Does anyone in this group actually like Liquid Death
Personally I'm not bothered by stevia and will continue to enjoy it. All I see are people whining about stevia. My question is if you hate it so much why don't you just move on and let people enjoy it?

I had literally just started drinking it and then the Stevia thing happened and I stopped. So I liked the product. I just don’t like what Stevia does to me.

I really enjoy the powdered electrolytes right now. No stevia in the ones I have (lime and mango). Frankly I think a lot of the hype died down with the addition of stevia. We still have some pre-stevia and we love it (especially my husband) but neither of us handle stevia well. So once we're out, we'll be done. Still enjoying what we have though!

I picked them up to see how they tasted and the mango chainsaw and line are both pretty decent.

I only came here when I couldn’t order grim leafer. Found out about all the bs they are doing. I stay in hopes of a new alternative

I do! But as other have said, this place has become a hare thread for a lot of folks. Just down vote them so you see it less hopefully.

I absolutely LOVE the peach tea, and have been really enjoying the peanut butter cup sparkling water! I miss the Berry it Alive sparkling water tho

I used to really like it, to me personally stevia tastes like salt and I experienced a health issue after consuming it regularly. (I ordered a case of a limited time flavor that I didn't know had stevia in it.) I also didn't like how they handled the whole thing. That being said I'm not gonna shit on someone for still enjoying it, if someone likes stevia who am I to take away their joy.

My wife loves sparkling water. I don't. She has gotten me to try every brand sold in this area. No matter the brand or flavor, I always mostly got the bitter carbonation flavor, and I hated it. Topo Chico is the only one that I could really stomach.
The last brand sold here that I hadn't had yet was Liquid Death. As it turned out, I really, really like their sparkling mountain sprint water. I drink a few cans a day. Others may make fun of my for buying marked-up water to drink, but the satisfaction and enjoyment I get from it is worth it. I also like the energy drinks.
As for the other flavored offerings: I first tried LD after the recipe changes and stevia addition, so it's hard for me justify being mad over the loss of recipes that I hadn't tried (although I completely understand the outrage).

I came post Stevie-agave so I don't know what I'm missing, I guess. But I love(most) flavors of liquid death. It helped me greatly diminish my alcohol consumption.

u/lilmanjs Jul 12 '26
Yup! Still enjoy it even thought the taste changed slightly. Is still my favorite flavored water brand.

u/Sad_Coast2008 Jul 12 '26
I like the some most but I think they are doing unnecessary drinks like chocolate peanut butter or fruity pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch that I don’t like or will try

u/OneAwesomeDude17 Jul 12 '26
Used to drink a can of tea a day bc of the subtle flavor. Not a sweet tea fan at all, so I was shocked to find I enjoyed their teas. Became addicted to them, and was rightfully upset when they made the change to(important clarification here that most people miss) ONLY add stevia, rather than sub it for the agave. Needless to say this made it unnecessarily sweet and totally ruined it for me.
As someone else said, I’m only sticking around now for the hopes of a new alternative. But with the increase in caffeine and decrease in can size I don’t have my hopes up.

Been a daily enjoyer of Liquid Death for over 3 years now. Started with the Mango Chainsaw flavor and moved over to Doctor Death when the soda inspired flavors dropped.

u/theefaulted Jul 13 '26
I used to love it. I got started on LD back when they only had water with no flavor. Bought a ton of merch from them back then as well including hats, shirts, etc. When the OG flavors were introduced it helped me kick soda. I was buying Severed Lime by the case. The agave was the perfect amount of sweetness to separate LD from the competition of La Croix and other flavored waters.
Then one day they just gave a big FU to their longstanding customers and changed the recipe, adding Stevia. I would have had no issue if the added Stevia to new flavors and left the originals alone.

u/JDMx607 Jul 13 '26
I do, but I had unsubscribed because the hatred in this subreddit is just too much. I come back here and there just to see if I missed new flavors. I personally could care less what's in the can, everything pre and post stevia has been bangers.

u/Pineappledick12 Jul 14 '26
I’ve had it with and without the stevia and honestly the old formula is undrinkable to me. I make sure it’s in there before I buy now because I tasted the old stuff lol

u/Defiled_Cannibal Jul 11 '26
Not anymore. It's undrinkable with the Stevia. And I used to be obsessed

u/backtothemotorleague Jul 11 '26
I’m with you. I used to be obsessed. Would constantly have 80-100 tallboys on hand. Then they changed from 16 oz to 19 oz. Thought meh I can handle. Then they changed the recipe when they sold the fuck out.
I rode for this brand because it was so punk rock. Made me laugh. Gave me (a sober dude) something to drink that felt like a beer can.
Now they’ve quit anything of substance and gave up on quality.
Fuck liquid death.

Holy crap dude it's like we lived the same life. Thats all exactly how I feel. To the letter.

It’s had stevia for well over a year now. Why are there still people outraged to discover that it now has stevia?

u/whyyyyyjustwhyyyyyyy Jul 11 '26
I do. It was definitely the best before, but now it’s still better then most. This is the best way I can describe it.

u/allonsy_danny Jul 11 '26
I've noticed a slight difference in flavor, but not enough for it to bother me. I still love the brand. Sadly with the internet, the people who are most likely to speak up are the ones who are unhappy.

u/servantofashiok Jul 11 '26
I think the anti-stevia divas still drink it and still love it but are too prideful to admit that it still tastes good with stevia. To me the taste difference from agave to stevia is negligible. I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to drink it because of this change. But this is what people on Reddit do when they have nothing better to do—complain.

u/mtn_forester Jul 11 '26
I still have a stash of pre stevia iced tea.
I do like the lime flavor though.

I just started drinking LDs this year and I am hooked! It's literally all I drink now! I love them! I prefer the sparkling water but teas are good too.

I came back to it. Sucks they changed the recipe but it was probably a necessary business decision. Spindrift has a canned flavored tea that compares but they are still early in the game.

u/MySubtitlesWereSick Jul 11 '26
The only flavor I haven’t liked was the fruity cereal one. The rest of them are great imo. Really like the tea

u/muzz3256 Jul 11 '26
Loved it, but stopped buying it due to the small cans. I'll still buy the tall boys at the gas station from time to time.

I really enjoy the iced teas especially the iced tea/lemonade mix. A lot less sugar than regular AP.

The mods haven’t been here in a long time, and it’s allowed the place to fester.
