The Pricey Root Beer You Should Steer Clear Of

If you're craving the sweet, spicy taste of root beer, avoid Poppi's Prebiotic Root Beer. While it has 25 calories or less per drink, the off-putting taste isn't worth the price.

According to Chowhound writer Jennifer Geer, who reviewed popular root beer brands, the problem with Poppi is that "prebiotics and root beer just don't go together."

She found that the flavor was "nothing like root beer" and so strange that she couldn't have more than a sip. Plus, a single 12-ounce can costs $2.45, while a 12-pack costs $29.88.
