Customers praised this mango soda for its "juicy" natural flavor and healthier profile, sweetened with honey rather than artificial sweeteners. Many said it's "not too sweet" and "really refreshing." The natural ingredients including fruit puree and apple cider vinegar were highlights. Some found it slightly less creamy than expected for mango flavor.

This was very refreshing and yummy too, haven't seen it before but have tracked down a stockist for some more!
Yummy and feels healthier than a soft drink.
Would love to try with vodka
Yum
Yum yum yum, we don't buy lots of sodas and usually chia sisters is our go to, but will seek this brand when shopping as it was awesome
You have a real winner here. I hope it catches on. I'll make a FB post. I love the real fruit juice/puree added. I love the healthier sweetener. I love the cheeky design. And cider vinegar. It's all good for the soul.
Yum!
Would love to try cherry, I'll look for it now!!
Would buy this drink again. Healthy and refreshing
When first reading about it I thought the apple cider vinegar taste would be strong. It wasn't and I really enjoyed drinking this. I will be purchasing more going forward as it's a healthier option
We use mostly sodastream but this is so much healthier
Would buy again loved that apple cider vinegar is in it and would like to try other flavours so thanks to black box I will purchase.
