POPPI Sparkling Prebiotic Soda w/Gut Health, Beverages w/Apple Cider Vinegar, Seltzer Water & Fruit Juice, Low Calorie & Low Sugar Drinks, Fun Favorites Variety Pack, 12oz (12 Pack)

Standard soda tends to come loaded with sugar, and the alternatives, diet soft drinks, seltzer, kombucha, juice, coconut water, tonic water, sports drinks and energy drinks, all ask for some kind of trade-off in flavour or format. This variety pack takes a different route. Each 12oz can combines seltzer water, real fruit juice and unfiltered apple cider vinegar, with 5g of sugar or less and 25 calories or less per can. The apple cider vinegar sits quietly in the background, so the fruit flavour leads. The Fun Favorites Variety Pack ships as 12 cans, sized for a lunch, a desk drawer or a bag on the way out the door.

One note on what this is not: it is a low sugar soda, not a sugar-free one, and the pack is a fixed assortment, so individual flavours cannot be chosen or swapped.

For storage, keep the cans refrigerated or in a cool, dark place and chill fully before opening, since the seltzer base means carbonation holds better cold. Once opened, a can does not keep well, so it is best finished in a single sitting rather than resealed and saved. Because the pack arrives as a fixed assortment, it works best for households or offices where more than one person will be reaching for cans, since the variety gets used naturally rather than leaving unwanted flavours to sit.

When comparing this kind of drink to other better-for-you sodas, the main things worth checking are the actual sugar count per can, whether the carbonation comes from seltzer or forced carbonation, and what the flavouring source is, since some products in this category rely on natural flavour concentrates rather than real juice. The 12-can format is a practical size for a trial run before committing to a larger order, and the individual 12oz cans travel easily, fitting standard can holders and most bag side pockets without needing a separate container.
