Allison Ellsworth, poppi’s co-founder and chief brand officer, is revolutionizing soda! She didn’t like how regular soda was making her feel. So, she started to experiment in her own kitchen with her family to create something better.
Mixing fruit juices with apple cider vinegar, prebiotics, and sparkling water in her Dallas, Texas, kitchen, she created the future of soda.
She bottled up her fizzy new creation and took it to a local farmers’ market, hoping to change minds and gain some fans. That’s when a Whole Foods buyer stopped by, took one sip, and instantly knew a soda star was born.
When she was nine months pregnant, she and her husband Stephen got the call from “Shark Tank” in Los Angeles. Before they knew it, they were making a deal with “The Brandfather” himself, Rohan Oza. After a bold rebrand and a fresh new name, poppi was officially born.
In case you haven’t seen it socially, a few celebrity friends have enjoyed the drink along the way: Billie Eilish, Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, Olivia Munn, Post Malone, Russell Westbrook, and more. You may have even seen poppi advertised during “The Big Game” this past February.
