(12Pk) Poppi Sparkling Prebiotic Soda, Watermelon

Long story short, I was VERY excited to try this new flavor (cream soda flavor is one of my faves) and with all of their advertisements on instagram, it seemed like it was going to taste out of this world good! They truly sold me on the notion that the vanilla cream flavor would shine…I’m writing a review because if you’re like me and scoured around to find and try this new flavor- I’m here to say, I’m definitely disappointed :( the flavor was very underwhelming. It’s very light and almost nonexistent, it’s definitely not giving true “cream soda” flavor vibes…I recently tried the Olipop brand one in the interim, prior to being able to get my hands on this- and while I at the time didn’t love that one, now comparatively speaking, it’s much more flavorful and tastier than this one :/ I’m giving this 3 stars because while I wouldn’t say it’s satisfactory in the cream soda flavoring, it’s totally not undrinkable, and it’s not like it’s bad. But now that I’ve tried it, I definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to repurchase; and I would actually buy the olipop one over this one instead- meanwhile when I had the olipop one I felt like that one wasn’t the best, but it did the trick enough for a “healthier” alternative to soda…I was thinking this one would top the olipop and blow it out the park, but truly it didn’t :(
