've opened a can of Fuji Apple flavored Spindrift. It's Sparkling Water AND Real Fruit. Because, allegedly, "real fruit tastes better". Music by Steven O'Brien.

Episode 28: Watermelon Lime by Good & Gather

Did you have fun on your Target run? You would if you picked up a case of Target's house brand Good & Gather Watermelon Lime sparkling water. It's a summer flavor in December, but we drink for the weather we want. Will drinking summer flavors help with Seasonal Affective Disorder? Probably not. There aren't any studies out there that definitively support that claim. Music by Steven O'Brien

Thanksgiving Special! Episode 27: Cranberry Fizz by Poppi

Look, it's not a seltzer but who makes the rules around here? Me. I do. So sodas count. To celebrate Thanksgiving, Elle sips on a holiday-themed flavor. Cranberries are relevant to Thanksgiving so, again, it still counts. Thanks to listener Linda J. for the four-pack of Cranberry Fizz by Poppi. Music by Steven O'Brien.

Episode 26: Magic Flavors by Polar Jr.

Have you ever wondered, "Are dragons real? If so, what does their whisper taste like?" or "Yetis, do they enjoy snowmobiling?" or "Who is that Ancient Greek dude who drove his boat into the rocks because he heard hot ladies with fish bodies singing?" If so, Polar has developed some flavors of bubbly water for you to enjoy in very small amounts. We've got TINY CANS people. Does a small can belie a small flavor? Or worse, a small bulb? Only one way to find out! Sipping on Dragon Whispers, Mermaid Songs, Unicorn Kisses and Yeti Mischief whilst maintaining a sense of propriety and decorum proves challenging, but Elle has the tummy fortitude of a beautiful musk ox. Music by Steven O'Brien.
