Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

You'll either love Zevia or hate Zevia. Many of the critical reviews complain that the sodas aren't sweet enough, that they are too sweet (??), or that they have a bad aftertaste. I experienced some of the aftertaste issues myself until the latest formulation was launched (in late 2016), which uses an improved blend of stevia extracts and removes the erythritol. (I'm glad they dropped the erythritol--it gives me headaches in large amounts!). I think that the Zevia company has identified a blend that eliminates most (if not all) of the weird / bitter aftertaste that is associated with stevia. If you think it's not sweet enough, I recommend giving it some time. After a month or so, you'll adjust to this and may even prefer it. For it to work, I recommend dropping the coke/pepsi/sprite/whatever, at least while you adjust. (I did this, and now find conventional sodas to be ridiculously syrupy and gross.) Let's be real here, though: Most people are drinking Zevia for the health benefits achieved by eliminating sugar, chemicals, and other artificial junk from the diet. If you really care about your health, open your mind to this--you'll be doing your body a huge favor. If you don't really care that much for your health, you'll probably go back to the syrupy junk after a while, so in that case...maybe don't waste your time with this.
