Reviews mention

  • Convincing nostalgic flavors
  • Lower sugar formulation
  • Gut‑friendly prebiotic blend
  • Attractive, nostalgic branding
  • Occasional stevia aftertaste
  • Inconsistent flavor execution
  • Sometimes low carbonation
  • Potential bloating for some

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.

  • I grew to like these after a while and find them to be a decent substitute for soft drinks. Orange Squeeze is probably the best flavor (in my opinion) that doesn't have as strong of an aftertaste; Vintage Cola, Tropical Punch, and Cream Soda are also worth trying. A friend of mine didn't like these drinks because she felt the sweetness was too artificial - if you don't like the flavor of stevia then you may not care for these drinks. Another thing to note is that (in my experience), these drinks lose their carbonation/bubbles pretty fast, so its best to consume quickly and when cold.

  • Tried the cherry vanilla and root beer flavors and couldn’t finish them the taste was awful. No one in our family or our friends liked the flavor. They’re pretty pricey too so it was a bummer. The idea of a probiotic drink is cool but those probiotics won’t work if you can’t get the drink down!

  • Flavors are amazing and can find them now at most retailers and grocery stores!

  • Strong flavours, great drink on the go or during a lunch. I would recommend

  • I tried the product because I liked the idea of sparkling drinks with prebiotics, but depending on the flavor, there is an aftertaste to it that is not very pleasant. For me the best version is the orange squeeze and the vintage cola was a 'no' for me.

  • As someone with a very sensitive stomach, with multiple allergies and sensitivities, I was hesitant to try these. My partner loves them and he says it supports his digestion, he has at least one can a day and likes the strawberry and cream flavor best. I found that all of them just tasted a little…funny. The strawberries and cream didn’t taste like strawberries to me, and similar with other flavors. I did not find it harsh on my stomach though.

  • A bit of a funky aftertaste, but once you get used to it, these are great. Strawberry vanilla and root beer are my two favorite flavors so far!

  • I'm not really a fan of carbonated beverages, but if you are you will likely enjoy these. They have a variety of flavors which makes it easy to find something you like. I tried the strawberry vanilla and it was fine (again, coming from someone who does not like carbonated drinks). I did notice I didn't have a bad digestive reaction which proves to me that these definitely are helpful for those who have digestive issues or want a good option for prebiotics!

  • As an avid soda drinker this is an excellent healthier alternative. I love all of the flavors. There is a flavor for everyone. I love the root beer and the grape. The watermelon lime reminds reminds me of a carbonated agua Fresca. Definitely try these out!

  • Just no. I appreciate the brand’s efforts to offer a healthier alternative to soda. After trying three different flavors (root beer, strawberry vanilla, and lemon lime), I wasn’t willing to try any more. These just don’t taste good. At all. For reference, I am a supertaster and do have difficulty with bitter flavors and ferments. It may be that the prebiotics in these tasted off to me, but the prebiotic content didn’t seem that high. I’m happy to see these worked out for some folks. Y’all can have mine! :)

  • I quit drinking pop over 3 years ago and while I don’t crave it anymore, I still enjoy a good carbonated drink. OLIPOP has been the only brand I have found that has been able to satisfy this craving. My first instinct was that it wasn’t going to have much flavor, I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted it for the first time. Overall I recommend this product to anyone who is wanting to give it a try! My favorite so far has been the strawberry vanilla or the root beer, I have found those two to have the most flavor! The product is slightly pricy, but for a good drink I am willing to pay it.

  • As someone who is mostly sober and doesn’t drink soda, I love love love olipop as an alternative drink. It’s healthier than regular soda and surprisingly flavorful/sweet.

  • it was good but has a sort of artificial taste that i don’t love

  • I adore the Strawberry Vanilla Olipop. The branding is cute, and the drink is delightful.

  • I have tried just about every flavor and they are all delicious. Such a great option if you want a soda with less sugar.

  • We don’t drink soda any more in our house and this is a GREAT alternative!!! The root beer actually taste like a root beer soda but without all the junk and great for the gut! My kids and spouse love these too!

  • Olipop lemon lime flavor is a great alternative for those who are interested in reducing soda intake. I didn’t notice any clear differences in gut health but the drink is flavorful
