How it differs from similar foods

The carbonation provides a distinct mouthfeel and effervescence that sets it apart from still water. The tangerine flavor is subtle and refreshing, not overly sweet or artificial.
How to keep the rest
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate any remaining beverage and consume within a day or two for optimal freshness and carbonation. Avoid storing opened cans at room temperature, as this can cause the carbonation to dissipate quickly.
