What You Should Know

You'd spot this brightly labeled 4‑pack in the refrigerated drinks aisle or on a grocery run when you want a fizzy, lower-calorie alternative to classic soda. It carries a nostalgic, soda-like vibe while being marketed as a 'healthy' functional drink (prebiotic, apple cider vinegar) rather than an indulgent treat. The presence of agave inulin, stevia and 'natural flavors' and the consistent fizzy mouthfeel point to industrial formulation and processing typical of ultra-processed beverages.
