Flavorless or Mango: How to Pick Your PoolSide Pouch
Two pouches, one decision. Flavorless is the chameleon that turns the drink you already love into a 10mg sip without changing its taste. Mango is the destination, a flavor you add on purpose. Here is how to pick in about a minute.
Looking for a PoolSide seltzer?
A lot of people land here searching for a PoolSide seltzer, so let's clear that up first: we skipped the can. There is no PoolSide seltzer in a fridge somewhere, because a canned seltzer would lock you into one flavor, one fizz level, and a ten-pound shipping box. What we make instead is the part that matters, the 10mg, sealed in a pouch you pour into any drink.
Which means the PoolSide seltzer does exist, technically. It is whatever sparkling water you already have, plus one pouch. You build it, in the flavor you actually wanted, and the full explanation of how that works lives in our THC drink mix guide. The only real decision is which pouch: Flavorless or Mango.
What is identical between them
Everything except the flavor. Both pouches carry 10mg of hemp-derived delta-9 THC, both are zero sugar, zero calories, and zero alcohol, both use the same water-soluble formulation that mixes clear and holds an even dose, both cost $5.95, and both are third-party tested with published COAs. Dosing rules are identical too, and our 10mg dosing guide applies to either one. You are choosing a flavor philosophy, nothing else.
The case for Flavorless
The Flavorless pouch is built on a simple bet: you already know what you like to drink. Iced tea, lemonade, cola, sparkling water, juice, a mocktail you are proud of. Flavorless turns any of them into the boosted version of themselves, with nothing added to the taste.
It is the right default if you drink a rotation rather than a signature, if you make recipe drinks like the THC Arnold Palmer where the balance is the point, or if you want your drink to stay incognito at a barbecue. When people ask which one to start with, this is the answer, because it can never clash with anything.
The case for Mango
The Mango pouch is for the opposite mood: you want the drink itself to feel like an event. It brings a tropical flavor with it, which turns plain still or sparkling water into a mango drink, lemonade into a Mango Lemonade Splash, and iced tea into the Tropical Mango Tea from the PoolSide menu.
Pick Mango if your baseline drink is usually just water and you want the pouch to do the flavor work, or if tropical is simply your lane. The one thing to know is that it does not pretend to be invisible: pour it into a cola and you have invented mango cola, which is either a crime or a discovery depending on the person.
The one-minute decision
The whole flowchart compresses to one question: should the drink taste different after the pour? If no, Flavorless. If yes, and tropical sounds right, Mango. If you hesitated anywhere in that sentence, Flavorless, because it works in everything and you can graduate to Mango next order.
Side by side
| Flavorless | Mango | |
|---|---|---|
| THC | 10mg hemp-derived delta-9 | 10mg hemp-derived delta-9 |
| Changes the taste | No | Yes, tropical |
| Best base drinks | Anything cold you already like | Water, lemonade, iced tea, juice |
| Personality | Invisible upgrade | Instant vacation |
| Start here if | You are new, or picky, or both | Tropical is always the answer |
Match the pouch to the occasion
If the flowchart feels too tidy, pick by the day instead. The weeknight unwind is Flavorless in whatever is already in the fridge, sparkling water, iced tea, the last of the lemonade, because after a long Tuesday nobody wants a project. The pool or beach day is Mango's whole reason for existing: plain water goes in the cooler, vacation comes out.
Hosting leans Flavorless, since guests bring their own taste and an invisible pouch respects it, with the Arnold Palmer as the house pour. The gym bag and the golf bag lean Mango, where a bottle of water is guaranteed but flavor is not. And cozy season belongs to Flavorless again, stirred into warm cider the careful way our fall recipe lays out.
Or refuse to choose
The honest ending: most repeat customers run both. Flavorless handles the everyday rotation and the recipes, Mango handles the days that need to feel like a beach. Pouches keep at room temperature, so a drawer with a stack of each is a complete home bar for the price of a nice cocktail.
Pouch picking FAQ
Does Flavorless really taste like nothing?
It is built to stay neutral. In flavored drinks it disappears. In a glass of plain still water, the most exposed setting there is, it stays clean and unobtrusive.
Is Mango sweet?
It brings tropical flavor without bringing sugar, since every pouch is zero sugar and zero calories. The sweetness of the final drink comes from whatever you pour it into.
Is one stronger than the other?
No. Both are exactly 10mg per pouch, lab verified. Flavor and strength are separate dials, and only the flavor dial changes here.
Which one for making my own seltzer?
Either, and this is the fun part. Flavorless plus a flavored sparkling water keeps that flavor. Mango plus plain sparkling water builds a mango seltzer from scratch.
Pick your pouch, or both
Same 10mg, same zero sugar, zero calories, zero alcohol. The only question is whether the flavor comes from your drink or from the pouch.
