It's amazing that this series on CNBC highlights all these founders and brands, most with more than a hundred million in revenue, and I've never heard of any of them.

I’m a soda drinker and honestly it’s one of my favorites- the Vintage Cola is the best!! And frankly, I’d grab it before a regular soda any day- if it weren’t for the price 😅

A $35 12-pack. Yeah, I can imagine $20M/month in sales.

I love Olipop. Its kind of pricey, so I dont drink it too often. But as someone who has gut health issues, this product absolutely appeals to me.

I’m in love with Oliopop! Obviously they taste kinda funky, there’s 12+ flavors and I only like 2 of them (Cola & Orange) but as someone who has quit sugar for 3 years, being able to have the occasional soda back in my life for only 1/10th the sugar in a regular can of Coke has been such a delight!

I honestly had stopped drinking soda as an adult but Olipop hits the spot and you dont feel nearly as guilty. The flavors are pretty spot on for the most part

I love Olipop! Orange and strawberry vanilla are my favorites. Wish it were a bit more affordable for everyone, though.

It's such a smart product! It sort of covers across several different types of beverages: beer, cider, sparkling water, wine, soda and more. I can see many people opting for this instead! Seems like a good mixer for drinks as well!

I drink Olipop every day. I’m so hooked. I started out drinking the root beer one then when I tried the strawberry vanilla one & that’s the only one I drink now. Every single day for lunch!!! I LOVE it. It’s usually out of stock though everywhere I go I always have to wait for the right time bc they SELL OUT it’s crazy.

I hope this so soda becomes as big as Coca-cola. They need to bring this to Mexico and save all the people dying from drinking so much Coca-cola, there is an ongoing crisis of diabetes and other serious health related issues because of it. I am not even a soda drinker and I had to stop drinking alcohol for health related reasons but I love treating myself to one of these sodas. Thank you Olipop for creating a product with purpose!

I freaking love their Grape flavor! It’s always sold out in the stores so I have to order it online!

I stopped drinking soda several years ago. I’m so glad there’s a healthier alternative now!

Like most comments here, I think they're great but pricey. I'm okay with that as I don't drink them often.
I'll always appreciate that years ago, when I ordered a variety sample pack off their website (they weren't sold at Target and grocery stores then), they refunded me. I filled out a survey talking about which flavors I liked/didn't like, and was sent a refund for every flavor I didn't like soon after with a message thanking me for filling out the survey. I still only like 4 of their flavors, but I'll always come back to them as I appreciate the company (& the fact that my stomach doesn't hurt after drinking them like with soda).

I discovered this brand last month and am HOOKED! My fav flavors are Ginger Lemon and Tropical Punch (guava and passion fruit, yum!). I find the original flavors are tastier than their OG soda knockoffs like Vintage Cola or Rootbeer (probably because you can try them without expectations or something to compare it to). I’m excited to try the seasonal Apple Crisp. Sometimes they’re on sale at Whole Foods or Target, so I try to grab them there. Hopefully they find a way to lower the price point in the future because it is pretty pricey. $36+ shipping for a 12-pack is just out of reach for most families.

I first discovered these last year and they’re amazing, my favs are cream soda (amazing), tropical punch, and strawberry vanilla.

Your words were so powerful, and I'm excited to finally start my trading career. Thank you for the encouragement!

I've tried them, but people really shouldn't drink more than one per day. I don't know if any users have experienced it, but over-consuming pre-biotics can cause issues if you aren't aware of your body.
