OLIPOP earns mostly positive reviews for delivering a convincing, lower‑sugar soda experience with gut‑friendly prebiotics and 9g fiber per can; many say it curbs soda cravings and specific flavors like Vintage Cola, Classic Root Beer, Strawberry Vanilla, Classic Grape, Ginger Lemon, Orange Squeeze, and Cream Soda stand out. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some flavors taste overly sweet or artificial with stevia aftertaste, carbonation can feel flat, effects on digestion vary (from helpful regularity to bloating), and flavor hit‑or‑miss consistency means not every “soda‑dupe” lands.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Soda is on the shortlist of dental nightmares, but that doesn’t really dissuade anyone from popping tabs. I swore off the fizz when my dentist told me that my teeth are more cavity prone than your average bear, but I still loved things like kombucha and Dr. Pepper. I saw OLIPOP in stores, and as someone with chronic tummy troubles, was intrigued by the prebiotic claim. Although skeptical, I picked up the Orange Squeeze flavor and oh my stars. It’s definitely not a Fanta dupe, but the flavor is solid, with none of the tooth-rotting sugary sweetness or artificial aftertaste. I was even more surprised to find that my stomach wouldn’t churn acid after drinking one! I can happily indulge in an OLIPOP every now and then, knowing it’s acid reflux/IBS/tooth friendly (at least, friendlier). The plant fiber is also a huge plus, but doesn’t send you sprinting for the bathroom. The Strawberry Vanilla flavor is also a banger, and definitely something I’ll bring poolside on hot summer days or spring picnics.
The flavors I tried (root beer) hit the sweet-soda nostalgia, but with a noticeable “lighter” feeling on the palate — less syrupy heaviness, more crisp finish. The promise of prebiotics and low sugar is real — as someone avoiding high-sugar sodas I appreciated the moderate sweetness and fiber benefit. That said, it still has calories and sweetener, so it’s not a free pass. Clean design, fun colour palette, “better-for-you” positioning without being preachy. Caveats: Because it leans healthier, the carbonation and flavour intensity aren’t quite the punch of a full-sugar soda — if you’re used to full-blast cola, you’ll notice. Verdict: If you’re craving soda but want a smarter choice, OLIPOP delivers a strong alternative. Great for wellness-minded but fun-loving drinkers.

Cute brand, and I can see why a lot of people like it, but their flavors are a bit too sweet for me personally. Some flavors make me feel like I'm drinking an actual lollipop candy, and I get a sugar headache.
Feedback
Some of the flavors are too sweet. Love the branding. Would like to see lower sugar options.
So good! A treat at this price point, but delicious drinks.
IRL I swear I am one of Olipop’s biggest hype girls 🤣 I have gotten so many people to try them. The flavors are INCREDIBLE, I don’t normally drink sodas and I love these. Sweet but not too sweet, fizzy, and tons of flavor options. My favorite is cherry vanilla and tropical punch.

Create an Olipop float with vanilla ice cream and the soda of your choice— SO GOOD
Tried the vintage cola, but didn't enjoy it at all and poured out the rest. Love the branding though!
I really like Olipop overall! Some flavors are too fake sweet for me but I really LOOOOOOVE the Root Beer and the Ginger Lemon.

At first the flavor is great, but the aftertaste is a fake sugar, which I don't like. Ultimately I wouldn't buy this for that reason but if you don't mind diet sugar flavors, it's a great option.
This is solely for the Minion Banana flavor... The can was super cute and the drink itself is pretty tasty! However, the flavor was a bit artificial and I just can't get through an entire can of this stuff. Great idea, though, and would be fun for a minion fan!
I loved Olipop. It's the best thing that I have tried in so long!! All of my friends are sick of me talking about it being better than pop. It's refreshing and has a great flavor, and also is not too fizzy.

Olipop is pretty good! I tried the Root Beer flavor and it definitely satisfied the craving for a sweet soda.
Feedback
I prefer a little more carbonation and think that would definitely make a difference!
Although the branding is exceptional, the product missed the mark for me. I was expecting a very fizzy drink (think sparkling water) but in reality, IMO, it gives the same type of experience as drinking a flat soda. I can definitely see how if you love soda and you are trying to make the switch to a healthier alternative why this product would appeal/ work for you. However, as someone without a soda problem I’m probably not the target consumer for this product. I will say the lemon ginger was my favorite flavor and if you added some vodka it became a very lovely mixed drink 😀.

More bubbles!

I have bought Olipop from Whole Foods and a local bodega in NYC about 10 times and have really loved every time (Tried both the Strawberry and Orange flavors). I am not a soda drinker at all- not even for mixed drinks. But I do love Kombucha and really try to get probiotics/prebiotics in my diet everyday- love that these have unique tastes that are authentic and true to the descriptions and super low sugar. Feels like a special treat- but it ACTUALLY good for you. I recommend to all my friends!
Feedback
The locations I have purchased these from have never had all the flavors and I have not come across a large case of them in NYC- however I have loved them so much I am definitely going to buy in bulk moving forward!
Our household really enjoys olipop. Some flavors are better than others but it’s a great alternative to regular soda. I do wish there was an energy/caffeine component to them because that’s the primary reason I drink soda. You can also find deals on the price of them now which is great.
I was intrigued with the marketing about health benefits and the interesting flavors, but as someone sensitive to stevia, it was just not for me. Would be a great soda alternative for anyone who does not have the sensitivity. I tried both the cherry vanilla and crisp apple flavors.
Guess I’m too used to regular diet pop as this to me taste like sparkling flavored water, not even close to replacing my regular drinks. Innovative and popular though.

The orange flavor wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated. The root beer honestly tasted very good and scratched my soda itch, but had a funny aftertaste that I wasn't a huge fan of. .Would rec for anyone with a big soda craving to help satisfy it in a less sugar heavy way.
I just discovered my new favorite treat: OLIPOP Vintage Cola, and I've got to share the love. 🍒🥤 It's like a trip down memory lane with each sip – all the cola nostalgia without any of the guilt! This bubbly delight is not only delicious but also packed with plant fiber and prebiotics. Who knew feeling good could taste this amazing? 🙌 So next time you're craving something fizzy, skip the sugary stuff and join me in sipping on this refreshing twist to classic cola! Cheers to sweet sips and happy vibes! 💖

Surprisingly good! The high fiber does sneak up on you, but I enjoyed the flavor and it really helped post surgery recovery.
Taste is good, but bothers my stomach so not for me
