BUBBLE BURST!

Poppi Soda faces backlash for not being a miracle in a can!

Have you ever had Poppi soda? They’re divine.
In Whole Foods across America, stacks of these bright, cheerful cans line the shelves with a variety of delightful flavors. With added benefits of probiotics, apple cider vinegar, a mere 5g of sugar, and 25 calories max, they are a unique kind of “surprise and delight.” So, of course, people sued.

In a world where sensitivity reigns supreme, it's hard to imagine anything is safe from pretentious backlash, even something as innocent (and as perfectly packaged) as Poppi.

The core complaint of this lawsuit is that Poppi (a soda company) misled consumers into thinking that their product (soda) would provide meaningful and noticeable benefits to their overall gut health. The complaint states that consumers would need to drink four or more cans of Poppi a day to notice the benefits of the 2g of prebiotics per can. Because of this, they are accusing Poppi (a soda company!!!!!) of violating California’s False Advertising Law.

In layman's terms:
People are furious that this $4 soda isn't, in fact, a miracle health elixir. Poppi is merely a better option than traditional soda; however, this simply isn't enough. Cry me a river of carbonated tears.
