the future of soda is now

A homemade formulation sits at the center of this timeline. During 2015, Co-Founder Allison Ellsworth combined fruit juices, prebiotics and sparkling water while developing the drink in Dallas.

Its first leap did not begin with a national campaign. Allison shared the bottles at a local farmers' market, and a Whole Foods buyer recognized what she had created.

Later, she and her husband, Stephen, presented the idea on Shark Tank. A 2018 deal with Rohan Oza unlocked a bold visual and brand reset, bringing poppi into view.

Another chapter arrived in 2025 with the PepsiCo family. Its fruity and classic flavor paths now meet beneath the words “the freedom to love soda again.”
