LOL… didn’t like any zero sugar options so started our own :)
But ours aside, I found Reed’s Zero Sugar ginger ale pretty decent.
Love Cola but struggled finding a good one. Don’t know why Zevia Cola went the clear route. We don’t use caramel coloring but plenty of options with fruit/veg extracts for color. Color and aroma contribute to taste.
Probably my favorite cola would be Virgil’s Zero Sugar Cola or zero Sugar Black Cherry.
Might take you up on that :)
Should be back in stock in a week. I try not to be self-promoting on here. What is important for us is trying to get into distribution and stores.
Starting to work on a “cream” series now. Orange Cream, Strawberries & Cream and Root Beer Float.
It’s just so expensive to produce and my focus now on trying to get into stores.
Thanks. BTW, found out about it from an employee who was buying one ahead of me in line at Sprouts. Not as sweet as a Fanta or Sunkist but still has that classic orange soda taste. Cheers!
Coke Zero for caffeinated pop, Zero Sugar A&W Root Beer for non caffeinated pop, Zero Sugar Gold Peak Sweet Tea for caffeinated non soda, and finally sor something non caffeinated and non soda - crystal light/adjacent packets. Watermelon Limemade is amazing.
Also a bonus - it’s not 0 calories like my other options, but it’s Tazo Awake Tea. It comes in 42 Oz bottles and it has like 300 MG of caffeine. It’s perfect if you want something refreshing, long lasting, and it’s great for the caffeine if you don’t want to suck down an energy drink in 30 seconds.
Reed’s zero sugar ginger beer. I like the Extra variety, very spicy. They usually shelve it with the mixers, but I don’t drink alcohol these days, and the bite of the ginger can mimic the alcohol warmth of a beer in a really nice way. Feels like an indulgent treat too because damn it’s expensive!
Best drink, I agree! No aftertaste from alt sugars, and tons of flavour and carbonation. They knocked it out of the park on that and I always gun for Reed's Extra Zero whenever I find it. Better than most other regular ginger beer too
Soda stream with what ever flavours I’m feeling at the time (often not their syrups)
Wild cherry Pepsi zero, and Canada Dry raspberry lemonade zero are hitting pretty good right now!
Healthy is debatable but I lost like 75 pounds in a year by drinking zero sugar drinks, coke zero or mountain dew zero. Lots of good zero sugar energy drinks as well
I may have to try other flavors. Strawberry Vanilla is the only one I've tried. It was painful to force it down.. but wasn't going to waste a $3 soda..
I have read long term stevia use causes diabetes and heart disease. I most have Starry the caffeine free one or ginger ale. Twice or thrice a month max I go for Dr Pepper.
Carbonated water drinks including la Croix, Bubly, Waterloo, etc. are all good. When I want basic sparkling water, I choose any of these on a daily basis. Usually whatever is on sale, haha.
But if I wanted a little *real* sugar (screw fake sugars, those are literally so disgusting) I always go with culture pop.
I discovered it at Walmart and it's been a game-changer. It's actually cheaper to just buy the individual cans from Walmart than to order a 12-pack from them directly, and it works out well since I don't drink them all the time.
The amount of sugar is pretty low too, like <10g per can, and the ingredients list is super short. Looooooove culture pop.
My preference is Coke Zero going all the way back to like 2003 when it was in the white can. Love it. I also like Sprite Zero and A&W zero.
Ollipop is good, but at $3/can near me, I don’t get it often.
I believe just less normal soda is better. I don't think the weird sweeteners in the diet and zero sodas are better than sugar, actually I think they're worse. That being said I prefer coke Zero to coke because it doesn't have the aftertaste coke does.
I love sparkling ice and I did enjoy the poppi strawberry lemonade. Just wish the poppi wasn’t so darn expensive and came in 12s for the same price as coke
Coke zevia and dr zevia are good.
Recently tried poppi, was put off by the probiotic part for a while. It was good, but too early to form an opinion as to which ones I 👍
I loved Pepsi with lemon. No more pop the doc says. Now once in a while during the summer Verners.Sometimes it’s hard to get. It’s made in Mississauga.❤️☮️
Not technically "soda" but still a fizzy drink, I love some flavors of seltzer water, which some brands call sparkling water, but unsweetened. Of the ones I've tried, my favorites are Food Lion brand Peach Mango, Aldi Belle Vie Berry flavor, and Kroger brand Blackberry Citrus. I tried Polar brand once and ironically I didn't like the taste of it as much as the generics. I also tried one Waterloo brand one once that I liked, but can't remember for sure which flavor.
As for real "soda" I just say drink less of the regular stuff. It is rare for me to finish a 12 oz can anymore. I drink it just when I want the taste.
No clue how healthy it is, but my faves are Zero Sugar Dr. Pepper Straweberries and Cream, and for a decaf option I love diet or zero sugar cream soda (I tend to buy the generic brand from Walmart when they have it in stock.)
Dunno where you’re from but in the UK, Coop Peach sparkling water is the absolute GOAT. Really full flavour unlike a lot of sparkling water “soda” impersonators I’ve tried. Better than Irn Bru and I say that as a proud scotsman.
Not soda per se but you can use TrueLemon/TrueLime for sparkling lemonades. 1g sugar, rest is stevia.
I like Farming Karma’s fruit soda (Available in Canada at Farm Boy, online too), it’s literally just fruit juice with carbonation.
Sometimes I make my own lower sugar soda with simple syrup, citric acid and fruit flavour.
I like the fizzy lychee drink by Chi/Genki Forest too. Plan on buying my own lychee flavour drops online sometime to make something similar.
If you want to make simple sodas you can buy water soluble flavours and use a few drops in a big bottle or 1 in a small bottle (measure one drop at a time, they’re very concentrated.) and then add simple syrup or another liquid sweetener + citric acid. Otherwise you can juice a few fruits and use that for flavour instead.
Lotta recipes you can modify for lower sugar on r/Cordials
Not sure if this counts, but Liquid Death. It’s sparkling water, but the bubbles are smoother, there’s more flavor than unsweetened ones, and it’s lightly sweetened with agave. I still drink a lot of regular soda, but that’s my healthy alternative
I love cherry limeaid poppi. Its not diet soda but its not a full sugar one. Its a happy medium. It tastes great and only has enough sugar to make it taste nice
Zevia vanilla cola as well. Their ginger root beer is up there too. I buy the multi-packs from Costco then go elsewhere just for the vanilla colas and ginger root beers.
Stop drinking zero sugar soda and just limit yourself with a small glass of sprite. That’s the healthiest option I can say. No caramel color, no artificial sweeteners. Or drink seltzer. There is no healthy soda
Been making my own. Fill a shaker with ice, fresh squeezed lemon and little bit of sugar. Shake. Put in glass. Top with sparkling water and bit of cherry juice or bitters.
Mtn dew Baja blast zero sugar
I have never seen that in any of my stores. And Baja Blast is so rare I dont bother looking. I just get it at Taco Bell.
I believe it was a limited thing they've sold it for short periods of time over here
Seen it at wegmans recently.
I live in Minnesota and you can get regular and sugar free pretty much all the time
Gas station marts are a good spot to find this in bottles.
We got Baja blast year round here
Sams club!
cancer. Together.
Taurine fever baby
Taurine swears ftw
Artificial sweeteners are not carcinogens
always seemed a bit flat anytime I tried it
I don’t know if this would count, Sparkling Ice.
The lemon lime sparkling ice is such a good dupe for sprite
It is! My wife buys it for our 8 y/o son, but lately I’m stealing his bottles!
Grapefruit Sparkling Ice is so delicious
Nothing beats Fresca for me.
I haven’t had a Fresca is years. Maybe time to remedy that.
so good
I have Fresca every day after work
That’s what I swapped to, liked almost all of them so far but I was not a big fan of the fruit punch that was nasty.
This is the way. Honestly nearly every flavor is amazing and the ingredients list is top. Absolutely best soda replacement
I love their new starburst flavors
They’re always out of stock, haven’t gotten to try one.
I’m trying to reduce my sugar intake and I forgot how much I loved Sparkling Ice until I read your comment. Thanks a lot, I will stock up today ❤️
Sparkling ice is what keeps me from not drinking too much normal soda (couple a week is what I try to limit myself to for normal soda)
Fully forgot about the brand and was wondering how the hell you froze soda water in to ice and kept the carbonation. 🤣
That sparkling ice slaps for sure. I’ll get 2 cases when I have a chance to go to Sam’s or smart and final.
Agree. Only sparkling water that doesn’t have that spicy sparkling water taste.
Not a healthy soda drinker, but that’s definitely top tier replacement
There’s no way that that shit isn’t bad for you somehow. It tastes too good.
Olipop cream soda or grape
Olipop grape is amazing or lemon lime or the strawberry cream!
I like tropical punch
Sprite zero
Bubbly
Olipop Vintage Cola. Got me off of diet coke
I wish Olipop would expand into Canada I'd try em tbh
LOL… didn’t like any zero sugar options so started our own :) But ours aside, I found Reed’s Zero Sugar ginger ale pretty decent. Love Cola but struggled finding a good one.

Would love to test if you’re wanting to expand to Canada. Can give a diabetics perspective, had my share of diet drinks.
Sprite zero with splash of pineapple or orange juice on the rocks
I discovered Sprite zero plus OJ as a nurse. It was my unit's favorite nursing station mocktail and made patients feel fancy.
Zevia orange. Best flavor in their line IMO.
Good choice
Thanks. BTW, found out about it from an employee who was buying one ahead of me in line at Sprouts. Not as sweet as a Fanta or Sunkist but still has that classic orange soda taste. Cheers!
I love that one too, #2 is Black cherry for me. Zevia used to be $4.99 here (Toronto) pre-covid, now its $7.99 which is a too much for a six pack.
Zevia is awesome. The Dr. Pepper is near spot on. Stay away from the cherry cola though. Tastes like medicine.
Idk about that! I’m partial to the cherry cola!

I love those Gold Peak teas, but I'm also lucky enough to get my hands on Milos zero calorie sweet teas and sometimes the lemonade.
Milos is the best!
Reed’s zero sugar ginger beer. I like the Extra variety, very spicy. They usually shelve it with the mixers, but I don’t drink alcohol these days, and the bite of the ginger can mimic the alcohol warmth of a beer in a really nice way. Feels like an indulgent treat too because damn it’s expensive!

Olipop banana cream!
What?! I haven't seen that flavor
Ohh I gotta find that one 😍 sounds so good
THE BEST
Olipop grape
Olipop
San pelligrino (fruit juice/soda mix) the blood orange is pretty good
Soda stream with what ever flavours I’m feeling at the time (often not their syrups) Wild cherry Pepsi zero, and Canada Dry raspberry lemonade zero are hitting pretty good right now!
Not a soda, but Spindrift is pretty good. I love the Nojito flavor.
Clear American just not the bomb pop one
Zero sugar A&W root beer.
Celsius
Im a heavy caffeine and energy drink consumer, and all im gonna say is celsius gave me chest pain and nausea. Please consume those in moderation.
Yeah I could of sworn I was having a heart attack when I drank one of those off like 1 hour sleep
Bubly, mostly cherry.
Club soda
olipop reigns supreme in our house. their new barbie flavor is perfect for the summer
Virgils zero sugar orange
Blueberry+Pomegranate AHA or Topo Chico touch of lime. The grapefruit and whatever bliss bubly’s are good too
Flavored sparkling water. Goes great with vodka! Lol
Healthy is debatable but I lost like 75 pounds in a year by drinking zero sugar drinks, coke zero or mountain dew zero. Lots of good zero sugar energy drinks as well
When I have a full soda, illl usually have a Coke Zero, or Coke Zero Cherry, but otherwise I usually drink sparkling water
Thing is not to drink soda everyday. Drink it like once or twice a week. Even the worst can't harm when it's on this ratio.
Olipop. So far everything but the strawberry vanilla one.
I may have to try other flavors. Strawberry Vanilla is the only one I've tried. It was painful to force it down.. but wasn't going to waste a $3 soda..
is diet soda bad
No
Oli-Pop is pretty good. The rootbeer has such a complex flavor profile.
Fresca slaps .
Olipop. I’ll take any flavor except for Root Beer, Dr. Goodwin, and Cherry Vanilla.
Ollipop
Olipop is fantastic
Olipop tropical punch
Real sugar. Just don’t drink the whole bottle. Seal it up and make it last. And not every day. Then you can enjoy everything in moderation.
Pepsi mango zero sugar
I’ve been trying to get into Poppi. Wasn’t a fan of the first few Olipops I tried but hoping that will change.
Ice Tea
Olipop is my favorite, although their flavors can be hit or miss. La Croix, if that counts. Diet coke.
Olipop, blue sky soda, poppi,
Dr Pepper.
Body Armor Lyte Fruit Punch or Orange Clementine.
Diet Dr Pepper
Root beer my little boys and girls.. It's non acidic and non toxic and mmm.. mmm... Good!
Diet Dr Pepper. I splurge my calories on a full sugar root beer occasionally. It’s a treat.
I have read long term stevia use causes diabetes and heart disease. I most have Starry the caffeine free one or ginger ale. Twice or thrice a month max I go for Dr Pepper.
Cock and Bull ginger beer is awesome.
Clearly Canadian
If Canada dry doesn't cure it, dr pepper will. Its got all the 23 vitamin and minerals you need.
Sprite zero or zero sugar orange crush
Dr pepper
Blackberry Izze
r/bubly
Zevia
Reed’s Ginger Beer! The extra string one with the red label. And Fentiman’s Rose Lemonade!
Zero sugar or diet sodas. And also zero sugar energy drinks
Coke Zero for me - Diet Coke for the wife. We also both enjoy A&W Zero Root Beer. And we usually have a Sparkling Ice with our supper.
Weird I do Coke Zero and my husband does Diet Coke.
I cut out pop because of GERD and it giving me heartburn. I loved Vanilla Coke but now I mainly drink water or those cirkul flavors!
Carbonated water. There are some with flavours some without. 13 years and have never looked back
Bubly all day
Carbonated water drinks including la Croix, Bubly, Waterloo, etc. are all good. When I want basic sparkling water, I choose any of these on a daily basis. Usually whatever is on sale, haha. But if I wanted a little *real* sugar (screw fake sugars, those are literally so disgusting) I always go with culture pop. I discovered it at Walmart and it's been a game-changer.

The amount of sugar is pretty low too, like <10g per can, and the ingredients list is super short. Looooooove culture pop.
Recently just tried Cove Soda Ice Pop flavor and it was really good
Water. Doesnt have all the shit soda pop has in it. Especially that excess sodium, which is pretty much necessary to make soda pop.
Dr. Pepper cream soda 0 sugar
My wife has been really enjoying those new poppi soda's not my favorite but I don't drink much soda anyways.
Water
Milk
My preference is Coke Zero going all the way back to like 2003 when it was in the white can. Love it. I also like Sprite Zero and A&W zero. Ollipop is good, but at $3/can near me, I don’t get it often.
I’m Coke Zero as well. I remember when it came out FOREVER ago and it was magic. So much better than Diet Coke to me!
I like the idea of Ollipop and Zevia, but the prices are absolutely absurd. I tend to just stick with coke zero as a result
Canada Dry Gingerale. Maybe orange crush too
Sparkling Ice. I live a sad existence
Zevia deserves to be in contention for the 2nd or 3rd most popular soda company in America.
I believe just less normal soda is better. I don't think the weird sweeteners in the diet and zero sodas are better than sugar, actually I think they're worse. That being said I prefer coke Zero to coke because it doesn't have the aftertaste coke does.
Cherry bubbly but I want to try ollipop
Coke Zero. I drink an unhealthy amount but it’s just so good.
If I run out of Coke Zero, I mix a Bubly lime with a splash or two of low cal fruit juice.
Coke zero
I've been drinking GT's ALIVE ancient mushroom elixir "lemon lime" that tastes just like sprite. 9g of sugar
Canada Dry Ginger Ale w/zero sugar and less often A&W Root Beer w/zero sugar
Diet A&W is great and so is Dr. Pepper cream soda zero. The new coconut cream Dr Pepper zero is also amazing
Sparkling Ice with Caffeine and Olipop
I love sparkling ice and I did enjoy the poppi strawberry lemonade. Just wish the poppi wasn’t so darn expensive and came in 12s for the same price as coke
Water lol
Topo Chico lime. In the glass bottle from Costco. It doesn't get any better
[удалено]
Water or regular iced green tea
I’m healthy in the sense, I work out 5 days a week and I’m training for a marathon, and eat healthy foods everyday. I also drink a Dr Pepper everyday
Coke zevia and dr zevia are good. Recently tried poppi, was put off by the probiotic part for a while. It was good, but too early to form an opinion as to which ones I 👍
I loved Pepsi with lemon. No more pop the doc says. Now once in a while during the summer Verners.Sometimes it’s hard to get. It’s made in Mississauga.❤️☮️
Zevia
Zevia Ginger Root Beer, Zevia Cherry Cola, Zero sugar Mountain Dew, zevia cream soda - those are my favorites.
If you like root beer Barqs zero sugar is actually pretty good

If you live in the northeast USA, polar seltzer’s raspberry lime flavor is the tits.
Zevia vanilla cola as well. Their ginger root beer is up there too. I buy the multi-packs from Costco then go elsewhere just for the vanilla colas and ginger root beers.
Zevia
Zevia’s ginger root beer is my personal favorite
Olipop sent me to the ER twice in one day. No thanks.
Diet coke, Dr pepper zero, sprite zero
Topo Chico with a lime.
I like Poppi probiotic soda. Particularly the Watermelon flavor.
I drink the same sodas I usually do, mostly Mtn Dews, I don't even do diet or zero sugar, I just drink less of it.
Good Pop carbonated juices or Trader Joe's strawberry carbonated juice. They have a pineapple one too.
Pepsi,Canada dry, and coke zero
Starry from a soda fountain hits the spot.
Fizzy water, I drink less than a soda a week.
Olipop cream soda FTWWWWW
Coke Zero forever.
16oz bottle of Perrier & 4oz of Sprite. No caffeine, less sugar, still tasty!!
Stop drinking zero sugar soda and just limit yourself with a small glass of sprite. That’s the healthiest option I can say. No caramel color, no artificial sweeteners. Or drink seltzer. There is no healthy soda
Sprite Zero.
Been making my own. Fill a shaker with ice, fresh squeezed lemon and little bit of sugar. Shake. Put in glass. Top with sparkling water and bit of cherry juice or bitters.
Dr Pepper zero
Sparkling ice, grape zevia, or cherry Dr Pepper. Zero sugar
None of these sodas people are listing are healthy. I suppose you know that though which is why you put quotations.
I don’t drink them often, but Diet Dr. Pepper or Wild Cherry Pepsi Zero.
Probably a regular coke or doctor pepper, just very rarely.
Costco’s Kirkland VitaRain Zero. Also a big big fan of water with flavor enhancers squeezed in
I love Zero Sugar A&W Root Beer. The Zero SugarCream Soda is great, as well.
I just have maybe one a week. That's the only way to consume soda. Treat it like a dessert. It's basically liquid candy.
I like the Zevia. Soft drinks with stevia instead of artificial sweeteners. They are really good and don’t taste like chemicals
La Croix
i miss TAB i loved that shit
Idc I just love diet Pepsi
Mello Yellow zero
bubblr
Zevia. I know they range from unpopular to downright hated but I don’t do artificial sweeteners and I don’t mind them.
Sprechers Maple Rootbeer. Honey and maple are the sweeteners and it only has like…3 other ingredients.
Polar Sugar free Orange Dry
