PRODUCT AND INGREDIENTS

  • What is Sparkling Water?
    Simply put, sparkling water is fizzy (carbonated) water. Polka Pop Sparkling Water is better than your usual sparkling water as it is flavourful, refreshing & the perfect fizzy drink without the sugar, sweeteners, preservatives, sodium or calories. It is perfect to have as it is or mix with your favourite white spirit.
  • What does Polka Pop contain?
    It contains natural flavour, carbonated water & a whole lotta love! Before you ask us, natural flavours are essentially flavour oils extracted from the natural fruit.
  • It can’t be true. How is Polka Pop zero calories?
    As we mentioned earlier, Polka Pop is made from natural flavour extracts and not fruit juices. Fruit juices contain sugar & calories in some form whereas natural flavours don’t! Water is also calorie free and therefore Polka Pop is 100% zero calories.
  • Isn’t Fizz harmful for me?
    Well, all carbonated drinks available in India have traditionally contained sugar, sweeteners, chemicals, calories & what not (read toilet cleaners? :p). Therefore your association of fizz with ‘unhealthy’ was not wrong, until now. Carbonation by itself is just gas and as is the law of nature - what goes in, comes out. Other than that, Polka Pop contains nothing in it to harm you. If you’d like to get a little scientific, all carbonation really does is produce carbonic acid which is what gives a fizzy drink that sting we all love. Our pH levels are also more neutral (see what we did there!) at ~4.5 when compared to super acidic soft drinks (~2.5 pH).
  • How do I drink Polka Pop?
    You can mix Polka pop with your drinks or have it as is.See how to make a Drink&Pop to see the perfect cocktail recipe!
  • What is Drink&Pop?
    Drink&Pop is the perfect way to consume Polka Pop. Take your favourite white spirit - 30 to 60 ml, add ice cubes, & top it up with your favourite flavour of (Polka) Pop! It’s that simple - just Drink & Pop. P.S. - Top it up with your favourite garnish to make it fancaay!
  • Does Polka Pop contain caffeine?
    No. Polka Pop does not contain caffeine. Our team however, behaves like they’ve had way too much caffeine.
  • Is Polka Pop Vegan?
    Well, Polka Pop is your favourite clean-label beverage brand but if you’re Vegan it’s the perfect drink for you.
  • I’m on a diet. Can I drink Polka Pop?
    Yes - 100%. Regardless if you’re on Intermittent fasting, Keto, Paleo, Vegan, Atkins or any other form of diet, Polka Pop is the perfect beverage for you. We don’t use any sugar or sweeteners and our drinks are 100% zero calories. What’s better than fizz & flavour while on a diet? ;)
  • I have diabetes. Can I drink Polka Pop?
    Yup! We don’t use any sugar, sweeteners or calories making it the perfect fizzy drink for you. We’re not kidding - you can have this without worry or regret (or getting beaten up by your family!)
  • Can I drink Polka Pop every day?
    Yes! You can have Polka Pop all day, everyday.
  • Is sparkling water healthy?
    Well, there are a few drinks that claim to be sparkling waters, but are just diet sodas with a fancy name. Polka Pop Sparkling Water is healthy & hydrating - just like regular water. With Polka Pop, you can replace your “seemingly healthy” diet soft drinks and tonics. Polka Pop has no sugar, no sweeteners of any kind, no preservatives and no sodium. It is the perfect calorie-free fizzy drink that works great as is or as a mixer. If you’ve just gotten on a diet, or are trying to cut down all the junk (we mean ‘sugar’) from your life, Polka Pop is the perfect drink for you!
  • Why is Polka Pop sold in Plastic Bottles and not glass?
    Polka Pop is sold in PET over glass as it is the more sustainable material out there. Hold your horses! We know it’s not perfect but hear us out. Greenhouse gas emissions over the lifecycle of the product are much lower for PET when compared to glass and even aluminium cans. The recycling ecosystem of PET is very well developed in India with ~over 60% of all transparent PET being recycled. Energy required to recycle PET is much lower when compared to other materials. Energy consumption due to weight & loss of energy due to wastage and breakage when in transit is also much lower. All that being said, it still comes with its pitfalls. We are working on this and for the time being you can make your purchase plastic neutral as well. We enable recycling of PET that would otherwise find its way to the landfills every time you check that box. We want to do more and are always open to suggestions & ideas.
