The Finnish Long Drink's Zero Sugar Variety Pack Clears Up Confusion

— April 23, 2025 — Lifestyle
The Finnish Long Drink launched a Zero Sugar Variety Pack that aims to clear up confusion while delivering delicious refreshment with zero carbs and just 99 calories per 12-ounce serving—one of the lowest-calorie options in the category.

"Since we launched in 2018, we've had hundreds of thousands people post, comment, or mistakenly tell their friends that Long Drink is their favorite seltzer," says one of the Finnish co-founders of The Finnish Long Drink, Sakari Manninen, "Finnish tradition values being both kind and clear. So we figured it was time to share a little friendly correction: what you're enjoying isn't a seltzer. It's a Long Drink."

Long Drink introduced its Zero Sugar Citrus flavor in 2019, and demand for more light, refreshing options with 0% sugar led to the launch of the Zero Sugar Variety Pack with two new pack-exclusive flavors: Zero Sugar Peach and Zero Sugar Pineapple.
