Zevia All Natural Soda, Black Cherry Zero, 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)

No, this doesn't taste exactly like soda. It tastes just like a diet, artifically sweetened soda. That being said, for the health-conscious among us thid is a great soda susbtitute. The ingredients are nice and clean, you get that throat-bruning carbination and some good, flavorful sweetness. I find that these are actually the least sweet of the Zevia sodas. They don't seem to have the same sickeningly sweet stevia aftertaste that some of the other varieties have. I recommend trying this first before trying any of the other flavors.

I feel better about drinking this than the regular soda. Better ingredients and taste is amazing

Great flavor and carbonation. I love the health benefits

I think it's delicious! It reminds me of Dr. Brown's Black Cherry Diet Soda but it's healthier. I am not a health food nut, I just got tired of hearing everyone tell me how damaging aspartame is. I needed to do something because I'm a diet soda addict and if aspartame and Splenda is as as bad for you as everyone says, I was doomed. I can't go anywhere without having a soda with me. No, seriously, it's like a running joke that you will never see me without a soda. I am so glad I tried this. Psychologically, it is still weird for me to drink a soft drink that tastes like black cherry that is clear in color but I know that is silly. It's just a head thing. Most sodas have artificial coloring. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it is insanely sweet. There is, however, an easy hack. I just mix it with a little sparkling water or club soda and it's perfect! I've also tried the Dr. Zevia and Grape which are also very good. They are also crazy sweet but the sparkling water hack works for them too and it's a small price to pay to be free of artificial sweeteners. It's only been a week from when I started and I'm pretty sure I can leave the artificial sweeteners behind for good! Also, the Black Cherry has no caffeine which is a bonus for me. I would say that the worst thing about my switching over is that now I am going to have to carry a small cooler around with me because they are not easy to come by where I live.

All of my family likes this a much better alternative to soda. No artificial sweeteners or colors. Perfect amount of carbonation without the bitterness. And this flavor is the best

Taste: Zevia's Black Cherry Zero soda lacks the authentic flavor of black cherries. Instead of a rich, fruity taste, it presents an artificial and overly sweetened flavor profile that fails to satisfy. The absence of real cherry essence makes the soda taste more like a chemical concoction than a natural beverage. Aftertaste: Despite being marketed as "All Natural," Zevia Black Cherry Zero leaves a noticeable and unpleasant aftertaste. The lingering artificial sweetener taste detracts from the overall drinking experience, making it less enjoyable and leaving a cloying sensation in the mouth. Carbonation: While carbonation is expected in sodas, Zevia Black Cherry Zero's carbonation level seems excessive, bordering on harsh. This overwhelming fizziness masks any potential flavor nuances and can even induce discomfort for some consumers, particularly those sensitive to highly carbonated drinks. Packaging: While the sleek, minimalist design of Zevia's packaging may appeal to some consumers, it does little to compensate for the lackluster product inside. The promise of "All Natural" on the label may also mislead consumers into expecting a more authentic and superior taste experience than what is delivered. Healthiness: Despite its "All Natural" claims and zero-calorie sweeteners, Zevia Black Cherry Zero still falls into the category of artificially sweetened sodas. While it may be free from certain additives found in traditional sodas, it's important to recognize that the absence of calories does not equate to healthiness. Additionally, the artificial sweeteners used may pose concerns for some individuals, particularly in terms of digestive discomfort or taste aversion. Overall, Zevia Black Cherry Zero fails to deliver on its promise of a natural and satisfying soda experience. Its artificial flavor, unpleasant aftertaste, excessive carbonation, and questionable health claims make it a disappointing choice for consumers seeking a genuinely enjoyable and health-conscious beverage option.
