- Hey YouTube world.
It's me, Evelyn.
Welcome to #SMACKYOLIP.
The series that I have here on the Internets,
where I taste and or prepare beverages
and or foodstuffs,
and share my thoughts on them.
Did ya ask for it? No.
Do ya need it?
I think you do if I do say so myself.
And I do,
say so
myself.
The saga continues in today's edition of #SMACKYOLIP.
I'm coming to you in the spirit of summertime, alright?
Times of refreshing, amen.
I'm coming to you in the spirit of hydration,
and quenched thirst, alright?
(air whooshing)
In this video I will be tasting for science!
I will be tasting the La Croix
Curate.
Cura, curate, curatay, cu, Curate.
The ones in the tall skinny cans.
The La Croix in the tall,
like this.
They come like this.
There are only six flavors
in this particular range of La Croix Sparkling Water.
And I recommend,
can I make a recommendation?
I recommend if you haven't watched my first La Croix video
where I taste all the original flavors
of the sparkling water
go 'head, do that, okay?
The link will be floating around in the atmosphere,
or in the video description box.
You know what I'm saying?
If YouTube is good for anything,
it'll be suggested on the side.
Can a sista get a suggestion
on the side?
Anyway, let's get this started.
But first,
a disclaimer.
(calm music)
(water trickles)
This is
Melon Pomelo.
Cantaloupe, pink grapefruit.
(fizzing)
Cantaloupe.
Who like cantaloupe?
Every time you get a fruit cup, what do you skip?
The cantaloupe.
You're like,
"Dang, y'all stingy with the strawberries.
"But you sure do have half a cantaloupe
in this fruit cup!"
Ugh!
(sips)
Mm!
I can't,
mm!
I don't know why looking at it
makes me think I'll understand it better.
It's ever so slight cantaloupe.
Okay?
It's like if someone threw a cantaloupe at you
missed,
alright?
So it's just (laughs)
whizzing by you.
Then you step into the cantaloupe's air trail.
That's what this is.
And the grapefruit
is what you mainly taste anyway.
And grapefruit sparkling water
is not bad.
I don't think I like it though
because the flavor switches up on you.
Have you seen those,
what was that book?
Remember when we were little
those books of like,
animorphs?
Where (laughs)
Where the person changes from a wolf
back to a teenage boy or whatever?
Like, a lizard.
This is like morphing flavors
in a way that I don't
all the way like.
It makes me slightly uncomfortable.
It's not
cataloupey enough
to make me want this instead of just
regular grapefruit sparkling water.
For that reason,
I'm gonna say
nah.
Alright!
Pineapple strawberry.
(fizzing)
This is doing something!
This not juice??
This is not juice.
Mm!
What does this taste like?
Okay.
It's giving me summer time in Texas, alight?
It's giving me agua fresca.
Minus the azúcar.
And I mean, yeah.
It tastes like someone sliced open a strawberry
held it in the air.
(laughs)
And like, you smelled it from across the room.
And yes, the pineapple that it's giving you
is if someone cored,
cored a pineapple?
Peeled a pineapple?
What do you do to a pineapple?
Somebody undid the pineapple
just took the outside
ran past you with it.
And you're like (sniffs)
It's delicate, okay?
It's just a delicate flavor.
These are all finna be good.
I'm finna drink this whole thing.
This is delicious.
All the thumbs up, alright?
Get this one.
Woo!
I'm so full of liquid.
Here we have cherry lime.
Now, cherry lime is the only one of these
La Croix Curate flavors that I've tried beforehand.
At my old job they used to get these.
These hit, you know what I'm saying?
As somebody (smacks lip)
who waited around for Sonic's Happy Hour
and get a Cherry Limeade
this is what,
it's water.
But it still hits me where I need to be hit, okay?
So.
(fizzing)
Woo!
Giving me popsicle.
It's giving you popsicle when someone's like,
"Which popsicle you want?" And you say "red".
That's the flavor this is.
It's flavor red.
Now let me tell you my life hack.
In the spirit of summertime,
like I had said,
get you this.
Get you some Simply lemonade.
A little bit of the Simply.
Rest of the cup is this.
Hits.
It'll make your Simply lemonade last longer.
'Cause I don't know if y'all ever been in a household
where a bottle of Simply lemonade lasts
two and half days and it's like,
"Who drank my Simply?
"Who?"
The cherry flavor on this is like
you know how you steal a cherry in the grocery store
because it's a lose fruit, you know what I'm saying?
So you just take one cherry out the bag.
You don't want the whole bag of cherries.
Who buys whole bags of cherries?
What do you need all them cherries for?
So you just take one little cherry,
you know what I'm saying?
You eat it
and then after you're done eating it
you're sucking on the seed.
That's what this is.
Here we have
blackberry cucumber.
Otherwise known as Mure Pepino.
(fizzing)
Mm, this smell like skincare.
It's giving me face serum.
It's giving me, you know,
Asian beauty guru.
That's what it's giving me.
It's giving me face mask, okay?
It's giving me,
"Hey YouTube World it's me Evelyn,
"welcome to my nighttime routine."
There's a flavor there that I recognize.
Papaya.
I hate papaya.
But for some reason
blackberry and cucumber together
is giving me a little papaya.
That's a no.
Here we have pomme baya.
Apple cranberry.
I feel like this one's gonna taste like Thanksgiving
which is not the spirit of summertime.
Ye, don't like that.
The apple is giving me preschool.
You know what I'm saying?
It's giving me apple juice and animal crackers.
This is just not my flavor combo
but it's definitely giving me Children's Motrin
with a little bit of like, October Glade Plug It In.
Mm, no.
I don't like it.
That's a thumbs down.
That is a thumbs down.
Hold up.
It's giving me Hobby Lobby.
Or like the air freshener in your church's bathroom.
And it's like, automatic air freshener in the corner
every 30 seconds, like psst.
And you're like,
and you almost cuss but you remember it's church.
It's giving you them wax melts, okay?
Stay at home moms from your kid's school.
Always be like,
"Hey, you want to join my wax melt business?"
And you're like,
"Karen, it's a pyramid scheme Karen.
"Don't do it. You're recruiting, Karen?
"You have to recruit, Karen?"
(laughing)
"Oh, really?"
I don't know why I'm still drinking it.
No!
And last,
but not least,
we have Kiwi Sandia.
Otherwise known as kiwi watermelon.
(fizzing)
Ooh!
(slurps)
Uh uh.
Let me tell y'all what they did.
They cut open a watermelon
but the watermelon they picked
wasn't too much ripe.
It was not ripe enough
but they cut it open,
wafted the air,
the atmosphere,
surrounding the watermelon
into a vat, if you will,
of sparkling water
and then put some kiwis in there
and that's how they made this.
So it's not that it tastes bad,
it's that they didn't pick the right watermelon.
Low key, I don't know how to pick the right watermelon too
I would have made the same mistake.
You try it and let me know.
Hashtag- Hashtag it #SMACKYOLIP
and let me know.
Alright.
In summation,
in conclusion,
in closing.
Cherry lime La Croix Curate,
yes!
Pineapple Strawberry, I'm a new fan.
Cantaloupe Pink Grapefruit could definitely do without.
If someone offers it to me I would not be offended though.
You know what I'm saying?
Kiwi watermelon.
Issa no.
Apple cranberry.
Just say no, Karen.
Blackberry cucumber.
Absolutely not.
My least favorite one.
Literally yes, even Karen's apple cranberry I could do.
This one is a absolutely not.
Thank you so much for watching
this edition of #SMACKYOLIP.
This series I do here.
On screen for you.
Where I taste and or prepare
beverages and or food stuffs
and share my thoughts on them.
I did what I had said I would do.
I delivered on the promise.
In the comments below
let me know if you've tried any of these flavors.
What you think of them.
No more static jokes.
It's tired, okay?
La Croix tastes like static,
we can dead that one.
We got it.
Be a little more creative with it,
you know what I'm saying?
If you're gonna give me, you know what I'm saying, a laugh.
Give me a good one.
And let me know
if you try
Simply Lemonade or Limeade with the cherry lime.
It hits.
Let me know.
Tell me I'm right.
Happy summer, and I will see you on the Internet somewhere.
Bye!
