ZeviaZero Calorie Soda, Ginger Root Beer, 12 Fl Oz Cans (Pack of 24)

I haven't drank diet soda for many years and back then it was the nasty aspartame stuff. Those drinks are an acquired taste but once you're off the corn syrup it's hard to drink a `regular' soda. Zevia sodas also have a period where you'll have to get accustomed to the taste. This is the third flavor of Zevia I've had up until the cola flavor I just got my hands on it was my favorite. I was getting used to the stevia sweetened zing on earlier flavors of orange and black cherry before I got the root beer. It tasted really good to me when I first started drinking it but it took my wife a bit more time to realize it was good. She had stayed away from Zevia after tasting the orange which she did not like. Zevia sodas still have a little aftertaste (the zing I refereed to above) that kind of sits with you for a few seconds but the longer you drink it the more used to it you get.However, there are two major problems with ordering Zevia products. First, they're expensive. At just over a dollar a can they are pricey, no other way to describe it. The second, is availability. Amazon is really having some issues with keeping Zevia flavors in stock with Prime shipping. The third party sellers all have exuberant shipping prices bringing your case of soda to over fifty dollars. I've emailed Zevia about this and did get a response from them. I hope Amazon can keep it stocked and Zevia can keep them supplied. It's a good product but it's been frustrating trying to order due to Amazon's stock. Due to the high price tag I put it on a monthly schedule to save 15%. It helps but I wonder if Amazon will have it ready to go each month.The Zevia Root Beer is a very good tasting soda. I'll definitely continue to drink it if I can afford to and Amazon has it available.

My children love zevia. It taste good and has none of the ingredients that aren’t good for you. We get many of the flavors.

The product is excellent. My recent purchase came with a ridiculous shipping & handling charge which I thought I had deleted, thus eliminating the purchase itself. A subsequent e-mail said that the shipment was on its way (which I have now received). Its summary in the statement said that the S & H was $108. & change. I replied to Nutricity as directed and said that I wanted the product, but that the S & H was obviously a mistake, and would they kindly either eliminate the S & H or charge me a reasonable amount for same. In reply they stated that I had agreed by the online order to pay for the S & H stated in the order (the total order of which I thought I had deleted because of the ridiculous amount of S & H), and therefore was responsible for the total payment.Is this the way matters are going to be? Is there no recourse for me?As stated to them and now to you==I love the product, but the S & H was obviously a mistake. Please do what you can to remedy this situation.Yours truly,Nicholas T.

not too heavy

I like the taste and that it doesn't affect my blood sugar!

This is not zero calorie nor actually sweetened with stevia! This is sweetened with a sugar alcohol, with a little stevia added. Each can has 50 calories and for a diabetic this stuff raises your blood sugar almost as bad as any regular sweetened with sugar soda. And the sugar alcohol gives you horrible gas. A big thumbs down to their false advertising.

I bought this product as an alternative to other diet sodas (the "big two" will remain nameless) mainly because I wanted to get away from the aspartame artificial sweetener. I've heard "bad things" about aspartame but after doing my own research on it I couldn't find any conclusive research or studies proving it was as bad as people claimed. There are tons of sites that say all these bad things it does to you, but nobody can give me a single study proving any of what they say. I tend to think this thing against aspartame is more of a conspiracy then anything else.But regardless, I decided to lower my intake of aspartame and try this Zevia, since it's sweetened with Stevia. The taste is certainly lacking and while it doesn't taste horrible, when comparing it to the major players in the industry - it stinks. A very bland taste and there is very little carbonation.Did I mention it gave me horrible gas and bloating? You know the kind that sits with you all day long and just gives you an unsettled stomach? The reason for this is that it has a sugar alcohol in it called "erythritol" and if you know anything about sugar alcohols, they almost always give you an upset stomach, gas, and/bloating. Sugar alcohols are what those sugar free, low carb chocolates have in them. And while wikipedia states that this sugar alcohol "shouldn't" be as bad as the other more notorious ones, like xylitol, because none of it "supposedly" reaches the large intestine...let's just say I would disagree.If aspartame is so bad for you then why is that these products sweetened with stevia cause discomfort in some people? You'd think the "bad" product would be the one where you actually notice the side effects. At $1 a can (compare that to less then 30 cents a can for other cola brands), coupled with the potential unwanted discomfort, I think you might wanna stay away from this product.
