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 wish I loved Olipop, but I haven't found one I enjoy. To me, it honestly tastes like watered down soda that was recarbonated (is that a word?). If you enjoy drinks like Lacroix, you might enjoy these better than I did. I think if it weren't carbonated I'd be ok with the lack of flavor because it didn't taste bad, just like it was kind of missing.

    Still options rather than just sparkling.

  • Overall a very enjoyable beverage. I tried the vintage cola and classic grape. The vintage cola wasn’t my favorite (a bit too sweet for my taste) but the classic grape was everything g I wanted and more! I couldn’t stop telling people! I can’t speak as to the health benefits as they are a bit too pricey for me to drink consistently. However I will be grabbing a classic grape in the future!

    Feedback

    The cans available at my grocery store were all slightly dented. Not a big deal but ruins the aesthetic of the can.

  • Tastes so good, I wonder if it’s actually healthy! I’m sure it is. Fun flavors and packaging. Great to up your fridge aesthetic or for parties 🎉

    Wish it didn’t cost as much.

  • The first time I saw this brand was in Whole Foods, it immediately caught my eye with the colors and the cartoonish design. I thought I would give it a go and bought the Orange Squeeze flavor.

    Feedback

    I was very pleasantly surprised by this Orange Squeeze beverage. Although I usually stay away from any products that use sugar, I thought I'd give it a try as I am a huge advocate and lover of prebiotics and anyting that supports digestive health. Flavor: The flavor was amazing. I was blown away as it tasted like a cream orange soda. It fizzed in my mouth and was a refreshing feeling all the way down. Smell: Refreshing citrus smell, loved the experience of smelling it and feeling the bubbles hitting my nose. Overall I was very pleased with my purchase and would purchase again for a treat to my gut and my taste buds!

  • LOVE IT. Favorites are the Root Beer and Strawberry Vanilla. Not usually a Root Beer fan but this one is *chef's kiss*. Every flavor I have tried has been good.

  • I love these drinks! They are so tasty and I love that they’re probiotic! However, I could potentially see some people being put off by them if they tried them solely as a traditional soda, since they’re definitely not an identical match.

    Feedback

    I think my least favorite flavor is the orange one. The orange tastes almost artificial and kinda odd. I just think overall they should focus on making the flavors more unique, but I have a lot of hope for them.

  • I love the Coca Cola and tropical Punch flavor. It is the closest drink I have found to a diet coke or regular fruit punch without all the harmful ingredients.

    Feedback

    I would love if they rolled out more flavors!

  • I love the classic root beer flavor. The drinks have some sugar in them but much lower than traditional soda.

  • There was no flavor what so ever. The idea of the microbiome is poorly researched and certainly could not be resolved by drinking soda. So, it wasn't honest in either taste nor intention

    Improve the flavor, make variety packs, and drop the health promises

  • Such a good alternative to soda.

    Feedback

    Vending machines. That would be really cool. But with reasonable pricing. Maybe do like a pop up somewhere with 99 cent sodas for like a day. That would drive business.

  • I love love love Olipop. It’s never going to fully replace the taste of Coke or Sprite but it comes pretty close!! So much healthier and fulfills all of my soda cravings.

    Feedback

    Some of the flavors could use a tiny bit more refinement, but I really am a fan overall.

  • Great variety of flavors, like the nostalgic feeling of the brand/flavors

    Feedback

    Price per. An

  • From the packaging to the fun, throwback flavors, Olipop hits it out of the park. It’s not as fizzy as normal soda and don’t go in expecting it to taste like any other soda either. It’s really tasty, but in some flavors you can almost taste the health. Love the classic cola.

    Feedback

    Expanded flavors! I just noticed they’ve added some more, which is a fun change. Additionally, I’m always aware this will be more expensive than regular soda. But the price makes these cans only for special treats.

  • Absolutely LOVE these drinks. My favorite is the Root Beer flavored one. It helps my digestion so much and tastes incredible. I highly recommend.

    Feedback

    The only thing that could use improvement is making something shelf stable. I didn’t realize when I first ordered them that they had to be refrigerated.

  • Olipop has a very pungent stevia flavor and aftertaste, which, unfortunately, ruined the flavor of the drink for me. From a microbial perspective, I wonder how much benefit microbial community in your gut gain from stevia (as opposed to sugar) — current research shows that the jury is still out on whether it helps or hinders the health of your gut microbiome. In any case, it is a shame the stevia flavor is so prominent in this drink because otherwise I enjoyed the intended flavors, especially strawberry vanilla.

  • Loved the taste! Vintage cola and Classic root beer scratch that itch!

  • Love the flavor of the strawberry vanilla! Tastes just like a cream soda with the perfect amount of fizz.

  • It was not the most incredible thing I've ever tasted but the digestive help was a true part of it. I'd buy it again, but the flavor wouldn't top my list for drinks of this nature.

  • Honestly nothing special. Perhaps it was the flavor I tried and should give another flavor a chance. The packaging is adorable and I love that the product is better for you than most beverages!

    Not a fan of the orange flavor!
