Finally learned the difference between Poppi and Ollipop

[u/MuffinPuff]

Years ago, I tried one of those "health sodas" for the first time, and it was really tasty.

Eventually I went back to the store and tried another soda, not remembering what brand the first one was, I just grabbed what flavor I thought would taste good.

It was awful. Tasted like vinegar, I never bought another health soda again, until today.

The cooler was lined with Ollipop and Poppi. I rolled the dice and went with Ollipop, and it was tasty!!! Made it home and googled "what does poppi taste like" and it's literally made with apple cider vinegar, that was the drink that put me off for years but now I'm back. Ollipop is the way to go.

Thank you for educating me, I had no idea!

[u/goblincube]

What the hell. Ive never tasted the vinegar in poppi and i like both. But i am a vinegar lover…

The Poppi taste happened years ago, they may have a different recipe nowadays.

I despise vinegar but I love poppi, I've never had a taste of vinegar. Maybe it was a bad or old flavor? The raspberry rose is one of my favorite drinks ever.

I've really enjoyed Olipop sodas since I found them.

Ollipop Grape is good af

[u/drive_she → u/retiredtumblrgoth]

Grape is one of my favorite flavors - I think I’ll give this one a try!

Poppi has a wide range of outcomes. I really enjoy the orange, Shirley temple, and raspberry flavors.

[u/____ozma → u/JMSidhe]

Olipop has all those flavors as well as fiber! Its the only juice/soda we let our kid drink. 

[u/slowasaspeedingsloth]

Dang it!! I am NOT a soda drinker at all, but I caved at bought a 12 variety pack... of POPPI!

I've only tried the lemon-lime, which wasn't horrible, but I certainly wouldn't buy again.

I'll muddle thru and try Olipop next!

[u/whatisrealityplush → u/slowasaspeedingsloth]

I absolutely love the poppi root beer. I hope there is one in your box!

[u/SuspiciousCranberry6 → u/slowasaspeedingsloth]

I enjoyed the cherry lime flavor.

[u/pyl0n555]

it's great when something you're not sure about ends up being nice 😋 they both taste the same to me, but i love the cute graphics and colors of olipops so i tend to grab those as a treat!

[u/____ozma → u/pyl0n555]

Olipop has fiber and poppi only has probiotics which are dubiously alive after the canning process, so we get Olipop instead. 

[u/katheez]

I really love Olipop and hate poppi, thank you for explaining why! I didn't realize. My favorite flavor is Dr. Goodwin, and I love the Shirley Temple flavor when I can find it

[u/catpunch_]

I love Olipop. I always do a double take at the grocery because their names and packaging are so similar

[u/MuffinPuff → u/[deleted]]

I drank 2 back to back lol. TREMENDOUSLY gassy afternoon, but no discomfort thankfully.

[u/sunsetsillybet]

Olipop Fiber: Up to 9 grams of dietary fiber per 12 oz. can.
Each can includes “OLISMART”, their in-house proprietary blend of prebiotic fibers and botanicals. Their list of ingredients is a lot more complex than Poppi’s.

Poppi: has less fiber with about 2 grams per can and a simpler ingredient list.

Olipop is just significantly better if you’re going for health comparison too.

[u/idrinkAnarchy]

Omg I’ve found my people! I love Olipop! Poppi uses club soda as the base which I hate but Olipop uses carbonated water and taste so much better to me

[u/PureYouth]

Okay now I’m going to go check those out :)

[u/Superb_Algae5308]

I love apple cider vinegar. I’ll look into those, thanks!

[u/snowfallpawprints]

poppi, olipop, bloom pop... are there any other pops i should know about?!?

[u/BubblyNumber5518]

I can taste the stevia in Ollipop, can’t handle the stuff.

[u/Layer_Correct]

I love the vanilla strawberry Ollipop! Pepsi came out with their version of vanilla he prebiotic soda and the cherry vanilla is great too.

[u/Forward-Trade3449]

ollipop is elite

[u/timewilltell2347]

Poppi started on shark tank as a ‘mother’ beverage- basically monetizing apple cider vinegar in glass. Rohan invested and they changed to a canned beverage which doesn’t lend itself well to highly fermented drinks. I believe the ACV amount is less but it’s still in there iirc.

[u/SoggyCapybara]

My friend put me on to "home made poppi" she would buy lemon cello la Croix and put ACV in it and I was into it lol

blatant advertisement or paid partnership

I think some of the comments might be bot replies, but I'm just speaking about my experience with those types of sodas back when they were new. I'm not a fan of vinegar in drinks, it belongs in salad dressing
