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 wasn’t sure what to expect when I first tried OLIPOP Strawberry Vanilla, but wow — it totally blew me away! The flavor is perfectly balanced: the strawberry tastes fresh and fruity, and the vanilla adds this creamy, smooth finish that makes it feel like a treat and a soda at the same time. It’s nostalgic but elevated, like a healthier twist on a classic cream soda. What I love most is that it doesn’t taste overly sweet or artificial, and knowing it has prebiotics and way less sugar than traditional soda makes it an easy yes for me. It’s become my go-to afternoon pick-me-up or guilt-free dessert drink. If I had one wish, it would be for a bigger can — it’s that good! Major shoutout to OLIPOP for making something that’s both delicious and gut-friendly. I’ve already stocked my fridge and keep recommending it to friends. Five stars, no question!

  • Love this soda alternative the flavors are great. This hits the spot when I need something to substitute for a coke. I would love to see more flavors included in the future! All of my local stores carry them

  • I really enjoyed this drink! I was amazed at all the choices of flavors and kinds! I really like the flavors that I tried and I will definitely be buying this again. It’s a fun pick me up in the afternoon!

  • Love the banana cream flavor! Such a great product, so glad they brought it back into their flavors. Perfect balance of banana and creamy vanilla

  • I really liked these drinks, even as someone who does not normally drink carbonated beverages. They have some more gut benefits than a traditional soda. There are a ton of flavors though, and I've found that some classic flavors are better than some more unique ones.

  • Love this product as an alternative to a sugary or diet soda, but found it to be a little too sweet for my taste. Would definitely give other flavors another chance, and saw a suggestion to make a root beer float with the brand’s flavor.

    Feedback

    Personal preference was a bit too sweet, and not certain how it is better than a diet soda, but low calorie and lots of flavor options.

  • Really impressed with OLIPOP! I tried the Classic Root Beer flavor, and the taste was spot on. My favorite is the Lemon Lime - super refreshing. I've also tried the Vintage Cola, Cream Soda, and Classic Grape. My least favorites were Classic Grape and Cream Soda. I had my whole family try these drinks to see what they thought, and it was a 10/10 from everyone. As someone who has been drinking kombucha for almost a decade and regularly eats specific foods for gut health, I don't think this will be replacing my gut health routine, just because I already know what works for me. However, I rarely drink soda and I'll be using OLIPOP as an alternative whenever I crave a flavored drink! It also makes a really cute addition to a spread of drinks/food for picnics, events, etc.

    The bubbly, fizziness of the drink doesn't last as long as regular soda. That isn't a big deal to me because flavor is the most important part, but just something to note in case that matters to other people.

  • Soda with health benefits, you can't go wrong with that. I go for the classics like cherry cola and ginger lemon, but every time I'm at Target there's always a new flavor to sample so that's part of the fun.

  • The products are fantastic and consistently taste amazing. Unlike other "better for you sodas", I believe their flavors are the most authentic to the original taste. But, I'm not sure they're worth the cost. I struggle to justify the price unless they are on sale

  • I love a better for you soda. I am a big mid day sparkling beverage fan. It also has low sugar and some fiber, which is great. Also a wide variety of flavors all in cute cans. My favorite is root beer.

  • I liked many things about Olipop's sparkling tonic - they have very cute packaging design, some of their flavors tasted really good, and they also provide some health benefits with the prebiotics and fibers in them.

  • Olipop is the best brand of healthy pop out there! The flavor packs a punch and isn’t muted. The ingredients list is really amazing with the helpful body additions. Plus, this cans are super cute now that they e made mini ones!

  • Upon cracking open the sleek can, you’re greeted with a bright, citrusy aroma reminiscent of freshly peeled oranges. The first sip is a burst of zesty, sun-kissed citrus that strikes a delightful balance between tangy and sweet. Unlike traditional orange sodas—which often overwhelm with syrupy sweetness—Orange Squeeze leans into a more nuanced profile. The natural orange flavor shines, complemented by subtle floral and herbal undertones from OLIPOP’s botanical blend (think notes of calendula or ginger). The sweetness, derived from a mix of stevia, monk fruit, and a touch of organic cane sugar, is noticeably lighter than conventional sodas but satisfying enough to curb cravings.

  • Olipop gives me life. I will usually have one at the end of the day as my sweet treat and it keeps me from consuming too much sugar. But it’s also so good, I hate diet soda. This is a perfect, better for you treat. The grape is my current favorite.

  • Okay…so I like Olipop…but I love Poppi. Let me tell you why: I am not a huge pop fan and Olipop is supposed to be a guy healthy alternative to regular pop. It has a selection of classic pop flavors that have prebiotic fibers. While Poppi has more fruity flavors mixed with apple cider vinegar and prebiotics. While Olipop has 5g of sugar and 9g of prebiotic fiber per serving, Poppi has 4-5g of sugar and 2g of fiber per serving. So if you like the flavor of pop, Olipop is the superior brand in my opinion.

  • I like Olipop Root Beer. Having probiotics and fiber makes me feel good physically and mentally. I love adding a few scoops of vegan vanilla ice cream and making a guilt free root beer float.

  • The Ginger Ale flavor is great as I love the actual taste of the ginger you get, but for the regular price point it isn't for me! It was on sale at Walmart for around $1.30, so if it's on sale I see myself grabbing one. I also don't personally think it has the satisfying bubbles I like, but it is a much softer carbonation that many might love!

  • great flavor, nothing artificial. Great for you overall gut health as well considering it’s a super convenient pre/probiotic as well. I bring one for lunch just about everyday. Alot of probiotic drinks taste bad and have a weird aftertaste but this one doesn’t

  • For a while I've been seeing Olipop products here and there on my instagram explore page and it piqued my interest, because I love seltzer. The probiotic thing is just an added bonus! I finally got around to trying it and it really is good. I enjoyed the cherry vanilla flavor a lot.

  • Love new soda brands. I only got about 5 of the root beer. They looked so cool in my fridge not to mention tasty so it didn’t last. I’ll be ordering all their different flavors then post a pic. Def fancy for sure!!
