Like LaCroix? http://www.lacroixwater.com/flavors/

They sold it all over the place in Chicago when I lived there.

That stuff is everywhere (in grocery stores) in the US. My local safeway carries several "flavors" (which are more like an essence or hint of flavor): raspberry, lemon, etc.

If you're in a rich area in the US, look for Spindrift soda -- the brand started out in Boston, but has spread to other upper-class milieus since then. There's also La Croix, as mentioned by another poster here -- it's artificially flavored, I think, but still pretty good and definitely low on sugar. (Spindrifts are made with fruit and soda water; they're not low-sugar or sugar-free, but they haven't been sweetened out the wazoo like Coca-Cola.)

There is? I can go to the store and get about twelve different flavors of seltzer water.

I always find it in stores, just in the water section instead of the soda section. That said, I never see it in gas stations and the like.

seltzer water (i like Polar) is this. It's an enormous market in the US.
