Since that fateful day last September, I’ve been impressed by this beverage genre, enjoying [Pepsi Prebiotic Sodas](https://www.theomnicosm.com/pepsi-prebiotic-cola-brings-a-true-cola-taste-to-a-prebiotic-soda/) and [Poppi Punch Pop too](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-review-olipop-raspberry-sherbet-blackberry-vanilla-poppi-punch-pop/). (The rumored Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Prebiotic Soda absolutely has my snack radar on high too.) I’m even drinking a Grape Olipop as I write this newsletter. What better way to celebrate this anniversary than with the limited-edition **Olipop Caramel Apple**? “Inspired by one of fall’s most beloved seasonal treats, Caramel Apple layers glossy ribbons of buttery caramel flavor over the crisp snap of green apple, balancing tart, sweet and smooth into one rich, irresistible sip,” Olipop writes of this flavor. I love that Olipop wisely chose to go in a direction that wasn’t pumpkin spice for this seasonal soda. Not only would a prebiotic soda that tastes like pumpkin probably be a bad move, the market is already saturated. Let’s make [apple the new flavor of fall](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-review-planters-flipz-dunkin/), people. ## Sign up for Snackology Love reading about the latest flavors of soda, new candy and limited-edition fast food?

For example, you can get a single can of the delightful Olipop Crisp Apple for **$2.69** at Target, while a four-pack goes for **$9.79**. Olipop Caramel Apple will be available at retailers including Target, Walmart and Whole Foods beginning today, Sept. 9. ### The pics ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/09/IMG_0550.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/09/IMG_0552.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/09/IMG_0555.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/09/IMG_0556.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/09/IMG_0557.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/09/IMG_0558.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/09/IMG_0559.jpg) Cans of Olipop Caramel Apple. / Snackology also from the omnicosm [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/08/square-rebrand-new-1.png)](https://www.theomnicosm.com/popculturology/) Love what you’re reading?

I was worried about this flavor. As someone who finds the buttered popcorn flavor of Jelly Belly jellybeans disgusting, the Olipop Caramel Apple’s promise of “glossy ribbons of buttery caramel flavor” set off alarm bells across my taste buds. And, yes, that first sniff and sip were both buttery. But then the apple side of this flavor popped through. It took a few sips to fully calibrate my reaction to Olipop Caramel Apple, but in the end I found it to be an appropriately autumnal version of the Crisp Apple flavor of Olipop that I usually have stocked in our home. On the spectrum of fruit-based and fruit-adjacent flavors of Olipop, Caramel Apple falls closer to something like [Banana Cream](https://drinkolipop.com/products/banana-cream?srsltid=AfmBOopXJM5OYwBg0eCXyQ%5FdVEVTE8-2UWcGmeA2BbtaYzBoj9tIgxwi&ref=theomnicosm.com) — richer flavor, thicker mouthfeel — than [Crisp Apple](https://drinkolipop.com/products/crisp-apple?ref=theomnicosm.com) or [Grape](https://drinkolipop.com/products/classic-grape?ref=theomnicosm.com). snack score ![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/09/IMG_0553.jpeg) ****Olipop Caramel Apple** **Snack score: 4 out of 5* 🍪 [About the Snack Score](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-snack-score/) *Olipop Caramel Apple was provided to *Snackology* for this independent review.* ## Sign up for Snackology Love reading about the latest flavors of soda, new candy and limited-edition fast food?
