Our family recently switched our soda addiction to Cove Soda. They are delicious - I enjoyed the cola/root beer/cream soda pack, but this red fruits pack really takes the cake. I don’t know where raspberry soda has been all my life. They are all zero sugar, which is nice to reduce risk of dental decay too.

My kids and I prefer them to the US brands we had been drinking previously!

    I can always tell when a product uses stevia because it leaves a bitter aftertaste to me, but lucky if your entire family can’t notice it!

    My partner and I can always detect it, even if we had no idea it was there and in small amounts. We have to start looking out for its use more and more because finding out something has stevia is really off-putting 😩

      Maybe it’s one of those polarizing tastes like cilantro. I don’t find the stevia taste offensive or all that noticeable in these. Perhaps certain flavours might overpower it more too?

    That looks awesome, I’ve never seen Cove soda before, i will definitely be keeping an eye out! I don’t drink a lot of soda but I occasionally enjoy a sugar free one from time to time

    I mean it’s good, just not for everybody. It might be good trying out as an alternative to Zevia which is made down South, but in comparison to say, Crush or whatnot, I don’t think it’s a fair comparison.

    Definitely a bit of an acquired taste. I liked it having bought it from Safeway before, but I know a few people that didn’t like it one bit.

      Might be - I don’t have any big issue with the taste of stevia, so perhaps I’m not sensitive to it. However, I’ve tried Zevia before and didn’t really enjoy the flavours for whatever reason
