What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated section or stacked in the soda aisle and it’s the kind of zero‑calorie ginger ale people grab as a lighter swap for regular soda. It carries a familiar, slightly nostalgic soda vibe while being marketed as a 'cleaner' or healthier option because of stevia and "natural" flavors. The fizzy mouthfeel plus ingredients like citric acid, stevia extract and flavor/ginger extracts point to industrial flavor engineering and shelf-stable processing typical of ultraprocessed beverages.
