Culture Pop, No Stevia, Probiotic Soda, Jazzy & Juicy Variety, 12fl oz 12pk

If you like seltzer but wish it was a little sweeter and a little more flavorful - this is what you’ve been looking for!! The mix pack that I chose was Wild Berries&Lime/Strawberry&Lime/Black Cherry/Watermelon&Lime. Though the ingredients differed among the flavors - the nutrition info was exactly the same. Zero fat, zero protein, 45 calories, 10g carbs, 8g sugar although it’s a ‘no sugar added’ product.The taste is great - very refreshing! It has nowhere near the sweetness of regular soda so if that’s what you’re looking for this might not be for you. If you’re willing to trim some of the sweetness - this would be an excellent AND healthy switch.In addition to great taste, it’s non-gmo, vegan, gluten free, and it has live probiotic! It’s actually good for you!!

Yummy flavors! They all taste very natural and not too sweet!! Other probiotic sodas I’ve tried have been too sweet. Culture pop has just the right amount of sweetness to be a nice treat without me feeling like I need to add plain seltzer to it!

Most similar products are PRE-biotic, meaning they contain undigestible carbohydrates that get consumed by gut bacteria, theoretically promoting growth of good flora. Culture Pop, on the other hand, is PRO-biotic, meaning that the product itself is inoculated with active cultures known to promote gut health. This makes Culture Pop more like kombucha or yogurt.Prebiotic products are like metamucil...as you may know, bacterial fermentation of fiber and similarly undigestible carbs can sometimes cause bloating and gas. I found this out the hard way when my 7 y/o daughter drank a can of a competitor product (I don't want to get in legal trouble here, so let's just call the product "Ploppi"), and then experienced bowel-ripping explosive diarrhea that can be only described as "Chernobylian". In my bathroom. It was very inconvenient. Side note, I will also state that this competitor product tastes how I imagine the liquid that collects at the bottom of a compost bin would, if you mixed it with stevia.TL;DR, I you like healthy probiotic drinks with creative fruit flavor combinations and you don't want to sleep in a cholera cot, this is the drink for you!PS - FWW, I'm a doctor and an immunologist, so I kind of know what I'm talking about here. I mean...I may be full of 💩, but it's healthy, well-formed, and probiotic-enriched 💩. Thanks Culture Pop!PPS - I don't get why they didn't name the product "Pop Culture" instead. Seems like a miss, whoever runs their marketing.

I really wanted to like this product. All alternative sweeteners (splenda/sucralose, stevia, monk fruit) taste bitter to me, so I said yes to a "healthier soda" that doesn't contain any.But, wow, this stuff is disgusting. It's lightly carbonated, diluted fruit juice, with a white grape juice/lime base. I love lime, but this stuff is not good. I also have no idea how this is "soda"??Total gimmick, as is the probiotic advertising. This is not gonna heal your gut lol. It's just marketing.The flavors taste mostly the same. I had family, friends, and a couple neighbors try it. No one likes it. We're dumping at least half of every can into the sink. It's undrinkable. You'll do better mixing juice with La Croix. Not recommended.

Good soda, with mostly clean ingredients.Little did I know when I set out on my search for a “healthy” soda, that healthy sodas basically don’t exist, in any capacity.However, culture pop surprised with no artificial sweeteners (which are always gross!) and had clean, mostly caution free ingredients. I think there was only one ingredient that had a potential risk, all others were risk free.Great value for the money in what you get! Be cautious, however, though. The flavors in these sodas are much different and may be an acquired taste to some. It took me a few cans in of each flavor with the lack of sweetness to come around to actually liking them for that reason as well.

The cans arrived well packaged and still fizzy. The drinks taste ok, and they do what they are meant to do. In my opinion, they are a bit expensive. I will probably order them again when I want to splurge on myself a bit.

Good quality

Just a bit too tart for my preference. Not a strong ACV flavor though, just tangy. Personally, I prefer Ollipop but tried these to save a bit on the cost. I'm not knowledgeable enough to compare the two with regard to prebiotic or health benefit.
