What You Should Know

You'd spot this six‑pack in the beverage or refrigerated aisle and grab it for picnics, weekend brunches, or to elevate a casual get‑together. It feels indulgent and a bit nostalgic—like a grown‑up, Italian‑style soda with bright, fizzy refreshment. The added sugar, juice concentrates, natural flavors, color extract and carbonation indicate industrial formulation aimed at consistent color, flavor and bubbly texture, typical of ultra‑processed drinks.
