I think it's a great tasting drink (water and diet pop alternative), but don't drink it that much, nor do I drink other leading brand diet pop! I'm not crazy about carbonated beverages, but next time I go out, I think I might as well pick up a can of Zevia. Currently, I mostly opt for regular bottled water or Vitamin Water (the low calorie kind now) instead, as it has some vitamins. However, I do see the benefit of Zevia being zero calories and "pure" ingredients, but that doesn't really mean too much to me. I've drank other beverages that aren't as pure, yet lightly carbonated and they always tasted just as good as Zevia, and they did have the artificial sugars. Now, not saying Zevia is any better, but one thing you know is that it's probably better for you to drink this than another leading brand diet pop because it contains an all natural sweetener Stevia, opposed to aspartame etc., which you find in other drinks.

According to the site:

"ZEVIA contains none of the chemically processed artificial sugar substitutes, artificial flavors or artificial colors found in other diet sodas."

I give this the advantage over other drinks, just sounds good.

"ZEVIA is all-natural, has zero calories, zero net carbs, zero fat, and little or no sodium (depending on flavor)."

This sounds great as well, but it has no vitamins or nutrients!

Overall, I must say there is a lot of good to be said about this drink.
