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.

  • Love the nostalgia of the flavors and how its kind of a soda alternative. Love the variety.

  • I like the concept, but honestly, I'm not a frequent enough soda drinker for the alt version (Olipop) to be worth it. The flavors always taste good at first, but sometimes there's a weird aftertaste or the flavor seems to change after a few sips. I'm assuming it's due to the sweeteners they use. I've tried a few flavors (root beer, strawberry vanilla, and their holiday apple flavor) and feel the same about all of them. I just don't *love* them.

  • I love the idea and the initial flavor, but I'm not a fan of the aftertaste or the way the sweetener tastes. I've tried a few different flavors and have come to the conclusion they're not for me.

  • Their rootbeer and lemon ginger flavor are a few of my favorite beverages. As a rootbeer lover, it feels like such an indulgence to drink a can of this. The ginger lemon is also very good and would be great in a Moscow Mule or dark and stormy if you want to make a cocktail that has a few benefits!

    Feedback

    Their Orange and cola flavor taste very sickly to me. They're both reminiscent of medicine in my opinion, the orange tastes almost exactly like Emergen-C, whereas the cola flavor tastes like soda-flavored medicine for children.

  • They’re mission is great. They’re packaging is cute.

    Feedback

    Tastes fake to me, and I don’t like fake sweetener. I also don’t drink soda so don’t need a healthier alternative. I would’ve enjoyed it as a treat on occasion if I tasted more like a natural cream soda for the nostalgia.

  • I like the idea, but I cannot get over the taste of stevia and cassava. The flavors aren't bad, and the health benefits in a soda drink are very interesting, but the sweeteners and amount used are just too much for me personally. Maybe they're an acquired taste, as I know other people who love olipop. Just not for me, but are drinkable.

    Feedback

    Less sweetener, maybe cane sugar instead of stevia and cassava.

  • Tried the vintage cola, I really liked! would definetly be open to trying the other flavors!

  • Good, but I've had better. Strawberry vanilla and tropical punch tasted a little artificial to me, and I personally just love the classic, super sugary root beer taste.

  • I want to like Olipop more but they're just fine. I think I would rather just have a soda or a seltzer.

  • Flavors for me are hit or miss but the ones I love I LOVE. Perfect alternative to soda and feels like such a treat, especially the strawberry vanilla.

  • I tried their cola flavor and wasn’t a fan. That said, I love their packaging and branding and want to give other flavors a try.

    Feedback

    Access to purchase the brand in more shops other than my local foxtrot location. I haven’t seen them elsewhere and flavors are limited there.

  • I think the packaging is appealing and I like the amount of fiber it has per can (9g).

    Feedback

    The flavor isn't for me; I tried the Ginger Lemon and it tasted very artificial. It's very obvious that it's flavored with Stevia, which I'm just not a fan of. I also don't realistically see this as a replacement for soda or even for seltzer at $3 a can. Even if you were to subscribe to save some money on a 12 pack every two weeks, that would put you at less than one can per day, which is probably way less than an avid soda/seltzer fan would drink.

  • Package is beautiful and engaging, there is no doubt! But the flavor is “meh”. I would still rather grab a coke.

  • Oilpop tastes incredible! It doesn’t have the weird chemical aftertaste that some health drinks do, and drinking one when I’m bloating generally helps me feel better.

  • Cute packaging, the flavor is odd. It’s not bad but it has this kind of dull-sweetness to it.

    Feedback

    I think the flavors could be more tart.

  • It was not a bad flavor at all, but too sweet for me. I tried the strawberry vanilla and I could only drink half because it was too strong and flavorful.

    Feedback

    If you like sweet sodas, this might be perfect for you! I just don't like soda and was hoping for a lighter and healthier alternative. It didn't feel healthier, it felt too sugary.

  • I think the flavors are delicious! I wish it had less carbs / or a no carb version, but this is a great substitute for soda! The ingredients are amazing as well.

  • I am a former soda guy, and this is an amazing alternative. Some flavors are better than others, but all in all really great!
