The Mango Chainsaw is better BUT I still really like the lime. It reminds me of a mojito - I love mojitos.

  • Flavor Taste 7.5
  • Flavor Intensity 5
  • Carbonation **Low, Subtle Notes of… lime, the agave, and I swear I can taste of hint of mint but I think my brain is playing tricks on me. In the end it's like a light flavoring of virgin mojito.

Definitely getting this one again.

 

I can't believe I didn't know about these flavors before.

The Mango Chainsaw is pretty amazing, however, this seltzer has some sugars in it. This brings about the question: at what point can you call a drink a seltzer and at what point does it become a juice / soda type drink? A debate for another day maybe.

  • Flavor Taste 8
  • Flavor Intensity 5
  • Carbonation Low, Subtle
  • Notes of... it's slightly tangy, definitely tropical, kind of has a pineapple/mango almost hint of bubble gum flavor to it (reminds me a tad of Red Bull).

Definitely will buy again and will be bringing this to group gatherings where people want you to look like the rest of the cool hipster beer drinkers.

 

It tastes like lemon pie. I don't like drinking pies. Who thought this one was a good idea?

  • Flavor Taste 3
  • Flavor Intensity 8
  • Notes of… key LEMON pie? Bizarre. I'm sure there are people who like these flavors - not for me.
 

Seriously, what should I buy in bulk and try? I have an indecision complex.

P.S. get ready for me to trash your selections in reviews.

Still trying to work out if I should bother a longer seasoning cycle to disappear those "milky spots" on the inner edge of the pan. But doesn't effect my cooking right now so I'm not worried about it.

Ah! But then you need a dedicated hat. 😆 Definitely an additional +1 to any kit.

Also, what's this second flashlight with a silicone diffusor? Got a model/name for it?

 

This is an attempt to figure out what caused it. It is also an example of how it's pretty difficult to figure out what actually causes a migraine from day to day.

Slept from 12 to 9:30AM. Breakfast was French Toast and Eggs. Skipped Coffee. Went swimming out in the sun for about an hour (had sunscreen on). First started feeling a headache and getting dizzy and progressed into a migraine - 11:30AM. Had pizza and root beer for lunch. Took a midday nap for about an hour at 12:30PM. Woke up with throbbing migraine. Took Aleve. Drank 1000ml of water (not that that helps really). Drank a cup of coffee. Migraine went away at about 2PM.

If I take Aleve quickly enough I can usually stop a migraine within an hour or two. If I take it too late then the Aleve does nothing and the migraine can sometimes last until the next day.

Why does this timeline matter? It matters because it's an example of how anything could have caused the migraine especially when there are so many confounding factors at play.

  1. Woke up later than usual.
  2. Didn't drink my normal coffee in the morning, withdrawal/craving?
  3. Out in the sun too long?
  4. I had sunscreen on, sensitivity to the sunscreen chemicals?
  5. Didn't eat enough for breakfast + craving more substantial food, needing to eat lunch earlier?
  6. Something else entirely not listed here?

Sometimes you just can't figure it out - you just gotta take the meds quickly and move on.

 

I drank 4 of these today. They hit the spot. But they are nowhere near as good as Polar's Ginger Lime Mule flavor.

  • Flavor Taste 8.5
  • Flavor Intensity 6
  • Notes of… lime. Are you surprised?

I will keep posting pictures of random seltzer I drink even if it drives everyone out of this community. 😆

I started adding an additional headlamp flashlight to my bags - in an emergency I may need my hands available. Has been the better choice when there's something I need to fix or work on at night.

 

I'm not kidding around - this better become a reality.

Now it's your turn to add to the wave of suggestions they are about to get: Polar Seltzer Suggestion Box

 

Fully stocked with every flavor and ready to go. Plus those buy two get one free deals are killer. I usually buy 12 at a time.

My favorite La Croix flavor at the moment. Enjoying one while setting up some Lemmy communities.

  • Flavor Taste 9.5
  • Flavor Intensity 6
  • Notes of... fucking Pamplemousse, basically Grapefruit. This isn't wine tasting.
 

I will always say they are an underrated group.

 

Looks like a knock-off Jeep, doubt it's actually a Jeep.

Nothing is better for and ADHD brain than tests and more tests. 😬

Only when I hit a point where I say "I am very tired and should go to bed" and then that's when I might actually start doing work. Got to love it.

fist bump 👊 😎

I literally am doing the same thing. I should be working on some client projects that are due over the next two days and instead I created 7 different communities. But I am creating those communities so damn well! 🤷🏻‍♂️

"Now I am leaving Earth for no raisin!" but I specifically use "... for no raisin" in everyday conversation.
