I just opened my first can and had to take a break from working to write this- it's so good! I've never been a big soda drinker but I still want something a little more than sparkling water sometimes and without caffeine. I've tried Poppi and Olipop plenty of times and tried so hard to like them but I can't get over the Stevia aftertaste. This is just as healthy as either of those (or similar) options but tastes much better while still without adding extra sugar. I'm drinking Strawberry Rhubarb right now but I also bought Wild Berries & Lime which I can't wait to try. I'll definitely be buying these regularly!!

I was afraid this would be like Poppi or Olipop which I don’t really like, but this has no weird sweeteners and is really refreshing and delicious. I tried the strawberry rhubarb flavor and it is perfectly balanced with sweet and tart notes. Can is also cute!

The packaging and the brand aesthetic is good and comparable to their competitors. That being said, the flavors are not as strong, this was closer to a seltzer than a soda. Though I didnt expect anything too sweet, these only seem to have a hint of flavor if any and have not sweetness. For a soda, I prefer something with a bit more kick but I can see the appeal for these. Not bad but not great.

I really like the taste of culture pop! Have tried almost all of the recent brand launches in seltzer and soda and culture pop makes the list :) Appreciate their more unusual flavor categories, fun packaging, and availability in many NYC bodegas and grocery stores.

We saw these in a store and were so intrigued by the flavors that we decided to order a couple packs online to have in the house for when we have people over (it's important to us to always have several nonalcoholic options). We got the grapefruit + ginger + juniper flavor and the orange mango + chili + lime flavor. Honestly, the flavors are a little disappointing. All I could really get from each flavor was the main fruit, while the interesting flavor accents were the reason I bought these in the first place! I think there are probably other options with more discernible interesting flavors out there.

Make the accent flavors more prominent!

As an avid drinker of "healthier" soda and fun nonalcoholic drinks, Culture Pop is by far one of my favorites. It's so refreshing and yummy, and I love the variety of unique flavors. I really appreciate how not overly sweet it is, since a lot of soda alternatives have a ton of stevia/monkfruit/etc, and I tend to dislike alternative sweeteners. A super fun drink for when you want something more flavorful than seltzer but less sweet than soda! Also: the cans are super cute and they don't require refrigeration!

Really delicious. I’ve tried the orange mango & ginger lemon flavors and loved both. Very fresh and vibrant tasting and super refreshing! Love the added bonus of probiotics.

The perfect fizzy drink to pair with lunch. I'm a fan of the ginger lemon & turmeric flavor! Feels good to know that it's made with organic spices, fruit juices, and live probiotics 😊

I love the orange mango and watermelon flavors. The packaging is super cute—the colors are vibrant and the graphics are eye-catching. They are not as sweet as typical sodas and none have caffeine. They taste like a spindrift but with more complex flavor. They also make a good mix-in for cocktails.

There is no better product in flavored seltzer/water category. Yes, there is some added sugar, but a relatively small amount that provides flavor that makes it worth the sugar normal seltzer doesn’t have. Plus if has probiotics. Tumeric Ginger is my favorite!

Literally the best probiotic drink out there. I love that there is no stevia, which a lot of other drinks like this have-- it's just fruit juice and tastes like it too. So good!

I have to say, I think Culture Pop is my favorite probiotic soda on the market at the moment. In particular, the "orange mango" flavor. My friend who works at a large tech company brought a free can from her job when she visited me. Now, anytime I see it while at the store or picking up take-out, I have to grab a can. It's just yummy in a natural, almost juice-like way. There is apple cider vinegar and a healthy dose of carbonation in it, so you might burp!

SO YUMMY. Flavors are complex and delicious. They're good normally and also as a mixer with vodka or gin.

I love this beverage. Discovered it at Whole Foods and am addicted. Light, refreshing and actually tastes natural. I buy a few 4 packs every week.

I don't drink soda, so I usually default to kombucha. These are a perfect in-between AND the flavors are awesome and interesting. I like the spicy mango and basil lime the best!

Nothing!

I tried the watermelon one. I like that it was not overly sweet but there was not enough fizz. The hint of herbs was nice after taste.

Culture Pop soda (favorite is their Wild Berries Basil & Lime) is the only canned soda I will buy. Have searched through the competing offerings, none can match Culture Pop for its terrific flavor profiles, ultra low, non-synthetic non-intensive sweet level, and spot on carbonation. This stuff just tastes great! The spice/herb-y piece adds A LOT. This is a much needed product. It’s a happy. Five spangles.

Complex- delicious… more flavor than I would have expected with 40 calories. Love that there’s no sweetener!
