Maybe you're a huge fan of fizzy water and are always game to try something new.

Maybe you're trying to kick soda but don't find that 0 cal/0 sugar seltzers are scratching that itch.

Maybe you hate sparkling water, but want to love it. 

Maybe you're related to me (hi, mom!).

No matter what brings you to the Balloon store, I'm so grateful you're here.

I moved from Boston to Toronto in 2018, and realized I couldn't find a lot of the seltzer flavors and brands I loved in the States.

I wound up begging friends to bring me fizz when they visited, or paying to check my suitcase and lugging 60 pounds of cans back with me.

Not a super sustainable approach for my back (or my wallet).

When I was pregnant with both my kids, I was hyper aware of how few options there are for non-drinkers at networking events, bars and parties.

Aside from booze, you have:

– The juice used to mix with booze (so sugary)

– Club soda (meh)

– Water (ugh)

I wanted something bubbly but non-alcoholic, that didn't come with a sugar crash, but also didn't use alternative sweeteners, that tasted like fruit but didn't have juice. 

So I set out to create all-natural sparkling water with just a few grams of real sugar that I'd be excited to share with friends and family, and drink at social events, featuring flavours that I couldn't find at the grocery store.

Building Balloon from scratch has truly been a journey and a labour of love - I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
