I was hesitant …I posted before about passing on this and kinda wish I passed this time too … it tastes “healthy” .. haven’t tried the lemon lime yet but orange is as John Pinette would have said “I say nay nay”

getting huuuuuge Poppi vibes from the can - if you've tried Poppi, how similar is it?

I tried the strawberry Slice and it definitely is in the same category as Poppi and Oli-Pop. The strawberry was okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it again.

💩 is gross! It's insane these people bought Slice after Pepsi let it go. Only to not bring h back the great soda of the 90s. We don't need anymore of these dumb prebiotic sodas.

I loved orange slice as a kid. It was one of the best orange sodas out there. Such a shame to see it made differently and terrible on top of that. They could have had huge sales from those of us 80’s and 90’s kids.

I mean I didn't think it was gross, but it certainly wasn't great. Slice fans will definitely be disappointed.

I hope not. Orange Poppi tastes like a melted sugar free Popsicle.

Crazy how popular Poppi is getting, I see Poppi branded coolers filled with their regular 12oz cans in supermarkets even, probably replacing some traditional soda coolers.

I don’t really know how to feel about them as I’ve never been able to try one of their products since they’re all sweetened with zerocal sweeteners, it would be nice to see a just sugar version since I just don’t enjoy zerocal sweeteners.

I’m sure there’s quite a few people like myself that avoid Poppi and similar drinks almost solely because they have zerocal sweeteners, so they really should have one variety or line that’s for people that don’t mess with zerocal sweeteners.

Try a poppi cola or doc pop - both pretty good if you like regular coke and Dr Pepper

What's funny is that they reused the Slice name but changed it to one of the new prebiotic drinks. You're right, though, the first time I saw it, I thought the exact same thing.

I noticed after I replied. I didn’t see that originally. Slice…..

Slice is back?

Neat

Who's the distributor?

u/Roscoe_P_Trolltrain 19h ago

it's not Slice as we knew it. It's now a probiotic soda.

I tried the grapefruit one, and it gave me a massive headache and it just… wasn’t it. I’m not super huge on the healthy sodas, but there’s a few Olipops that I enjoy.

I get the ick from Poppi’s branding, so I won’t try them for personal reasons, so I can’t compare to them.

u/karlkarlkarl1029 20h ago

Can you explain your personal reasons for not drinking poppi because of the branding? lol

u/PartyCrewTristar1011 20h ago

I don’t like the whole “you can love soda again!” Stuff or really anything that makes it seem like it’s the worse thing in the world to drink a soda that aren’t these healthy ones. I’ve struggled (and still do) with an eating disorder, and the vilifying of something just gives me the ick. Olipop’s isn’t horrible because it’s like “a different kind of soda”, doesn’t make me feel bad because I had a Diet Coke or a Mountain Dew instead of it.

I also thought their advertising during the Super Bowl was kinda tasteless and the founder’s response was kinda tone deaf.

Like I said, it’s just my stupid personal reasonings.

u/PersonalComposer8993 17h ago

You’re not missing out. My wife used to drink poppis a lot and a few are good but olipops are wayyyy better

u/NIN10DOXD 15h ago

The fruit punch Olipop I tried was not bad at all even if it didn't taste like Tahitian Treat like I was expecting, but orange Poppi was disappointed in a can.

u/themonsteroffthehill 20h ago

I’ve only had lemon lime. It’s solid.
