I was even reluctant to try highly Instagrammed flavored waters because of their hype—and, as a fan of bold flavors, most of them weren't for me. Unfortunately, this meant I was continuously reaching for other less healthy beverages and was stuck in a cycle of feeling guilty about what I was putting in my body and rationalizing my bad, sugar-filled decisions. To make things worse, thanks to an endless supply of Coke in the office, I adopted a not-so-healthy soda obsession. The noise of cracking open a can sends a refreshing tingle down my spine, and the fizzy bubbles that slightly tickle my lips instantly put me in a better mood—so much so that I’ve started referring to soda as “happy juice.” (Embarrassing, I know, but the stress is real, y’all.) So needless to say, I was apprehensive to try the retro soda–inspired Olipop, but I was also cautiously optimistic about the idea of a healthy and tasty soda alternative. Now, more than a year after my first sip, boy, am I glad I gave it a shot.
While I was drawn to this prebiotic drink because I have been trying to live a healthier lifestyle this year, it really was the allure of Olipop’s packaging that first made me ignore my Amazon (and thus Whole Foods) aversion, drive to the store, and pick up these cans as soon as humanly possible. The fridge display was fully stocked with these incredibly photogenic cans, and I couldn’t stop myself from grabbing one of every flavor available before heading to the checkstand. And try as I might, I can’t stop thinking about the tasty flavors and imagining what Olipop’s newest sparkling tonics might taste like, so I find myself driving to the store time and time again to quench my craving. Here’s what I really think about drinking Olipop.
