COLA ALTERNATIVE (MUCH HEALTHIER!)

After the [2nd evacuate](https://peakd.com/update/@waybeyondpadthai/our-2nd-evacuation-california-fire), I moved to a town in Humbold County, Fortuna. Not so big not so small and not that I like it. There's not that much to offer but hey, at least they have one branch of Grocery Outlet (Bargain Market) here! For those who's never heard of this place, well, you'd better get to know it. It offers ones of the best product deals in the market like, literally! Reasons: ***Not just good price but fun & quality products!***



> Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. is a chain of discount supermarkets that offer discounted, overstocked, and closeout products from name brand and private label suppliers. The company has stores in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. [More info on wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grocery_Outlet)

<br>

### COLA ALTERNATIVE
One of the products I got from shopping at Grocery Outlet today is this cola drink alternative. 

**Brand**: Olipop
**Flavor**: Vintage Cola (the other one I saw was Strawberry Vanilla or the opposite :D)
**Price**: $3 - $3.99
**Price at Grocery outlet**: ¢99

This is actually a can of the sparkling tonic with plant-based ingredients in it. I have never seen it elsewhere and since it looks cute and the price is just surprisingly affordable, I gave it a go! I didn't even look at the ingredients at first but once I got home, keep it in a freezer for a bit and tried afterward, dang! 

<br>

### I think I likey like

Super refreshing and taste like (fake) cola! Well, in a good way... There's that hint of cola but it's not extremely carbonated like Coke or Pepsi. Quite sweet but it's a different kind of sweetness. Looked at the ingredients and I was just wowed. All natural! and it even claims that it's prebiotics, botanicals with plant fiber. 


> Carbonated Water, OLISMART (Cassava Root Fiber, Chicory Root Inulin, Jerusalem Artichoke Inulin, Nopal Cactus*, Calendula Flower*, Kudzu Root*, Marshmallow Root*, Slippery Elm Bark*), Cassava Root Syrup, Apple Juice Concentrate, Lime Juice, Organic Natural Cola Flavor, Alpha Galangal Root*, Stevia Leaf*, Himalayan Pink Salt, Green Tea Caffeine*, Natural Vanilla Flavor*, Natural Caramel Flavor*, Cinnamon* --- *Extract


Sounds pretty hippie kind of drink to me but I like it! I have not consumed so much soda/pops at all for a while already. Both for the reason that it's not healthy and I really haven't craved it at all but now that I got to know this type of cola, I might consider getting back to cola once every so often. It really helps with the heat here especially, when it's so hot and smoky out.

I'm very impressed with the ingredients in there, I also don't drink fizzy drinks bit there is something about them on a hot day. I sometimes get carbonated water and add a dash of apple cider vinegar to it, also my kefir is mostly fizzy too.
