A healthier alternative to traditional sodas.
About Olipop sodas
Olipop was founded in 2018 by Ben Goodwin and David Lester in Oakland, California. After Goodwin’s previous venture, Obi Probiotic Soda, did not succeed, he partnered with Lester to create Olipop with an investment from the sale of Obi. Their goal was to provide a healthier soda option that combines classic flavors with functional ingredients supporting digestive health.
The production philosophy of Olipop focuses on crafting beverages that are enjoyable and beneficial for gut health. Each can features a blend of prebiotics, plant fiber, and botanicals aimed at supporting the gut microbiome. While specific details about the production methods and botanical ingredients are not disclosed, the company collaborates with experts in gut microbiome research to ensure their products are scientifically grounded.
Olipop offers a diverse range of flavors categorized into two main lines: the 9g Fiber Line, which is refrigerated and includes flavors like Blackberry Vanilla and Classic Root Beer, and the 6g Fiber Line, which is shelf-stable with options such as Raspberry Sherbet and Shirley Temple. The brand emphasizes its ‘For Gut Health’ category, featuring flavors like Ginger Lemon that promote digestive health benefits.
The brand has gained significant recognition, achieving over $200 million in sales by 2023 and receiving media coverage, including a feature in Time magazine. Notable investors such as Mindy Kaling and the Jonas Brothers have also backed the brand, which is available in over 20,000 retail locations nationwide, including Walmart and Whole Foods Market.
Olipop describes its beverages as ‘a new kind of soda™ that’s delicious, refreshing, and actually good for you.’ They emphasize the combination of classic soda flavors with functional ingredients that support digestive health. Specific tasting notes are not provided, as the focus is on the health benefits of the drinks.
