Exactly. Here's my thought with Olipop. If I were to take a soda, like a carbonated water, basically, all right, and want to help you to improve your gut microbiome, I would prefer to opt for a high quality supplement as opposed to, because basically this is what we have here. Like to me, this is carbonated drink plus supplement. We mix them together.

We call it a functional beverage, which sounds very sexy, right? But it's the same thing as having drinking a carbonated drink and taking a supplement.

And I welcome that concept, right? I welcome the concept of a healthier soda. But I think that the issue, though, is that there's this added fiber that's in there. The added fiber that was put in is inulin. Inulin is pure FODMAP. We were talking about low FODMAP. This is the opposite of low FODMAP. This is pure FODMAP. It's actually purified FODMAP. That's what it is. All right.

It does feed and fuel the gut microbiome. It also is the most gas producing form of fiber that I've ever come across.

Carbonated gas also enters into the body. It must be expelled. It either comes out the top. So you're either belching or you're farting. Like those are the two options when it comes to the carbonated gas. And then you add in the fiber and that's going to ferment it. And yes, it does have an effect on the microbiome, but it's producing a lot of gas and you're farting like crazy.

All right. So, but the problem with this is that like knowing what I know, this is the cheapest fiber that exists. You can add this amount of fiber for pennies, right? So we add this cheap fiber into this and then we call it prebiotic. We sell it as a health drink. We jack the price up dramatically. If you're going to supplement, don't give me the cheapest fiber that exists.

If you're going to supplement, give me something high quality. Like give me something that actually is really good for my body. So that's the way that I feel about it. It's like, to me, this is basically a carbonate drink. In my mind, give me a Spindrift plus a good supplement.
