Tag: Topo chico vs perrier

Since 1895, Topo Chico has been sourced and bottled in Monterrey, Mexico, building a cult following for its intense carbonation and distinct mineral flavor. This history, however, doesn't tell the full story of whether is Topo Chico a good brand of mineral water for today's consumers, especially given modern health concerns and changing consumer preferences.

According to Consumer Reports' taste tests, many experienced tasters agree that Topo Chico has a more aggressive and concentrated carbonation compared to its rivals, but are the bubbles actually bigger? While some describe Topo Chico's bubbles as feeling like larger, more intense pinpricks on the tongue, the sensation is likely due to a combination of high carbonation level and its unique mineral content, not necessarily larger individual bubbles.
