FAQ: What Makes Sidekick Soda Different?

🍯 How much sugar is in Sidekick Soda?

Each soda has just 3.5g sugar per 100ml — that’s around 70% less than regular soda. We sweeten only with real New Zealand honey for a natural taste and no weird aftertaste.

🐝 Why honey?

Honey is one of the least processed sweeteners on the planet — made by bees, not in a factory. Humans have been eating it for over 8,000 years, and it’s been used in wellness remedies across cultures.

At Sidekick, we use real New Zealand honey because it was part of my nana’s original medicinal recipe — crafted to soothe the gut and support natural energy. It’s better for you, and it tastes better too.

🚫 Do you use erythritol or stevia?

Nope. Sidekick is sweetened with honey and fruit only — never stevia, erythritol, or artificial sweeteners.

🍎 What’s Apple Cider Vinegar and why do you use it?

We use organic, raw ACV with “The Mother”, which adds gut-friendly benefits and a refreshing tang. It’s great for your digestion — and it actually tastes good.

🧠 Is Sidekick Soda good for gut health?

Sidekick is made with gut-friendly ingredients like organic Apple Cider Vinegar (with the Mother) and real New Zealand honey. The recipe is inspired by my nana’s original medicinal blend — crafted to soothe the gut. It’s been modernized for taste, but stays true to its roots.

🔥 What makes Sidekick different from other healthy sodas?

Most use stevia or erythritol — we use real honey, real fruit, and apple cider vinegar. It's a clean, gut-friendly drink without compromise.

🧃 What flavors do you offer?

Cherry, Mango, Strawberry, and Pear — all made with real fruit extracts and no concentrates.

📦 How long does it last?

Every can or bottle of Sidekick Soda comes with at least 3 months of shelf life. It’s shelf-stable and doesn’t need refrigeration until opened — perfect for the pantry, fridge, or on-the-go.
