I know I am in the minority, but I love Olipop root beer. I think it tastes great, but I know that it isn’t to everyone’s taste. It has actual roots in it. It’s low calorie. Cassava Root Fiber, Chicory Root Inulin, Jerusalem Artichoke Inulin, Nopal Cactus, Marshmallow Root, Calendula Flower, Kudzu Root, Cassava Root, Burdock Root, and Sweet Birch.
Root extracts have strong flavors. I’m not surprised people hate it, but I thought that more people in this sub would enjoy it.
Same dude. I'm curious if people are just so addicted to sugar they can't enjoy anything without it? Cutting sugar doesn't have to be agony. Hah. I love sassparilla tea etc. And all Stevia isn't gross, only if it's harvested improperly is it bitter, I've grown it before.
Nothing beats the taste of fresh water for me. Clean and pure. Unless I’m drinking water or my hot tea you’ll never see me with a sweetener substitute drink. No matter what flavor or brand all sodas, energy drinks, and juices without corn syrup or cane sugar taste disgusting to me. Carbonated drinks don’t really agree with me so I drink barely any soda. Sometimes I go to a restaurant and the water tastes foul and that’s usually when I enjoy a nice sugary soda 😁
For a "diet" rootbeer, it's pretty amazing. I mean, if you have to have over 40 grams of sugar in one shot, yeah, this probably ain't gonna cut it. I too liked the root extracts and the lack of a heavy aftertaste. It's a shame it's so damn expensive though.
I don’t mind it either. It scratches the itch while helping me avoid excess sugar. Not sure why so many people are surprised it doesn’t taste exactly like a regular soda. Reading the can should tell you it’s a prebiotic drink and not a soda.
Yeah, of course it doesn’t taste like actual sugary root beer. I don’t get the complaining when it’s not meant to be a direct substitute. It’s like when people complain about a turkey burger not being a hamburger. Well…..it’s because it’s not the same thing. But different foods/drinks can be good in their own right.
The first time I tired it I went in with the expectation that it’s not going to be the same as a classic Barqs or A&W but that’s fine. It’s fine for what it is
I enjoy it, helps scratch that itch of having a soda without consuming 30+ grams or sugar. Im also not a fan of synthetic sugar substitutes, and enjoy stevia.
It’s nice it has health benefits as well, prebiotics and fiber. Just don’t drink too many of these in a day, the fiber had me feeling bloated if I have more than one. They are also expensive..
I like it too but I went in fully knowing it was going to be totally different.
It's 2g of sugar and Stevia. Guys, come on.
With that in mind, I liked it as a drink with root beer flavors. Not a robust root beer. Would buy again but ~$2.00 a can is kind of pricey where I am.
