Zevia Zero Sugar Soda, Orange, 12 oz Cans (24-Pack) – Naturally Sweetened, Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, Vegan

As a software engineer who’s always looking for healthier alternatives, I picked up the Zevia Zero Sugar Soda Rainbow Variety Pack to see if it could satisfy my occasional sweet tooth without the sugar crash. I’ve been drinking these pretty regularly for about three weeks now, usually in the afternoons when I need a little pick-me-up while working from home, and sometimes with dinner. The main thing that sold me on these was the zero sugar claim, and honestly, they deliver on that. I was a bit skeptical about "naturally sweetened," but the taste is surprisingly good, not overly artificial or syrupy like some diet drinks I've tried. The variety pack is fantastic for trying out different flavors; Cream Soda and Cola are definitely my standouts. I haven't noticed any weird aftertaste, which is a huge win for me. They seem to carbonate well in the cans too, no flat issues so far. Durability isn't really a factor for soda, but the cans arrived in good condition, no dents or anything. One of the biggest decision points for me was whether it would actually taste like soda and not just flavored water, and Zevia really nails that. The flavors are distinct and pretty spot on for their soda counterparts. They mix fine with my usual spirits if I’m having a weekend cocktail, no clashing flavors. Performance-wise, it's a soda, it’s refreshing and fizzy. Pros: The taste is genuinely good for a zero-sugar option, no artificial sweetener funk. The variety pack is excellent for sampling. It’s nice knowing it’s naturally sweetened. Cons: Some of the fruitier flavors, like the Orange, were a little less impactful for my personal taste, a bit too subtle perhaps. And honestly, the price point is a tad higher than conventional sodas, but that’s expected for a niche product. I’d say this is perfect for anyone trying to cut down on sugar, diabetics, or just folks who are health-conscious and don’t want to sacrifice flavor entirely. If you’re someone who expects a super-intense, sugary punch from your soda, you might find these a bit milder, but that’s the point, right? It’s a solid alternative for those of us who want something that tastes good and is better for us.

Received in a timely manner!!! I like this Soda brand better than the others I've tried!!! Only thing is once you get to the bottom of the can the drink gets bitter!!! Otherwise, it's a good drink product!!!

The kids would like root beer occasionally and when we break down to give them a treat this one is on the top of the list. I try not to give them a lot of things with weird food coloring or additives that could hurt the kidneys and this fits the ticket. This tastes better than most root beer without the weird colors or ingredients of other root beer. No caffeine, no sugar, doesn’t make your tummy sore. However Amazon packed this and a bunch of heavy stuff in one box. It was difficult for me to lift the box, and I have no problem lifting heavy things, so I think it could have made it really difficult for our delivery person. I could see how it could have hurt them, so I knocked one star off the review for that.

We have these on auto ship because they are my favorite. Saves me money and that they come right to the house is a bonus. Such a great alternative to soda, none of the fake stuff you find in the diet versions.

It does not taste like regular soda. Maybe more like sparkling water with a weird Tang to it that comes from the fake sugar. I'm sure it's healthy, and for some I'm sure it's just fine, but there's a lot of other sugar free alternatives that don't have the weird chemistry set flavor.
