What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated craft soda or functional beverage section, or grab one from a cooler at a summer picnic or brunch. It sells a playful, slightly nostalgic soda vibe with a ‘healthier’ twist—lightly fizzy, bright citrus-mango notes and a faint chili tang that feels adventurous yet familiar. Despite organic juices and live cultures, the use of juice-from-concentrate, natural flavors, citric acid, added color and industrial carbonation points to an industrially formulated product typical of ultra-processed beverages.
