* No, YOU shut up. Swedish Fish flavored water ice is like the best flavored water ice (cherry), only made 10% sweeter and more awesome. See? You can’t argue with math. ^
† Personally, I am horrified by the idea of frozen chocolate water, but I was loudly voted down by everyone else in the office voting on this list. Still, seriously? It’s cold, wet chocolate, people? What’s the attraction?
‡ This should just be called “Blue” because that’s what it tastes like. The color blue. Plus diabetes. But whatever. ^
§ Because that’s how bad an orange water ice is. Mango alone? 3rd best flavor. Add some orange and BOOM. Drop 14 places. ^
‖ Tropical Punch is the point on the list where you have to have some kind of serious childhood attachment to even consider ordering any of these lesser flavors. ^
¶ I voted for this to be somewhat higher, but that’s because I have children and if you add vodka to this one, it is not at all bad. Sickeningly sweet, sure, but what the hell. When you’re pouring liquor on your children’s leftovers, you’re past the point of being picky. ^
†† Narrowly beating out “Old, Leathery Pear” as flavor of the month. ^
‡‡ At this point, the rankings go Awful, Worse, If You Order This You Are Just A Bad Person and WTF? ^
