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.

  • Finally, a drink that is cute and tastes great! It’s hard to find something with that combo nowadays since most tastes yucky. I’m so glad they are stocked in Costco as well! Unfortunately, only a flavor or two are sold at Costco, and the better flavors are stocked in local grocery stores - but easy to find. This tastes like a healthier alternative to soda, but sometimes I do prefer soda over this since the flavor isn’t an exact replica.

  • All the Olipop flavors I've tried have been great, and it makes me feel good that I'm getting some fiber in the drink. However, I still think their marketing is taking advantage of the new prebiotic trend and disguising a sugary drink as somehow a "health" drink. You're probably better off not drinking this at all, but if you "have" to have a sugary beverage, this is way better than a normal soda.

  • I'm going to be honest. Just drink a regular soda. I know it is supposed to be healthier, but I don't think it's a valid replacement and takes even more artificial than a coke itself. If you're going to opt for a soda taste, I would just recommend going for the real thing. But super cute branding!

  • From my experience, it's either you LOVE or you HATE the taste of OLIPOP. I personally love the flavors and the aftertaste it gives off doesn't affect me as much as other people. My recommendation to people haven't tried OLIPOP before is to give it a shot before you knock it. Especially the root beer flavor. YUM!

  • This is my favorite way to get a fiber boost by far! So long, days of benefiber. These sodas taste amazing and do even better things for my gut than kombucha!

  • Huge OLIPOP fan. Not all flavors are created equal. Love the Holiday "Crisp Apple" and wish they'd make it year-round — it reminds me of Martinelli's with a little more oomph. My recent favorite is the new Ginger Ale. For regular soda drinkers, I'm not sure this is a replacement that would kick a soda habit, but for people who don't drink soda often and just want a little treat/fun drink from time to time, these are perfect. The Grape, Cream Soda, and Tropical Punch flavors are particularly nostalgic. I love medicinal-tasting things so their Rootbeer, Cherry Cola, and Doctor Goodwin are right up my alley. They go on sale at Whole Foods quite often. I agree with the other reviewers who comment on the alternative sweetener taste. I'm sensitive to the taste of Stevia, but these don't bother me the same way other no-sugar drinks do.

  • I was so excited for the strawberry vanilla, but I thought it tasted like medicine and was way too sweet

  • The vintage cola is my favorite! It tastes similar to a regular Cola and it’s a bonus that it is healthier for you, too! The only downside for me is the cost.

  • Great brand!!! The flavor is amazing. It’s not super carbonated which I love!

  • Nice selection of flavors and sweetness level is just perfect! Great for when I’m craving something more flavorful than a seltzer. Makes a great cocktail when mixed with vodka or tequila!!!

  • I quite enjoyed the nostalgic flavors found in the olipop line and loved that I was getting some health benefits while indulging in a soda. The cans are fun and appealing too.

  • My wife gets these and they're pretty good. A little too sweet for me but a good alternative for sodas and stuff. They are a nice treat every once in a while.

  • Olipop is my favorite probiotic drink! The cola, root beer, and “Dr. P” flavors bring me back to my youth! When I want a sweet treat, I grab an Olipop and sometimes add a splash of non-dairy creamer (try it will the Orange flavor!). Two a day will help your digestion! I get them at Sprouts, 2 for $4. These are such a treat and so worth the money. The healthy version of soda, for sure!

  • I wanted to love this but they were soooo sweet and I dumped it after the first sip. To be fair, I HATE stevia, so that’s probably why.

  • Not a fan of all of the flavors, but LOVE the root beer flavor. It’s absolutely delicious and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for my body while enjoying a fun drink.

  • Delicious alternative to soda. A little bit too sweet for me but doesn't have that bad Stevia aftertaste.

  • The Banana and Strawberry ones are to die for. So yummy! Hard to tell if it’s had a direct affect on my gut, but I have had less stomach issues lately!

  • Olipops are a great beverage that makes me happy when I drink it! I think sometimes the taste feels a little artificial but overall their flavor selection is unmatched. The ginger lemon and root beer are my favorites!
