the future of soda is now

once upon a time in Texas...

Co-Founder Allison Ellsworth started with ingredients rather than a brand blueprint. In 2015, inside her Dallas kitchen, fruit juices, prebiotics and sparkling water became the foundation of her early drink.

A farmers' market gave that recipe its first direct audience. When a Whole Foods buyer found the bottle there, a home experiment gained a path toward a much larger stage.

That stage eventually included Shark Tank, where Allison and her husband, Stephen, secured a 2018 deal with Rohan Oza. A vivid rebrand followed and introduced the world to poppi.

Joining the PepsiCo family in 2025 added another milestone. The range now moves between fruity and classic profiles while carrying “the freedom to love soda again.”
