What You Should Know

You'll find this in the refrigerated health-beverage or craft soda aisle — an easy grab for someone who wants the fizz and fruit punch nostalgia of a soda with a health-forward twist. It reads playful and nostalgic yet marketed as 'gut-friendly' and low-sugar, offering a sweet, bubbly mouthfeel with added prebiotic fibers. The long list of fractionated fibers, concentrates, cassava syrup, stevia and natural flavors points to an industrially formulated, shelf-stable product with engineered texture and flavor typical of ultra-processed items.
