Ideal Bite

When you reach for a 6-pack, are you getting more than just a soft drink?

The Bite:

Whatever you call it, soda (a.k.a. pop, a.k.a. coke) goes great with sunny weather. Get more bounce to the ounce by quenching your thirst with natural, healthier, benzene-free options.

The Benefits:

Better for you. In a FDA test, 79% of diet sodas tested contained high levels of benzene, a known carcinogen.
Organic ingredients are just plain better for the planet.
Take a refreshing break from the same old soda pop flavors.

Personally Speaking:

Jen got turned off to soda completely when she had a contest to see who could down one of those Super Big Gulps at 7-Eleven the quickest, and it came out her nose. Now, she’s hooked on water (in her Ideal Bite SIGG bottle, of course).

Wanna Try:

Find local retailers on the ‘where to buy pages’ on these sites:

Steaz Cola - organic green tea-based alternative to traditional colas.
RW Knudsen Red Raspberry Spritzer - their simple recipe - fruit juice and sparkling water - has yielded refreshing results since 1961.
Reed’s Ginger Ale - goes down with a sweet, slightly spicy taste.
Santa Cruz Organic Lemonade - Bite team member Sara buys this stuff by the case.
Izze Sparkling Clementine - amazing citrus flavor! OK, so they don’t use organic ingredients, but they do donate to eco-non-profits.
