WHAT: Bubly Sparkling Water

STATS: One 12-ounce can contains zero calories and zero carbohydrate, sugar, fiber and protein grams. We bought it via Walmart.com delivery. More information at bubly.com.

THE SKINNY: Bubly sparkling water -- Pepsi's answer to LaCroix and Coca-Cola's Dasani Sparkling -- has made a bubbly debut with a splashy advertising blitz.

Available in eight flavors -- Lime, Grapefruit, Strawberry, Lemon, Orange, Apple, Mango and Cherry -- calorie-free Bubly contains neither sugar nor artificial sweeteners and flavors. The clear beverage comes in colorful 12-ounce cans (sold in packs of eight) with cutesy greetings on its tabs like "hiii" and "yo"; it also comes in 20-ounce bottles.

While the Strawberry and Apple flavors we sampled were refreshing, to us, they tasted similar to other brands.

When it comes to sparkling water, we will continue to buy water-ever brand is on sale.
