but along the way, we realized that what we were trying to make didn't capture the essence of what we loved about soda. The thing we cherished most about soda was the memories it created—the pure, sweet taste with simple ingredients. As we grew older, we recognized that too much sugar isn't healthy, but the nostalgia for that simple sweetness remained unchanged.

We came to a realization: it wasn't us who had changed so much; it was soda itself that had transformed. Over the years, countless ingredients were added, altering its original charm. Instead of trying to turn it into something it never was—completely good for you—we decided to bring it back to its roots. The problem with soda today lies in the myriads of ingredients that have been introduced.
