It's a great way to kick soda. I did it that way. Unflavored plain sparkling water is shit, and even flavored sparkling water is pretty lame tasting. You gotta go with something like Clear American which has aspartame (artificial sweetener also in soda). Yes, that makes it not a completely 100% healthy drink but it's very very close to the taste of soda with much much much less of the teeth rotting and burn out you get later with soda. Their Mandarin Orange tastes very close to Orange Soda and their Key Lime tastes very close to Sprite. If you drink it with meals you can tell even less the difference between soda. All of the non-sweetener ones are gonna be the same shit, go with a sweetener one. It's a much healthier alternative to soda and the taste is very close.
