Waterloo – Tropical Fruit

I bought the last can at Whole Foods as they were de-stocking it—or maybe it’s discontinued, or out of season—I don’t know. This is a delicious water! I’ve got to say! Very fruity, and very… tropical. A pleasure any time of year, not just summer. I really don’t get why people want to enforce seasonal tastes—the seasons do enough enforcing on their own (and there are certainly things, like some produce, that are truly seasonal). But what I don’t get is when people close up shop (metaphorically) and hibernate in the colder months. I think some people just LIKE to be depressed—but I don’t understand WHY. Anyway, what is the flavor here? Blindfolded, I would guess—tropical fruit! On the can there’s a picture of a grapefruit and pineapple and something else, which looks kind of like durian. Could that be? Their website says blood orange (so that’s not a grapefruit), and pineapple, and mango. Oh, okay, it’s mango. Very good, the combo of those three. But now I’m thinking that durian sparkling water would be a home run (or at least a hole-in-one)—if anyone wants to take the chance. Wait… maybe there is one? Only a quick search, and I see a durian soda, but it’s got high fructose corn syrup in it—so gross. Come on! Get with it, durian sparkling water pioneers!
