the future of soda is now

A kitchen experiment opened the first chapter. In 2015, Co-Founder Allison Ellsworth worked in Dallas with fruit juices, prebiotics and sparkling water, looking for a brighter way to approach soda.

She bottled the idea for a local farmers' market, where a Whole Foods buyer noticed it. That small public debut carried the recipe beyond the kitchen without losing the curiosity that shaped it.

Allison and her husband, Stephen, later brought the drink to Shark Tank. The 2018 deal with Rohan Oza led into a bold rebrand, and poppi emerged with a new name and unmistakable energy.

By 2025, poppi had joined the PepsiCo family. Its fruity and classic flavors still point back to the same invitation: “the freedom to love soda again.”
