Isn't diet soda consumption also declining in favor of seltzer water (i.e. La Croix?). I thought the reason why La Croix has exploded over the past 2 years or so is because canned carbonated water is the best no calorie/no artificial sweetened alternative to soda.

Probably unrelated, but I spent 2 weeks in US early December and had trouble finding a tasty sparkling water (most tasted awful) until I randomly found LaCroix and really liked it.
At home I’m using a soda stream machine to sparkle my water (mostly tap water), and I found in LaCroix the equivalent of what I drink mostly.
So I think if it exploded as you say, the taste is involved.
My 2 cents.
