Slice Soda's Brand-New Drink Launch Is the First of Its Kind
Slice is entering the dirty soda chat-and its new launch is the first of its kind.
The fizzy beverage brand, first released in 1984 and now owned by Suja Life, has been reimagined by the health-conscious company to feature better-for-you ingredients. Now, it's taking on one of the "most talked-about beverage trends" by debuting its very own dirty soda, and unlike most, this one is ready-to-drink straight from the can.
"The first ready-to-drink 'Dirty Soda,'" according to a press release published on Wednesday, May 6, is being introduced in two flavors, Dirty Orange and Dirty Strawberry.
- Dirty Orange (60 calories) – A bright, bold orange soda with a creamy twist, delivering nostalgic flavor with a refreshingly modern upgrade.
- Dirty Strawberry(50 calories) – A fresh take on a classic favorite, blending juicy strawberry flavor with smooth, creamy indulgence.
"Inspired by the viral 'dirty soda' trend, Slice Dirty Soda is the first in the category to deliver an authentic dirty soda experience straight from the can. Unlike other ready to drink dirty sodas that rely on artificial cream flavoring, Slice Dirty Soda is crafted with coconut-derived MCT oil to create the rich, creamy texture fans expect, with no mixing required," the notice revealed.

The dirty soda trend rose to greater popularity in 2022 after Olivia Rodrigo's viral TikTok post at Utah-based dirty soda chain Swig, but it is largely owed to the Mormon community in the Midwest state (many of whom do not drink alcoholic beverages or coffee), according to Eater. Similar to Italian sodas, the drinks typically consist of club soda "spiked" with cream, flavored syrups, or other add-ins, with some now using popular soft drinks like Diet Coke or Sprite as a base.
"Dirty soda has quickly become one of the most talked-about beverage trends, but until now, consumers had to make it themselves or settle for versions that didn't quite deliver the full experience," said Nicole Portwood, Chief Marketing Officer at Suja Life, in Slice's press release. "Rather than artificial cream flavors, we've added MCT oil to create the smooth, indulgent mouthfeel that defines a true dirty soda, capturing the creamy indulgence people love while staying true to our mission of offering a better-for-you soda."
Each 12-ounce can of Slice Dirty Soda boasts the brand's signature combination of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics to support gut health. With only four grams of sugar, real fruit flavor, and no artificial ingredients, the products are also non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, vegan, and contain no high fructose corn syrup.
Slice Dirty Soda is available now at select Target stores nationwide with a wider rollout to follow in the coming months, the brand promised.
