That the drink called le Croix is not pronounced how you think it is. It is not Le-croy. It is in fact, Le-Cross. This coming from the man who invented it I'm pretty sure from Wisconsin. I'm guilty of calling it the first one as well.

Yea I just thought it was interesting that it's not pronounced the same way everyone thinks it is.

The pronoun people are doing their best to change the language, enforcing how the rest of us are allowed to speak. Did he pop a hip and strike a pose while telling you this tidbit of newspeak?

No it was a video on social media I saw. On tiktok I think. Look it up there to see the actual video. If you don't give a shite, then don't. I just found it interesting.

He was a lil confused after a 3-day coke bender. I bet he doesn't even know what a Baw is.

I found his confusion

Brett Favre has gone around telling people his last name is pronounced “Farve” for 40 years and no one bat an eyelash.

Now, I agree that saying La Croix is meant to be pronounced “La Cross” is egregious.

If you wanted it to be pronounced that way, spell it appropriately.

So? He may have come up with the drink but that doesn't mean he's an expert on pronunciation. And it's "kwah" not "croy." It is French for "cross." You are both wrong.

This is just one thing. What else did you learn and was it as equally worthless?

That is fascinating, but I, along the rest of the planet, will pronounce it Lacroy

You should’ve told his man that, although he is a great innovator, he needs to go back to school
