I-LACROIX / IMVELAPHI: CHANGYU LU/GETTY IMAGESAbantu babonakala benezimvo ezininzi malunga seltzer . Kodwa hayi mna. Ngapha koko, ukuba umntu ebendibuza ukuba yeyiphi incasa yam yamanzi ahlwahlwazayo kanye kanye kunyaka ophelileyo, ngenditshilo. akukho namnye kubo . Uyabona, kude kube mva nje, andizange ndiyiqonde yonke ingcamango ye-seltzer. Ngamanzi, anamaqamza. Kwaye iincasa? Balusizi, bambi, bayasebeza balinganisa izinto ezimnandi endingakhetha ukuzitya kunokusela. Ndinike iglasi yamanzi etephu alula kunye nesandla samaqunube phezu kwamanzi anencasa yequnube nangayiphi na imini. Kodwa isimo sam sengqondo satshintsha xa ndafumana eyona ncasa ilungileyo yamanzi ahlwahlwazayo awaziwa ngumntu: LaCroix Hi-Biscus!
Hi-Biscus! (endiza kubhekisela kuyo njenge-hibiscus ukususela ngoku ngenxa yengqondo yethu ehlangeneyo) yiyona ncasa yodwa kum, kwaye nantsi isizathu: Njengeti ye-hibiscus yokwenene, eyenziwe ngenxalenye yentyatyambo ye-roselle hibiscus, i-tart kodwa ayikho. ngokunjalo tart. Akukho kukrakra okanye okungathandekiyo, ukuzilazila, i-aftertaste eyenziweyo. Ibonisa ubumnandi, kodwa kuba iyiLaCroix, akukho siswiti esibandakanyekayo, esingeyonyani okanye ngenye indlela. Kwaye njengazo zonke izinto ezimnandi, kulula ngokwaneleyo ukugcina izinto zinomdla. (Oko kukuthi, kukho iivenkile ezimbini zegrosari phakathi komgama wokuhamba wekhaya lam, kodwa inye kuphela kuzo ephethe incasa.) Nditsho ingakwazi ukukutsalela ngemifanekiso yayo yehibiscus eguqulelwe ngokumangalisayo kunye nenqaku lesikhuzo elinobubele elithi andigrogrisi njenge. i-imeyile yomsebenzi onobubele kakhulu.
LaCroixUsenokukhumbula ukuba xa incasa entsha yaphehlelelwa ngoMeyi ka-2019, yadala isiphithiphithi (okanye isiphithiphithi esingabangelwa ngamanzi ahlwahlwazayo), ngakumbi phakathi kwabazinikeleyo baseLaCroix ababenethemba levatala. Kodwa ukuba uyandibuza, sonke sifanele sibe nombulelo kuba endaweni yesiselo esinencasa njengeJolly Rancher, sisikelelwe ngencasa yeenyembezi zengelosi zovuyo ezixutywe namaqunube nerharnati. (Uhlobo ekugqibeleni lwazisa incasa yevatala, ebizwa ngokuba yiPasteque, kodwa isecaleni kwenqaku.)
Eyam yokwenyani ithiyori malunga nokuba kutheni le ncasa ikwindawo enje: Ngelixa ezinye iincasa ze-seltzer zizama ukubamba incasa yokutya, ngokuqhelekileyo isiqhamo, zikwasusa ubumnandi bendalo ngenxa yeekhalori eziziro. Iti yeHibiscus, kwelinye icala, ayisiso isiqhamo okanye iswiti kwimo yayo yokwenyani. Ke ngoko, amathuba okuba i-seltzer enencasa ye-hibiscus incasa njengeyenyani yonyuka ngokukhawuleza.
Ewe ndiyaniva nina naysayers apha ngasemva. Abashicileli bePamplemousse banokugcina ezo toti zekhemikhali, kwaye akukho mbulelo, ndiya kudlula ngonaphakade laa seltzer enencasa yekhukhamba eyayiqukuqela ngokukhululekileyo kumatshini wamanzi akhazimlayo kwiofisi yethu. Ikhokhonathi? Incasa ngathi yi-sunscreen. Kwaye onke amanzi amaqunube abengezelayo ayityhefu. I-Hibiscus LaCroix kuphela kwamanzi ane-bubbly aya kubabala imilebe yam, i-$ 7-per-dozen ixabiso-tag igwetywe. Ndingatsho nokuba iphucule i-hydration yam yonke malunga neepesenti ezingama-200. Ngumsebenzi onzima ukucofa isiqingatha esicetyiswayo sobunzima bomzimba wakho kwii-ounces zamanzi athe tyaba, kodwa ndakhe ndasela iitoti ezintathu ze-hibiscus LaCroix kwisithuba seeyure ezintandathu. (Ndiphantse ndadada kwi-carbonation, kodwa ke, ndandimanzi.)
Kwaye ukuba oothixo beLaCroix bayayifunda le nto, ndiyathemba ukuba bayazi ukuba abanakuze bayiyeke le ncasa. Kungenjalo, kuphelile ngathi.
