Seriously, Iowans DON’T Drink This… (Prove Me Wrong)

Another day, another 'top this or that in YOUR state' list... Most of the time, I agree with these lists. This one, I have never even heard of the product in question. Let's dive in - the list is 'TOP SEARCHED SELTZER BRANDS'. The list comes from Health-Aid and they often have solid content. But this list is lost on me. First off, seltzer water is all the rage. If you're not familiar, it's sparkling and usually flavored water - i.e. Bubly, La Croix, Klabrunn and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Okay, so the list aims to tell us what each stats fav. is based on our top searches. Iowa's pick...

Sparkling Ice

What is Sparkling Ice? I mean, okay I know what it is... and I've had it, and it's good. But it's Iowa's favorite? Nawww. Now, this is just my opinion based on what I have seen in and around the Cedar Valley... but Bubly is far more popular. I am an avid seltzer water drinker, and that's my go-to. Or, Aha (which is well represented on this list). When I go to the Cedar Falls Hy-Vee, I see lots of Bubble sold... A good amount of Waterloo Sparkling Water (which should be a 'duh' option for those in the Cedar Valley) and La Croix as well. But Sparkling Ice, I don't even know where in the store they sell it! The pop isle? Maybe. The seltzer water isle? I haven't seen it...

Whatever the case, Sparkling Ice was very well represented on the list, as was Bubly, La Croix and Aha. Let's agree: They're all pretty solid options! Now if you'd excuse me, I'll be Googling 'Bubly' over and over...
