The Switch Sparkling Juice, Kiwi Berry, 8- Fl. Oz Cans (Pack of 24)

In short:Switch is exactly what it tries to be. It is a 100% juice with carbonation. You pay for the carbonation, flavors and convenience. I have found competitors tend to have a lower juice percentage and/or augment the juice with Splenda or similar alternate. Just be aware of what you want. If it is a carbonated, 100% juice drink, give Switch a try (or 24 if you grab the variety pack).Full Review:I purchased the variety pack, with concern for spending so much on a gamble. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the drinks and size. It is a great treat every other day or so. I think the 8oz size is perfect for accompanying a meal or on its own. Like everyone, I have my favored flavors but there aren't any that I find undrinkable or unpleasant.I've seen/read some concerns over the calories/sugar/sweetness of the drinks that reviews say detract from the drink. Quite frankly, I don't know if these reviewers know what is in fruit. The only way to decrease these values is to remove the 100% fruit juice element which is half of this product, at least to me. (The other being carbonation) I die a little every time I find a great looking product only to see the little Splenda logo. If you like Splenda, more power (and products) to you :) You can easily add water to this drink if the taste or stats are too much for you, but you can't subtract it, so I think Switch is perfect.Like many fruit juices, Switch uses grape and apple juice as fillers. An example is the fruit juice order in the Orange Tangerine is "apple, grape, tangerine, orange and acerola" I don't find the taste has suffered and I know the price is more manageable, from the use of apple and grape juice.Since there might be parents reading, I don't have kids, but believe it would be great for kids. I know price is a concern, but I believe soda should be a treat not a staple food. They are 8oz in place of the traditional 12oz of soda. This gives your child less sugar (none refined) and a skinnier can to hold on to or package in a lunch box. (Also, no little straw to break off and get lost!)I can't honestly tell you if I would have been willing to be different as a kid and have a Switch in place of a soda, but I know I definitely want it now. If your kids don't want it in their lunch box, put it in yours. :)

I've been drinking Izze brand sparkling juice for a few months now, but I wanted to try this brand to see how it compares overall. I do very much enjoy it. It is very sweet, and despite being actually a blend of various juices (Apple, grape, black cherry and one more that I can't remember right now) it does have a very nice and strong but not overpowering cherry flavor. There is a very slight hint of apple at first, but that does go away fast. To be fair, Izze also mixes 2 or 3 juices along with the main "flavor" of juice with their product.One thing to consider, is per ounce this actually has MORE calories then many soda pops. Unlike Izze, they are reconstituting the juices with the carbonated water. Which does make for a stronger and sweeter juice, but also means that an 8 ounce can has about 120 calories. That's roughly the same as a 12 ounce can of soda. Still, there's no added sugars, and each can does boast 100 percent daily allowance of vitamin C so IMO the calories are a fine compromise over a High Frutose Corn Syrup laden soda pop with little nutritional value.To again compare Izze, they claim 70 percent juice, 30 percent carbonated water, and about 80 to 90 calories a can. I do also like Izze, but at the same time the flavor isn't as strong for probably obvious reasons.Anyway, I'm quite happy with this product and I plan on getting more when this runs out, perhaps this flavor, perhaps a flavor also shared by Izze to compare (Izze doesn't have a cherry juice flavor, Switch does seem to have more variety in flavors).Although shipping and packaging isn't part of this review's rating (and I'll be rating that in the proper section) I will mention that Amazon.com did package this fairly well, there were no loose or dented cans, and shipped quickly via 2 day Fed-Ex shipping (I have an amazon.com Prime account). So for those worried about ordering a case of canned juice via Fed-Ex (Or UPS, my last order of Izze were shipped via UPS), don't be worried or concerned. In my experience, they package it well.

No ADDED sugar, 100% juice and 2 servings of fruit per CAN is amazing! ❤ Izze brand is only 70% juice, means a lot of water and less health benefits.We actually NEED SOME sugar every day, so don't panic over the 100% natural (from the fruit itself) sugar content. Yes, they are a little bit sweet, but they are 100% fruit. Sweeter than soda, but 100% better for you! 😁Added sugar is the worst, because you are not getting if from the actual source and it adds it to our daily intake to the naturally sweet fruits and vegetables in food. And of course, diet drinks can lead to many dangerous health problems.One of these a day, is a great addition to your diet (2 added servings of fruit each, no ADDED sugar). Most people don't eat enough fruits/vegies each day. "The USDA's Dietary Guidelines recommend adults eat anywhere from 5 to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables per day depending on age, gender, physical activity, and overall health." ⚕I drink 1 a day for wonderful flavor and the 2 servings of fruit per can.Go ahead, pop the top and drink up. Your tastebuds & body will thank you.
