Don't think they do - however I think H2O do a still one, not so many flavours though. Haven't tried it so dunno if it's any good. It's (all) only about 60p or something so well worth trying and not so expensive you'd blench if you had to pour it down the sink.
It's more 'slightly aerated' than dead fizzy. But in any case, there's a very quick way of curing it being fizzy. Even in the fridge, but don't open the seal on the bottle till you're ready to start drinking it. Just pour it into an open jug and leave it. Then when the fizz has died, pour it back in the bottle! - I do it all the time with orange Lucozade for hypos - far too fizzy when I'm hypo, hurts my throat.

Thanks for that brilliant turn of phrase TW. Genuinely made me LOL and I will now have to adopt it for future use.
Pass the sugar free squash!

Carol drinks those too!!!
I usually buy "apple & raspberry" and "lemon&lime" for her. Unfortunately they stopped selling the orange one. I like most flavours, not sure about the peach one though.

I like Tescos flavoured mineral waters as well.
LiDL recently introduced six-packs (500ml bottles) of their own-brand flavoured mineral water (Carrick Glen, the flavours I saw were lemon & lime, apple & blackcurrant and strawberry & kiwi -- I don't know if there are any others). After checking the labels (ridiculously microscopic print, I swear it was only about 2pt type) to make sure they were no-added-sugar, I decided to treat myself to one pack of each. Big mistake; despite ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 grams carbohydrate per 100ml, they turned out to be far, far too sweet to my taste. I've given the remaining 15 bottles to William; he's been smoking for years, so it's a wonder he can still taste anything at all.
