Ok so you are looking for a refreshing drink and you don't want to go with super sugary sodas. Not a bad idea, after all it can't hurt to take in less soda. And maybe you don't like the diet options offered by the major brands. No problem, we found two brands that might be worth a look. People are asking about the difference and Chat GPT will help us with the answer. Before that let's take a look at the two products.
First we have the Izze Sparkling Juice 24 pack of 8.4 oz cans made up of what they call the sunset variety pack. It's currently on Amazon for $16.84 (if you do subscribe and save) and it has a 4.7 star score on over 51,000 ratings.
Next we have the pack of 12 17 oz bottles from Sparkling Ice that come in a variety of flavors. We chose cherry limeade which currently is on Amazon for $11.06 (if you take subscribe and save) and has a score of 4.7 stars on over 91,000 ratings.
Both listings do well on both scores and ratings. The Sparkling Ice is a bit cheaper running at a rate of 5 cents and ounce where as the Izze is running at about 8 cents an ounce. So not a huge difference, but can add up over time. Now let's see what Chat GPT has to say...
"Izze and Sparkling Ice are two different brands of beverages, each offering their own unique products:
Izze: Izze is a brand of sparkling fruit drinks made with fruit juice and sparkling water. Izze drinks are known for their natural ingredients and fruity taste. They typically contain a blend of fruit juices, carbonated water, and natural flavors. Izze beverages come in various flavors such as sparkling apple, sparkling blackberry, sparkling clementine, and more. They are marketed as a healthier alternative to traditional sodas, often with fewer artificial ingredients and lower sugar content.
Sparkling Ice: Sparkling Ice is a brand of flavored sparkling water. Unlike Izze, which contains fruit juice, Sparkling Ice beverages are flavored with natural and artificial flavors but do not typically contain fruit juice. They are zero-calorie and sugar-free, sweetened with sucralose and sometimes other artificial sweeteners. Sparkling Ice offers a wide range of flavors, including classics like lemon-lime and orange as well as more unique options like black raspberry, peach nectarine, and coconut pineapple. It's positioned as a refreshing and hydrating drink with a fizzy kick and a variety of flavors to choose from.
In summary, while both Izze and Sparkling Ice are carbonated beverages, Izze is a brand of sparkling fruit drinks made with fruit juice, whereas Sparkling Ice is a brand of flavored sparkling water without fruit juice, offering zero-calorie and sugar-free options."
Good analysis by the AI. The main difference is about the juice. Izze has it where Sparkling Ice is just flavored sparkling water. If you are fine taking in a small amount of calories and sugar then Izze would probably be the better pick for you. If on the other hand you really need to cut out any sort of calories or sugar from your diet, then Sparkling Ice is the way you want to go.
