The hot weather conditions in the country also contribute to the high demand for soft drinks as people seek to refresh themselves.

Is Sosa Fruit Drink a Healthy Option?
This non-alcoholic Orange fruit-flavoured drink, according to the manufacturers, contains orange juice concentrate, natural orange flavouring, 0.9 grams of fat, 31.1 grams of added sugar, and other ingredients.
Now, this is a shocker, this is supposed to have a lot of naturally healthy supplements, but 31.1 grams of added sugar for a fruit drink. Although not all sugar in a fruit drink is added sugar as some can come from the natural sugars found in the fruit. But 31.1 grams is still a significant amount of sugar for one serving.
It is important to note that this amount of sugar is about 7.47 teaspoons of sugar, and if you consume other foods or drinks that contain added sugars, you could easily go over the recommended limit for the day. The purpose of going for a fruit drink in place of soda is eventually defeated.
Nutritional Guide
When making decisions about what to eat or drink, especially when it has to do with fast-consumable products, it’s always a good idea to carefully read the ingredients and nutritional declaration on the product packaging and to compare products to find the one that supports your overall health and well-being.
Taking into account the quantity of fruit juice utilized is also a significant factor to consider. For instance, 100% pure apple juice has a different nutritional value than apple juice flavouring, which may contain added sugars and chemicals to mimic it taste of apple juice.
So, In case you want to try this drink out and would develop an affinity for it because of its taste, I think that is your decision to make. If avoiding a high percentage of sugar is your major reason for going for a “fruity” drink like Sosa, you might need to check again. Provided that you’re just looking for something fruity, Sosa could be your “guy”. Sosa fruit drinks can be purchased from supermarkets, grocery stores, and e-commerce websites.
