Those looking for a local, cheaper, healthier alternative to traditional soft drinks can try Pocket Pop, a brand-new drink available in a range of flavours meant to capture childhood nostalgia in a 200ml bottle.
Here’s everything fizzy drink lovers need to know.

What is Pocket Pop
At a time when drinks are only getting more expensive, Pocket Pop retails for just R5.99 per bottle. The low-kilojoule carbonated drink is made with 100% natural spring water, making it a healthier alternative to many big-brand competitors. This combination, with its low price, makes it an easy, conscious addition to any snack run, whether it’s for lunch, a braai, or a road trip.
The fizzy drink comes in a range of four flavours, all reminiscent of nostalgic drinks from our childhood, with a sweet, fruity taste that appeals to all generations. The Cream Soda is a smooth classic, familiar to South Africans but redone with a modern touch, while the Orange Popsicle combines zesty fruit flavour with a hint of cool vanilla. Cherry Pop brings a balance of sweet and tangy to the table, and Pineapple Punch is the ideal candidate for those who prefer a refreshing, tropical drink on warm days in the Mother City.
Finally, the 200ml bottles ensure every sip is savoured without forcing buyers to overindulge, making them convenient to drink on the go. With vibrant, colourful designs that cater to millennials’ childhood nostalgia while still attracting the younger generation, Pocket Pop is designed to be accessible, affordable, and appealing to all kinds of fizzy drink lovers.
Pocket Pop is now available at selected Shoprite, Pick n Pay, Checkers, OK Foods, and SPAR stores across the Western Cape.
