OLIPOP, the functional soda brand, recently expanded its portfolio with the introduction of a new flavor -- Doctor Goodwin. The new offering joins OLIPOP's existing line of nostalgic flavors including Vintage Cola and Classic Root Beer. Each OLIPOP can has just 35-45 calories, 9g of plant-based prebiotic fiber, 6-7g of carbs, and 2-5g of natural sugars, compared to the usual 39g of carbs and 39g of sugar in a regular can of soda.
The new OLIPOP flavor is described as "a head-on collision of ingredients like rich plums, sweet prunes, and zesty tart cherries with a touch of pure vanilla extract for a true soda enigma the Doctor would actually order."
Consumers can find the new OLIPOP Doctor Goodwin flavor online and at grocers nationwide.
