I Tried the New Culture Pop Flavor and Now I’m Ready for Summer

When you taste-test packed food and drinks for a living (a thing you can watch us do on YouTube, isn’t that fun?), it can be easy to forget all the things you’ve consumed. When I tasted the new Culture Pop flavor, I was like, wow, this stuff is pretty great—I wonder if we’ve ever taste-tested these before. Well, not only did we taste them, we tasted all of them. On camera. And then I wrote a whole article about it. Early onset dementia or too much taste testing? Only time will tell!

Anyway, if you’re not familiar with Culture Pop (like me, apparently) it’s a brand of probiotic soda that’s sweetened with juice rather than stevia or monkfruit like other pre- and probiotic sodas. So instead of being powerfully saccharine, these are mildly sweet and pleasant to sip, as long as you’re not expecting, you know, actual soda. If you’re thirsty for good gut bacteria and a little fizz, they have a summery new flavor and we tried it.

New Culture Pop!

Culture Pop Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade

Amazon

Pros: This new Culture Pop tastes really good. It’s fruity and refreshing in a slightly generic way, and I genuinely love that it’s lightly sweet. Trust, me this isn’t like La Croix—there’s 10g sugar in a can from the fruit juice and that’s just the right amount to allow it to taste like a sweet treat, without added sugar or (god forbid) stevia.

Cons: It doesn’t really taste like raspberry lemonade. The fruit juice blend it’s made with includes white grape, raspberry, and lemon. There’s also citric acid listed in the ingredients, but it just doesn’t quite do enough to make the lemon pop. There’s definitely a mellow tang there, but to really taste like lemonade, it needs way more lemon flavor.
