This is a good remember that "flavored sparkling water" is actual a diet soda.
When I hear "diet soda", I think of drinks that have artificial sweeteners in them. Some flavoured sparking waters (like La Croix and its copycats) are just carbonated water and fruit essence with no sweeteners added.
What the fuck is "fruit essence"?
Fruit oil, essentially. Adds fruit flavour without adding the actual fruit or any calories. https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/d1fncd/eli5_how_is_fruit_flavor_essence_captured_if_soda/
