Marisa Zupan founded United Sodas of America in 2020. Based in Brooklyn, New York, the company was focused on selling direct to consumers for a while due to the pandemic. As lockdowns lifted they were able to shift to add retail distribution to the mix as well. During this time they also faced a growing number of competitors in the "health" soda market. Similar to Marisa, many startups have been attempting to launch soda brands for more health-conscious drinkers. Not all of them are in the pre- and pro-biotic space either. Many of the flavors are twists on classic offerings.
This particular can is listed at just 35 calories, with 8g of sugars. This soda is sweetened with both cane sugar and stevia while using carrot juice for coloring. It doesn't smell as peachy as many of the peach flavored sodas I've tasted, but there is a slight peach scent. It also doesn't taste as peachy as many other peach sodas. Almost certainly the pursuit of less sugar and overall calories has meant compromises in flavor. It tastes a bit too vegetably for a fruit flavored drink. At least it has a high level of carbonation. I've picked up a couple of other flavors from United Sodas of America so I'll be hoping for some improvements.
