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.

  • while i love the uniquely fun packaging and flavor options, i was ultimately let down by my experience with olipop. the taste for the vintage cola was highly artificial, and i would warn anyone who is sensitive to the taste of artificial sugars such as stevia to be wary. I really wanted to love this drink as the combination of flavorful sparkling tonic and gut support really got my interest. perhaps the other flavors are different! (also the cans are a bit expensive, but that's just a heads up not a complaint!)

  • Probably the best soda alternative I have tried. Some the flavors are definitely better than others, with Strawberry, Vintage Cola, and Orange being my favorites (I have also tried Grape and Root Beer). Definitely pricey at 2.50 a can, so sadly it can't be a daily thing, but definitely my go-to when I want a sweet drink. I have also seen it available in multiple stores, even though it does run out from time to time.

    A bulk package with cheaper per-can price would be huge for me personally.

  • I love the variety of flavors that they offer

    Feedback

    The price on their website is more expensive than in store. Direct from the vendor should be the most affordable.

  • I really enjoyed the ginger lemon flavor. It tasted great. It definitely does not taste like soda but it's delicious and what my tummy needed.

    Feedback

    It could be a bit sweeter for the kiddos.

    I wanted to like these tonic drinks but the flavors weren't for me (I tried strawberry vanilla and classic root beer)

  • All the flavors are great. Good amount of carbonation, and the design is great too!

  • Hit or miss depending on the flavor. I like that it's "healthy" soda.

  • I expected that Olipop would have a harsh taste given how great the ingredients are and I was happily surprised. The root beer flavor is amazing and tastes just like soda but has probiotics! Totally worth the buy!

    Feedback

    Pricy but worth it

  • Super tasty, the flavors are amazing, but the sweetness is overwhelming.

    Feedback

    Too sweet

  • I love OliPop! Strawberry Vanilla is my favorite flavor. They’re not overly bubbly like a normal soda but they’re not flat either. The cola flavor isn’t comparable to a Coca Cola but it is a good alternative. Highly recommend.

  • I've tried about half of Olipop's flavors and loved them! Soda makes me feel kinda icky after I drink it but Olipop was delicious without the gross feeling. The flavors are so good especially strawberry vanilla. I will say that they did make me have to go to the bathroom but I read that that's a normal reaction to the fiber/prebiotics. Just be warned!

    The major drawback is the price. Much more pricey compared to just a regular sparkling water.

  • Yummy, for me, I am a huge fan of the flavors this company comes out with! I’ve drank the flavors throughout my post partum and second round of pregnancy — makes it fun to feel like a quality drink on the daily and to have in my fridge.

  • These are pretty good!

    Feedback

    Can have a mild stevia taste with the orange soda which I don’t like

  • Love Olipop, my favorites are grape and root beer.

    Feedback

    My only suggestion would make them more carbonated, sometimes they have a flat taste to them.

  • Such a great alternative to sodas and sweet drinks! I personally only like a few flavors so it isn’t my top favorite soda alternative tonic, but the ones I do like are delicious. The cans are super cute and eye catching - love the design.

    Feedback

    They’re a bit pricey and would love to see new flavors soon!

  • I really like the flavor of Olipop. I've tried a few of them and think they're a great substitute for soda. I think its overpriced, but I find them on sale sometimes and get them.

  • Tried these out after seeing them all over my social feeds. Unfortunately, I think they taste awful. They just taste off

    Feedback

    Expensive for something not so great

  • These are very unique. I like the “Strawberry Vanilla” flavor, but the texture of these are different. They almost have a chalky, powdery feel to them? They also have a particular aftertaste that is apparent in “botanical” soft drinks like this. I still enjoy it but it is an acquired taste!
