Grapefruit citrus is on the other side of town, will get there later. Can't find watermelon or cran-raspberry. The black cherry tastes more like Dr. Pepper than does Dr. Stevia. The cola was only OK. The grape was great !! Orange, ginger ale, cream soda, lemon lime all very good. Mountain, ginger root beer, creamy root beer all good. The only ones I won't buy again are Dr. Stevia and strawberry lemonade. The rest will be in regular rotation !!

Mountain Dew isn't a citrus soda as much as it's a white grape soda. Its main ingredient is white grape and it has citrus flavors added to enhance that. It may have some very subtle lemon or lime undertones but orange is actually the dominant citrus used. Try Mountain Dew again and think of white grape and subtle orange/citrus. I was never a big Dew fan. I liked more colas, orange or grape sodas, and different brand lemon-lime mostly. I prefer Mellow Yellow over the DEW. Thanks for the great Zevia review. I've been thinking about trying it and have been looking for good info. I've been switching back to diet soda for diabetic reasons and want to steer clear of aspartame. It's getting hard to find sodas with Splenda/sucralose as they seem to be sneaking aspartame back under the "zero" title. Maybe Zevia will be a better option for me.

I love sugar, but like only table sugar or brown sugar and genuinely nothing else, because everything else has an off flavor and takes me back to the dark days of Sweet and Low. The only time I’ll say something is too sweet is like pop tart jelly, cinnamon rolls, chocolate, and cereal bars. Otherwise, I’ll put table sugar on just about anything (I won’t eat rice, grits, or oatmeal without it). I can cut my sugar intake by mixing table sugar with Stevia in like a 1:3 ratio, but not Stevia alone. But if Stevia is that much sweeter than table sugar, I wonder if that’s why it tastes so off to me. Is it so sweet that it actually tastes disgusting, like just a level or so above Sweet and Low, to me and that’s why I prefer table sugar? My mom will buy Stevia and she doesn’t use much, so nothing tastes that sweet so I have to add in table sugar to sweeten it, but in general, I’d never actually buy Stevia packets like my mom does. I’d always have to mix it to be able to stand it without that after taste.

At one point, I know Zevia was selling glass bottles. I don't know what grade of glass, or if was any better than aluminum cans, but we should NOT be drinking anything out of aluminum cans. This is a "Do what I say, not as I do" comment. 😂

I'm probably alone in this, but all the ASMR crap chased me right the hell off....and can anyone tell me how an entire generation managed to trash every two syllable word where the second syllable starts with a "T"? "Cert-ain" and "Mount-ain"? Please, powers that be, make everyone go back to putting the syllable break back where it belongs - BEFORE the "T" That said, favorite Zevias are cherry cola, orange, grape, and the 2 root beer varieties.

I bought grape, creamy root beer, and ginger ale per your rating. I'll buy the fruit flavors that don't exist in diet/ non-stevia versions like grape, but will stick to the national/store brands for the rest. I wish the ginger ale was stronger because I love a strong ginger beer (Bundaberg and Fever Tree are the best)

@@Nicolehoskens Fever Tree is the "spiciest", is sold as a "mixer". Although the strongest, its the priciest. Bundaberg is a great above-average spice level and best all-around by itself or a mixer. Third place is Canada Dry BOLD. Dont buy REEDS. They sell a "STRONGEST" which is as strong as regular everyday ginger ale.

Stevia isn't white, and actually stevia powder is green. Does white (bleached?) stevia mean the compound isn't changed? The "natural flavors", it's like the second ingredient, and can be something(s) much worse than sugar or artificial sweeteners. We know what it means: "The essence or extraction of a natural element derived from plants and animals". From ANY plant, from ANY animal (rats are animals), in ANY condition (such as dead...and for how long? None of this is regulated you know). We just don't know WHAT Zevia uses, cause it's "proprietary". LOL

I totally understand getting very micro in research and overcomplicating what we learn. It’s great to get the details and truly understand what things mean but remember we are not only consuming one thing all day every day. And taking a step back and examining if this is something to be concerned about when having one can is also important. If you decide to have a diet of only Whole Foods and zero shelf stable , by all means go for it. Yet too many people are fearful of so many foods that will not harm you. Remember too much water is also very toxic and has sent people to the hospital, but we also need water….

I love these things but I have a feeling that 10, 20, or 30 years down the road we're going to find out that stevia and/or these "natural" flavours are actually cause something like kidney failure or dementia over the long run. These drinks seem too good to be true, even if they aren't as harmful as regular soda. Hoping one day labelling practices are properly updated so that we know what goes into these natural flavours and how they affect our bodies (hint - it isn't natural).

@@pradeepsinghm I don't drink that much of it, but I'll take my chances with it over artifical sweeteners.
