    Has anyone tried these? I wonder how they measure up to the competition

    • Amy

      They are not amazing – I was disappointed because I really wanted to love them.

  2. Stormy

    They are just OK in my opinion. We like the blue one (maybe it’s ocean) the best (?). If you drink seltzers, try it! Not going to be my go-to, but they are worth a try IMHO.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for letting us know what you’ve thought of these, Stormy! I’ll have to try the blue one! 💞

    We got some in Oklahoma. They were terrible imo. We tried one of each, just overwhelming tin can flavor. No cherry taste to the cherry limeade, so disappointing. We ended up throwing away the rest of them. They were just undrinkable. I was SOOO excited to try them, I assumed they were so bad that they just kept it to OK. As thats where they were being made.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      DARN! Sorry to hear you didn’t care for them. Thanks for the honest feedback. 🙌

    The water flavor packets are amazing! Can’t wait to try this!!

  5. Jessica

    Don’t love them unfortunately, here in TN. They kinda taste like playdoh.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Bummer! Thanks so much for sharing your honest thoughts with us, Jessica! 💕

    I searched high and low for these and my husband finally found them and got me the red citrus pack. I was not impressed – maybe I had my expectations set too high. I did drink them all because I refuse to waste alcohol (unless it’s Whiteclaw surge – I just couldn’t finish them) but I will not buy again unless it’s the only thing available. They weren’t horrible, just not amazing.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Oh darn! We sure appreciate you sharing your experience, Amy! 💗

    I’ll second and third and fourth this comment section. We love sonic drinks so we’re excited to taste these. Between my husband and I we are hard pressed to find a hard seltzer at least one of us won’t drink. I like sweet and he doesn’t. We each tried these and unfortunately promptly threw the whole pack away. Save your money, these are not tasty, they are very artificial tasting.
