Culture Pop Black Cherry Soda - 12 fl oz Can

This drink is supposed to be good for you and that would be the only reason that I would drink it. It has a weird, weak unpleasant taste when drinking, but at all like any black cherry soda I have ever had, and has an after taste as well, though not a strong one.

My whole family loved this black cherry flavor from Culture Pop! We avoid typical soda in our house because of some of the ingredients used and the high sugar amounts but sometimes you still crave a soda. We thought this was a strong enough flavor that was a little tart and sweet and a good healthy option soda. I love that these were sweetened and flavored with an organic fruit juice blend. Some other healthy option sodas use stevia to sweeten so if you are sensitive to that, these would be a great choice as they do not have stevia! Also, bonus points for the probiotics added for a happy gut!

This soda is marketed as a healthier alternative to the big name sodas, and it is definitely less sweet than the usual ones. The taste is somewhere between a flavored sparkling water and a full soda. Izzy brand soda is the closest analogy as far as sweetness goes. In terms of sparkling/dizziness, it's a step or two down from Coke, and pretty close to a sparkling seltzer. The black cherry flavor was fine, subtle but distinguishable. Can't speak about any benefit from the probiotics in the ingredients, other than to say it has fewer strains than a full fledged probiotic supplement, but about the same as a probiotic gummy. Overall, this is an enjoyable drink in the spectrum of water to soda.

I’ve tried quite a few of the healthy gut/probiotic sodas but I really liked culture pop. It was mildly sweet and not artificial tasting and I really enjoyed the black cherry flavor. It didn’t give me any stomach discomfort!

It's really more like sparkling flavored water. It's refreshing and crisp tasting. My teen boys liked it. Definitely not sweet or strong black cherry tasting. Black cherry is very mild. Pretty light pink color. Overall it's good, but could be better.

I don't drink much pop/soda these days. I'm mostly into flavored still water, flavored sparkling water, and unflavored sparkling water. This was somewhere in between a full sugar soda and a sparkling water. It has just a hint of sweetness and isn't overbearing. I can't say I know anything about probiotics, but the flavor is decent. I don't know that I'd run out and buy it again, but I wouldn't avoid it

I received this for free from the Hey Bullseye sampling program in exchange for my honest review. Over the last year, I’ve been trying to improve myself. I’ve been working out more with weights and exercise and have been improving my diet. At the same time I’m not cutting out everything and soda and sugar are a big crutch for me. I’m not a fan of stevia and aspartame but I’ve been looking for a decent substitute to lessen the regular consumption. Probiotic drinks have become very popular and I have yet to try this brand. The previous brands I tried killed my stomach and the balance of apple cider vinegar was too much. This was a pleasant surprise. You tasted the black cherry essence and it was bearable. Obviously I won’t be cutting out my ginger ale or colas anytime soon but this will help me decrease my total consumption and I like that.

I am guessing that this product is not for me. I took a sip and couldn't even handle that much. I later found that I should shake the product before drinking it so I gave that a try. Still didn't like it. I know a lot of people like this type of drink but I was expecting black cherry flavor and didn't taste that at all. Not anything I would ever drink.

Thought this would be something like Poppi or Olipop, it’s not. This is basically sparkling water. Didn’t have that much flavor to it. Took 2 sips and then poured down the drain :( definitely not for me

I hate sparkling water. It's very bitter and gross! This however has the best flavoring. It's healthy, it's sweet/tart, and you don't taste any of the disgusting sparkling water. I love the health benefits of this drink. Would definitely recommend to everyone who wants to make more health conscious choices.

I bought this can 4/13/25. I want to change up how I drink sodas and wanted something that would wean me from sugary sodas so I bought a can of this Culture Pop black Cherry soda. Poured over ice, it tasted so good! What I like about this flavor is the light sweetness with a tart taste, and it feels like I’m drinking a regular soda but I didn’t. Would I buy again? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY!!!
