the future of soda is now

once upon a time in Texas...

Back in 2015, Allison Ellsworth was ready to break up with soda—seriously. 😳 She didn’t love how it made her feel, but the taste? Now that she couldn’t quit.  ‎

She knew there could be a better way and got to work in her kitchen. 👩‍🔬 Mixing fruit juices and sparkling water, she created the future of soda.🥤   ‎

‎She bottled her fizzy creation and took it to a local farmers’ market, where a Whole Foods buyer stopped by, took one sip, and instantly knew a soda star was born. 🌟   

Everything changed when she and her husband, Stephen, got the call from Shark Tank.🦈 Nine months pregnant, they boarded a plane to L.A. Next thing they knew, they were on camera making a deal with ‘The Brandfather’ Rohan Oza. 🤝   

After a bold rebrand and a fresh new name, poppi was officially born. 👼   

Now, poppi’s stocked internationally and have made some pretty cool friends along for the ride—Post Malone, Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, Billie Eilish, Russell Westbrook, Jennifer Lopez, Olivia Munn, and more.

Expanding into Canada in 2023 with 10 mouthwatering flavours (and counting!), we’re here to spread the love of soda one can at a time. 👅
