Zevia Zero Sugar Soda, Rainbow Variety Pack, 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.

I have these on subscription! An amazing and healthy alternative to other diet colas. I have to drink it from a yeti cup, though. Why? Because it is clear in color and my brain wants to mess with the taste. If you drink it from a cup where you don’t see the color, tastes just like diet colas!

finally got them in god shape, usually have 1-2 damaged but this time they aced it. Great flavor, smooth and bubbly! no sugar, no calorie, no energy difference or shakes, clear in color so no dyes, great value

As much as I loathe drinking air, and usually zevia is mostly carbonation, you take a drink and the entire volume of that drink turns into bubbles/carbonation, leaving no liquid behind, so I usually pour the drink into a cup and back into the can anyway, so that I'm drinking a _drink_ and not flavored _air,_ but even so, these were flatter than even me doing that, almost completely flat. Perhaps I just got a bad batch. (That's a terrible run-on sentence. I haven't had my zevia, today; my brain is running on fumes.) Update: the amount of carbonation is inconsistent, sometimes I can only pour it into a cup and I know that pouring it back would make it flat but the problem of excessive carbonation remains. Whether I buy their energy drinks or their sodas, most of the time I have to moderate the carbonation. This issue is less prevalent among their sodas yet still there most of the time, though obviously as I previously stated some cans are flat while others are excessively carbonated. I always have to have a "taste test" when I open a can to see how much work I'm going to have to do. That being said, I enjoy the flavors well enough. The cherry is disgustingly strong so I mix it with a normal cola (I buy colas on the side since they're my favorite so it's not a problem to do) and the cream soda is disgustingly sweet. I usually mix it with a little bit of X.O. just to temper the sweetness. The root beer is borderline too sweet, might tempter that one with vsop if I'm not feelin how sweet it is but still want it. But obviously all this really chalks up to personal taste. I know my little sister loves, adores tons of carbonation but she said she didn't like these because they were too sweet. I like them well enough even though they need to be tempered. I will hound this page until the 12-flavor Rainbow Variety comes back because I want to try it so bad why is it the ONLY one not available???

The soda is great, and because it uses Stevia it has zero impact on blood sugar! My problem is that it is always badly boxed, with the box being significantly larger. The packaging is so loose inside that the 24 pack packaging itself is ALWAYS damaged. I can't pick up the soda without it falling apart and the soda going all over and often bursting a can. The crumpled paper inside the box is absolutely useless because of the weight of the soda and the very minimal amount of the paper. So I recommend the soda 100% but not how it is shipped!
