  • Nostalgic, flavorful profiles
  • Refreshing, lighter mouthfeel

  • Broad, adventurous assortment
  • Occasional stevia aftertaste
  • Inconsistent carbonation fizz
  • Some flavors taste medicinal
  • Sweetness can be cloying

OLIPOP wins over many soda drinkers in reviews with nostalgic flavors like Vintage Cola, Classic Root Beer, Classic Grape, Strawberry Vanilla, Ginger Lemon, and Orange Squeeze that curb cravings while feeling lighter and “gut-friendly.” Reviews also flag weaknesses: several flavors read overly sweet with a noticeable stevia/artificial aftertaste, occasional low carbonation/flat cans, and hit‑or‑miss accuracy compared to legacy sodas—some love them, others find them medicinal or dull.

  • These taste way better than similar competitors. I’m not someone who otherwise drinks soda, but it’s fun to have a sweet soda option that doesn’t make me feel disgusting. How a clear bubbly liquid has fiber is beyond me but presuming that’s for real, that’s a cool bonus. The pricing makes it tough to enjoy these regularly at $2.50 a pop. Couple ideas: Sell them in bigger packs than 4 to offer more of a discount? Or even better, to cut down environmental impact, sell a concentrate that can be added to soda stream instead of shipping cans around the country?

  • Not much to say except this is the BEST healthy and guilt free beverage I indulge in on a nearly daily basis. All of their flavors are incredibly tasty and delicious. Cherry Vanilla and Strawberry Vanilla are my go-tos but Cream Soda calls my name on the rare occasions I see it in the store. Yum!!

  • Such a fun new drink that is also good for your health! We drink it by the case at our house!

  • Unpopular opinion, but I don’t think Olipop is amazing. The stevia taste just makes these too hard for me to drink. But if that doesn’t bother you, you’d probably enjoy them! I’ve tried on multiple occasions in different flavors. I really want to love the brand but there are other soda alternative beverages that I prefer.

  • I love the concept and probably the best executed “healthy” soda. My favorite is the root beer. The only thing I don’t love is the aftertaste of the stevia because it ruins it being a soda for me. I know some people don’t notice it, but if you notice the flavor of stevia you’ll notice it here.

  • As someone who prioritizes health and aims to reduce sugar intake, I recently tried OLIPOP Sodas in hopes of finding a tasty, low-sugar alternative. However, my experience left me with mixed feelings. Here's my detailed review: Sugar Substitutes and Aftertaste: OLIPOP Sodas utilize alternative sugar substitutes, but unfortunately, the aftertaste is quite noticeable and unpleasant. Unlike other products where alternative sugars can be nearly indistinguishable from traditional sugars, OLIPOP falls short in this regard. The artificial aftertaste detracts from the overall enjoyment of the beverage. If you have a sensitive palate or are accustomed to a more natural taste, this may be a significant drawback for you. Competition Comparison: In terms of competing brands, I found that OLIPOP Sodas did not measure up. When compared to other alternatives like Untied Sodas of America and Poppi, OLIPOP's aftertaste was more pronounced and less appealing. These competing brands have managed to create better-tasting beverages with alternative sugars that are more palatable and leave less of an aftertaste. If you're looking for a low-sugar soda option, it may be worth exploring these alternatives instead. Notable Flavors: While OLIPOP Sodas may have fallen short in some areas, there were a couple of standout flavors. The Vintage Collection, featuring flavors like Tropical Punch and Strawberry Vanilla, offered a more enjoyable experience. These particular flavors managed to strike a better balance, masking the artificial aftertaste to some extent. If you do decide to try OLIPOP, I recommend starting with these flavors to maximize your chances of a satisfying experience. Health-Conscious Approach: One positive aspect of OLIPOP Sodas is their commitment to catering to health-conscious individuals. With their low-sugar formulation and inclusion of prebiotics and botanicals, OLIPOP attempts to provide a more functional and beneficial beverage option. However, the overall taste experience doesn't quite match up to the health-focused concept they're aiming for.

  • Is this a coke? No. Did I expect it to be..? Also no. That being said, it’s still super tasty and it really satisfies the craving for a pop. The ingredient are super great. I don’t feel guilty drinking one of these. They also keep dropping new flavors, so that’s exciting!

  • Love Olipop! Definitely helping me kick soda! Most of the flavors I’ve had so far are great.

  • Flavor profile for their Orange soda is solid, but their root beer missed the mark. The effervescence can take a little getting use to, but overall a wonderful experience. If you’re looking for a slightly healthier soda, ollipop is definitely a good option.

  • Love Olipop! Such fun branding, but also a really tasty treat that you feel better after reaching for rather than, say, a Diet Coke. It does feel a little splurge-y to buy, but again, a better snack than most and not caffeine.

  • The flavors can be hit and miss, but these are a yummy sweet beverage when you want a treat without all the sugar. Plus they're good for your gut and don't upset my tummy. The cola is my favorite flavor by far! They are kind of expensive though.

  • I love Olipop! The only soda alternative made with all clean ingredients. Not only are they a healthier alternative, they are delicious!

    Great option for those who are trying to cut out soda.

  • I think the packaging is super cute and the taste is great! But I do get an upset stomach but I am sure it is because of the prebiotics.

    I do really like it! I think one a day is all I can stick to.

  • I love the variety of flavors and it has a twist of health. the tropical punch is my favorite

    Feedback

    Just a little sweet but better than a coca cola

  • The idea behind Olipop is great! It’s a healthier alternative to a lot of drinks and has prebiotic properties. In my opinion, the best flavor is Root Beer; it’s the one that tastes the least like stevia and it has an overall pleasant vanilla taste. It’s something that I actually buy fairly often when I want a carbonated drink. I’ve only tried a few of the other flavors, but I have yet to find another one that I really enjoy.

    Feedback

    The flavor of the cola-type ones just remind me so much of medicine and the stevia flavor is honestly really unpleasant. I don’t know what’s different about the root beer, but I actually enjoy it and buy it often. I haven’t tried any of the fruit flavored ones yet, so I can’t speak to those.

  • My family loves the variety of flavors! I love that it seems healthy and not full of sugar. It's not too expensive, cute designs and great taste. I look forward to buying these again.

  • The perfect little carbonated fix you need in the middle of the day! They're great and good for you. They do seem slightly sugary in flavor, but I'm super picky with that, so it could just be a me thing! Overall, I wouldn't hate slugging down two or three of these a week!

  • I am not a big soda drinker but I've been looking for an alternative to just water or an alcoholic beverage. Olipop is a great alternative and is delicious as well as good for you. The strawberry vanilla flavor is a perfect sweet treat that isn't overwhelmingly sweet or sugary. The orange squeeze is also a supererb flavor and I can't wait to try more of their flavors!

  • I love the trend towards ‘healthier versions of your favorite soda’, and for me, Olipop has the best taste out of all the brands I’ve tried. My favorite flavors are the classics, Vintage Cola and Root Beer. I love that some of the flavors have a little bit of caffeine, which is perfect for a mid afternoon work pick me up. I also love that each can also has so much fiber as that is something that can be lacking in our everyday diet. I did notice that these drinks are best served straight out of the fridge/ice cold, as if not, the licorice root flavor (?) really starts to come out much more strongly. This is a brand I definitely try to always have stocked in my fridge!

  • I have loved every OLIPOP flavor I have tried: Cherry Vanilla, Strawberry Vanilla, Orange Squeeze, and Crisp Apple, and I'd love to try some of the other flavors I have yet to experience, especially their banana flavor!

    OLIPOP feels like an indulgence in terms of how delicious it tastes, but in reality, it's good for you with low sugar and lots of gut-boosting prebiotics to feed your internal garden. I love this healthy treat! It's expensive, but I just have to have a few cans each week.
