Olipop’s whole pitch is that it tastes like real soda — so the flavor you pick makes or breaks the switch. I ranked the lineup by the only metric that counts when you’re quitting: how convincingly it replaces the soda you’re trying to give up.
New to Olipop? Start with Vintage Cola, Classic Root Beer, and Cherry Vanilla — the three most convincing “real soda” flavors.
The ranking
S-Tier — the best soda replacements
- Vintage Cola — The flagship. The closest thing to a real Coke in the better-for-you category.
- Classic Root Beer — Genuinely excellent; creamy and full-bodied.
- Cherry Vanilla — Like a cherry cola/Dr Pepper hybrid. A crowd favorite.
A-Tier — excellent
- Strawberry Vanilla — Cream-soda territory; smooth and nostalgic.
- Doctor Goodwin — Olipop’s Dr Pepper homage.
- Ginger Lemon — Crisp, like a ginger ale with more character.

Each can has ~9g of prebiotic fiber and just 2–5g of sugar. That fiber is great — but ease in. Going from zero to three cans a day can cause bloating. One a day to start, then build up.
