blueberry pomegranate bubly

This tastes like blueberry and nothing. It tastes a little bit more like nothing than the other bubly flavors, I think. The light blueberry vibe is OK, not amazing but not upsetting and not really medicinal either. I don't hate it. Classic bubly!

White Peach Ginger Bubly

Woah, bubly's getting a little too fancy for me. I like peach and I like ginger, so this is a good bubly. It mostly tastes like soft peach. Light peach. Tender peach. I don't get a ton of ginger or other spices, but that's OK. I can imagine someone is baking a peach pie 5000 miles away, and that's all I need to get by.

Blackberry bubly

This bubly tastes (or maybe smells?) very similar to this pink liquid medicine I had a lot as a kid. I guess it was bubblegum flavored. Anyway, it was good for medicine, but not amazing for a drink. I don't get a strong "blackberry" flavor from this, anyway. But it's OK, just not amazing.

Pineapple Bubly

Fun new (to me) bubly! I like the pretty yellow can, and the flavor is a solid one too. Definitely pineappley, no weird notes or vibes, a little coconut reminiscent but I think that's just as they're often paired. I'd bubble with this li again.

mango bubly

Haaay, mango bubly. This is the last flavor of bubly I had left to try from my bubly sampler pack, and it was firmly average. No medicinal taste like the red bois, but not as sweet and delightful as the apple and orange. It tasted a bit like a citrusy beer or mixed drink, almost, with that lack of sweet flavor and carbonation. Not bad, but a little too tonic-y to delight in. I didn't get a super strong mango vibe, although it is more tangy than the lemon and lime (which I think I liked slightly better because they were more neutral). Cute and unique color and flavor choice though.

strawberry bubly

Much like the cherry flavor, this tastes way too much like medicine. I am not allergic to it, which is good, and the can says "hiii", which is cute, but it really doesn't taste good to me. So artificial (which it is)! Now I'm questioning if the other bublys were even good, but I think they were. Just no red bublys for me.

apple bubly

Apple bubly? What has the bubly world come to!? This is definitely a green apple flavor, like a green jolly rancher. It's decent, although maybe a little disconcerting to taste a candy-ish flavor in a sugar-free bubly format. I like it way more than the cherry one, though, so I'm into it. I also like the color of the can, it's a lovely green. There's also a moustache on the back, which made me wonder if all of the cans have moustaches on them and I never noticed! I will let you know in my next bubly review, so stay tuned!

cherry bubly

I gotta be honest, this bubly is bad. Badbly. The cherry flavor tastes just like cherry flavored medicine. Of course, it's better than medicine because there's no medicine, only the weird flavor and mild carbonation, but the association is too strong and it can never be pleasant for me. It's also harder to find this bubly online, so maybe other people agree and they're gonna stop making it! Here's hoping.

lime bubly

This is a solid bubly flavor -- has a nice hint of limeness, and not super strong. No weird taste of metal or chemicals. One thing I like about bublys is that they aren't as fizzy as other drinks (I don't like fizzy much), and the flavorings are all almost like candy flavors even without the sweetness. Very ~Pure~.

orange bubly

Oh yeah. I am all in on Orange Bubly. This might be my favorite flavor of bubly yet, it tastes just like an orange soda or orange dessert but obviously with no sugar! This one didn't even have a weird metallic or chemical taste either, just nice pure orangeness. I like bublys quite a lot, even though their politics are weird (see: the komen breast cancer one) and this one says "yo" on the tab instead of "hey u", which I was not anticipating. I also heard someone was allergic to the strawberry flavored one, which makes me nervous that I will be too. But if it's not top-8, it can only be peas/beans/anise that would do me in, and bubly wouldn't have those things, right?! Perhaps I'm borrowing trouble because my body is starting to heal from its agonies, I hope, maybe. Inhala, exhala. This is a good bubly.

lemon bubly

Hello, bubly. You're still cute, even when I'm not sick. This flavor isn't my favorite, but I still like the ethos of bubly. I like that it is sugar free and a liquid, but the lemon flavor really doesn't taste like anything at all. This basically tastes like tonic. Which is fine, it fulfills that proto-alcoholic desire of drinking "something" that's not just water, it just doesn't actually taste very good. But it's nice and neutral and somehow more filling because of the bubbles.

grapefruit bubly

I am into bubly above all other sparkling waters, because the name is hilarious. i got this because I am sick and need to hydrate. However, it smells really strongly of grapefuit, but the taste is just a tiny subtle citrus hint -- along with another weird chemical/metallic taste (??) but that might be because I am sick. The design of the can is cute, but what's not cute is that because it's pink, they are sponsored by the Susan B. Komen foundation (boo) and they say things like "Check your cans! ;)" (boo). As a high-risk breast-cancer girl, I find that stuff gross and misguided. But I still like bubly.
