No-Cal Soda Pop

Manufacturer's Brand Overview [Edit]

No-Cal Soda-Pop is the first brand to be commercialized by the INOV8 Beverage Company LLC, founded in January, 2005 by two soft drink veterans, Mike Weinstein(former CEO of the Snapple Beverage Group) and Brian O’Byrne (former CEO of the Yoo-hoo/Orangina Beverage Company).No-Cal was America's very first zero calorie soft drink, introduced in NYC in 1952. A soft drink without sugar was a novelty at the time. No-Cal became renowned for special flavors like chocolate (often mixed with a splash of milk by loyal users), black cherry (great with baked apples), ginger ale and root beer. Unfortunately, like many regional brands, the product didn't survive the competition from the big guys and disappeared from the beverage scene in the 1960s. NOW it's back, along with the fun attitude that was the hallmark of the soft drink attitude before the food police came along and told us what we couldn't drink or eat. Bottled in 12-ounce glass longnecks, each flavor comes complete with a character "spokesman", lots of fun descriptors, poems and stories. Our tag line is "absolutely non-fattening", a line we picked up from old No-Cal POS material. No-Cal, the Great Taste of 50's Style Soda Pop with no Sugar, no Calories, No Guilt!

Cherry Lime

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12 fl oz glass
BevNET Review: This is a terrific soda, diet or no. It’s got a great balance of cherry and lime and very little sweetener aftertaste, with a lip-smacking sweetness up front and fruitiness through to the very end. We like the adapted classic bottle and the green label really stands out against the red soda. The poetic ode to Cherry Lime is pretty lame as poetic odes to CSD’s go, but we’d still buy the stuff. Definitely worth a try.Reviewed on: 10/5/2005

Chocolate

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12 fl oz glass
BevNET Review: Honestly, we were a bit skeptical of this product when it first rolled into our office. Mainly because of prior experiences with diet chocolate soda -- a flavor that isn't at the top of our list of flavors that are good at masking the flavor of artificial sweeteners. Fortunately, No-Cal Chocolate has forced us to forever put that notion aside. This product tastes absolutely phenomonal. The chocolate flavor is sweet and creamy, with almost no sweetener taste. It's a tremdously enjoyable product that ranks high in both refreshment and nostalgia value. In addition, the packaging is retro but bright -- they really pop out at you (no pun intended). Overall, a very well-executed product that we highly recommend.Reviewed on: 10/3/2005

Clementine

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12 fl oz glass
BevNET Review: This is flat-out great stuff. We have no idea how they do this with artificial sweetener, but the No-Cal folks have created a crisp, sweet, flavorful zero-calorie soda reminiscent of, well, orange soda. With only the smallest amount of artificial sweetener aftertaste, this is one of the most successful diet adaptations we’ve found. Great for orange soda fans, the dark blue throwback label is very attractive, although the poem on the back remains extremely corny.Reviewed on: 10/5/2005

Vanilla Cream

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12 fl oz glass
BevNET Review: With a rounder, more complete and less artificial-tasting finish than most other diet cream sodas, No-Cal has produced a tasty diet soda that basically gets the drinker to the very limits of what a diet soda can be. And also makes one realize just how limited, in the end, that really is. There’s a sweet, almost fruity finish to this product, and it’s pleasant but not amazing. No-Cal has a well-designed label with an attractive “No-Cal” logo and, in the case of Vanilla Cream, a sax player on the front and a poem attributed to the sax player on the back. It’s in a clean, clear, vintage soda bottle and might be enough to win over repeat diet customers. Those in search of a real creamy vanilla soda would best look elsewhere.Reviewed on: 10/5/2005
