What You Should Know

You'd spot this on the beverage shelf or in the chilled drinks section next to sparkling waters, kombuchas and functional tonics — a fizzy, ginger-lemon 'prebiotic soda' marketed as a healthier alternative to traditional sodas. It delivers a nostalgic soda-like fizz and bright citrus-ginger flavor, but the long ingredient list (inulin blends, syrups, natural flavors and flavor extracts) and engineered formulation point to industrial processing and a manufactured mouthfeel.
