UNITED SODAS earns mixed reviews: flavorful, creative options like Sour Blueberry, White Grape, and Strawberry Basil impress many and the minimalist packaging delights, but sweetness levels, noticeable stevia/erythritol aftertaste, and inconsistent carbonation undermine appeal. Reviews note it works as a lighter, low-calorie soda alternative with distinct flavors, yet several find certain SKUs weak, artificial, or “melted popsicle”-like.

I drink a lot of flavored sparkling water. It's been my replacement for soda for a long time. I have to say, these flavors are delicious!! I loved the blueberry one and would definitely buy it again. I also had the strawberry one and accidentally left the rest overnight sitting on the dining table. The next day it was surprisingly still bubbly!
Such a refreshing taste! Not too bubbly and the flavors are all so good.

All the flavors are unique but tasty! I’m not a huge soda person and I find myself reaching for them. Not very expensive and simple packaging (which I love).
The most fun sodas ever, love the creative flavors and stand out packaging! Plus they have a real soda taste, nothing like boring sparkling water.

Orange Nectarine Tasting Notes: This soda greets the nose with a punchy bouquet of creamsicle It is full-bodied, with hints of peach and clementines The San Jaoquin Valley terroir is evident in the rich and complex flavors that power this fizzy nectarine libation The finish is clean and the bubbles are effervescent yet subtle Like a rising sun's rays meeting a gentle morning's dew, a fleeting sip briefly lingers and then vanishes untraced Unrecognized, yet somehow unforgettable
Feedback
These sodas taste great, but they're also obviously very much about the pleasing aesthetic. Through that lens, I felt like the can wrapping could have been a bit more polished and had a better feel to it. Also, the price is just hard to justify

A few flavors were standouts while the rest felt like poor knock-offs of what it should taste like. I understand that you have to sacrifice some quality/taste to create a healthier product; I was just personally unsatisfied with some flavor pairings.

- Improved flavor profile
I wanted to love these sodas. Their cans are cute, their branding is fun, the unboxing experience of the rainbow sampler pack was super joyful, but the sodas were gross.

• Improve the taste! • Shipping took a really long time! It took 7 days for my order to ship and over 11 from order to delivery. :-(
The brand states "no artificial sweeteners" however they do use stevia which you can taste immediately, so slightly misleading. I think they would be better off removing this claim and advertising as a diet soda. I liked the unique flavors (sour blueberry and strawberry basil), overall yummy drinks though for those who don't mind the taste of artificial sweeteners, just not for me!

At 30 calories per can, United Sodas stands in a grey area between sparkling water and soda, but toes that line nicely. Unlike diet sodas, the drinking experience doesn’t feel “empty” with the amount of sugar added being just enough to get the degree of satisfaction from drinking a normal soda, without the stickily sweet aftertaste. I do wish that they used juices as opposed to natural flavoring to get their flavor, and I hope they can bring down the price in the future, but other than that they have a great product in a great looking can.

I tried a few flavors. The Sour Blueberry and White Grape were both amazing and I look forward to buying them again. I love the packaging and they have a good price point. I really like that they don't taste "healthy" but are still low-calorie. I also enjoy the wide variety of flavors. I think that these are great to have around the house and can satisfy a pop craving. I look forward to trying more flavors!

I wanted to like these - the branding and packaging is super cool but sadly it just doesn't taste like a soda. If it were branded as a water beverage, I think that would be more appropriate and the taste would have been more in line with expectations but it's branded as a soda. The ingredient list says it all - the first five ingredients in the Cherry Pop are carbonated water, cane sugar, erythritol, stevia (both???) and citric acid...so it's basically carbonated water. I've tried both the Cherry Pop and Sour Blueberry and both taste like water with a hint of flavor. I expect a soda to have not just carbonation or sparkle but also a distinct flavor. I've tried competitor brands that have done do this successfully. Unfortunately, these just come across as great branding on a product that doesn't live up to the hype.

I have tried the white grape flavor and really enjoyed it. It has a strong flavor that is not overpowering and is a great alternative to traditional sodas,
Really tasty sodas. Not too sugary, which I appreciate, but lots of flavor.

My absolute favorite drinks on the market! At first I wondered if the packaging would live up to the flavors, but now I am obsessed with these. Toasted Coconut is the best coconut drink available on the market. With Strawberry Basil and Pear Elderflower coming in second and third, , but seriously every flavor is worth it! If I ever have a big event, I’m totally having these drinks available. Plus they make my color coordinated dreams come true!
I tried the entire flavor pack and absolutely loved the taste. The sour blueberry flavor I could order over and over again. It is a great alternative for soda drinkers who want a bit of a healthier option calorie-wise. The only thing I would change is the price per soda seems a little on the more expensive side.
Some flavors taste like melted popsicle. But they weren’t awful tasting.

i had the orange nectarine. subtle flavor and feels healthier than regular soda with the satisfaction of the carbonation
Tasted like a melted ice pop once you sucked the flavor out of it and the remaining liquid sat in the plastic for a long period of time.
I tried the orange nectarine. It was excellent, not overly sweet and a great flavor. However, it does have Erythritol which I would prefer not to consume. Low calorie but still more than it’s worth for me.
