poppi – orange flavored

poppi (or poopy depending on who you ask), has taken the world by storm. A prebiotic soda with only 5g of sugar. I’m not a big soda guy myself because of the high sugar, so this is a good alternative. Or is it? Read on to find out.

When I close my eyes and drink this my mind instantly thinks “Orange Fanta.” It’s very carbonated and soda-ie. However, the more I drink it the more I notice how the orange flavoring doesn’t taste pleasant. It’s a non-ripe orange with an overwhelming flavor profile. That is, someone screaming bloody murder in my face that they love oranges. Even my burps have that metallic orange note.

I have more in the fridge and hoping I feel more inclined to drink them in the future. Maybe I’m just too hyperaware at the moment to enjoy such a beverage as they’re usually drank while I’m distracted by other activities.
