As American, can confidently say that yes, people drink soda as water. You can usually find people who drink directly out of the 2 liters but be mouth agape when you tell them you drink water from the tap
People are so accustomed to sugar overload they literally can't taste anymore. I drink la croix if I want something a bit bubbly, but so many Americans make fun of la croix drinkers. "It's like smelling a lemon from 10 feet away haw haw haw".
No, drinks like that actually have a lot of flavor, but your taste buds are so constantly overwhelmed with sugar that your literal ability to taste has degradated
Ehh, I pretty much only drink water and never soda and I agree with La Croix being irritably mildly flavored trash.
All La Croix taste like what I imagine cardboard tastes like. I think they make it smell like the listed flavor and hope people's brains interpret it as taste.
