I been buying a few bottles at a time for my diabetic husband at a local store and it's not bad but I still taste the artificial sweetener in it that I don't care for. The sweetener is not extreme but it's still there. He likes it and that's all that matters.

Have you tried Joyburst ? It is tasty, and it's on HSN.

I have purchased from QVC and I have purchased from the local grocery store.

I prefer the flavor cucumber watermelon and my husband likes the blackberry lemonade.

There are other beverages that are low in calories such as Hint water. I have seen them on QVC and at the grocery store as well.

There is another that I have only seen at the grocery store called Lemon Perfect.

A tad of sugar is ok. I think these have 2 grams that will make it taste better, too.

When you have given up candy bars, cakes, pies, fudge, etc. You can afford to allow a tad of sugar.

I'm determined to not to become a diabetic.  I knew a gal who was diabetic and ate donots from Krispy kreme and just doubled up on her medicine. She may have been on the shots, not sure. Praise God I'm more disciplined then that and eating sugar is not worth what it will cost U in the long run.

I've tried some zero sugar juices (mango passion) they were great, but, then they go flat so fast. I'm in search of something that will hold it's taste.

I orderit all the time.  Believe I've tried all flavors.  Just ordered the Blueberry today on autoship.

If you like peaches @SharkE , I'm sure you'll enjoy the Roar.

I found it 'picks me up' when that afternoon slump comes around.  Also when I came down with covid, I must've drank a full bottle a day (usually I onlyhave half).  I swear that Blackberry Roar got me through that ordeal.

Nearby grocery  stores don't carry it.  Whenever I checked amazon, I've found less choice and higher cost.

Hope you enjoy @SharkE !

They always tout how natural and free of sweeteners the drinks are, but they contain both erythritol and stevia derivatives, so for me and many people I know, they cause more digestive issues than they're worth (erythritol) and have an unpleasant aftertaste (stevia). But I also know plenty of people who love Roar, so I think it will vary from person to person whether these drinks are enjoyable.

Have been drinking Roar since Q first presented it.

Mango Clementine is our fav and pretty much stick to it.

We get it at Wegman's now for less.

No one in my family has EVER had digestive issues with it at all.

Every body is different....with different tolerances and preferences to sugar substitutes.

I am always have been a sugar free or a low calorie sweetener user since I was around age 16.

What I absolutely won't use is ERYTHRITOL.  This low calorie sweetener has known to cause heart attacks and blood clots in some individuals. It also causes acid reflux and dehydration.  It is a natural alcohol sweetener that can cause stomach upset and diarrhea.

Sometimes it is mixed with Stevia...check the ingredients.  They do sell Stevia without erythritol.  I have had to throw away almost full boxes because I assumed and didn't read the ingredients and picked up the wrong box.

I probably doesn't hurt most people to use this sweetner once in a while, but caution should be used.

Yes, i have purchased Roar. I like the Strawberry Lemonade and Mango Clementine flavors the most. I do not purchase it from qvc. It is less expensive in our local grocery store. Purchase it by the case.

I bought it when it was the TSV in January.  I got the Georgia peach and Dragon fruit.  I have not checked all of our local grocery stores.  I like both but only have a bottle or two a week.  I even mixed it with half roar/half water.  The TSV was much cheaper than Walmart, and delivered to my door.
