OLIPOP launched Caramel Apple, a limited-edition prebiotic soda that pairs glossy ribbons of buttery caramel with the crisp snap of green apple, featuring the brand’s signature high-fiber formula. The drink is built to balance tart, sweet and smooth in a single can. Each can contains 5 grams of sugar.
The Caramel Apple recipe layers caramel notes over a tart green-apple base to deliver a dessert-like mouthfeel without heavy sugar. Packaging and promotion tie the flavor to Halloween hosting with a Best House on the Block Giveaway that will award five winners per day during a two-week sweepstakes; each daily winner receives 12 cases of Caramel Apple.
Caramel Apple offers a seasonal treat option that keeps sugar low while adding fiber-driven prebiotics to support digestive routines. The sweepstakes element also helps shoppers stock up for parties or trick-or-treating occasions.
