The Better Pop was inspired by Ruby’s mom, who has issues with her digestive health. After numerous doctor appointments, her mom became tired of continually being told to take probiotic pills. Ruby’s mom already takes a lot of pills, and didn’t want to take any more. Ruby began to wonder if there was a more enjoyable way to consume probiotics. Knowing that kombucha is packed with anaerobic bacteria, they had her try some, but she was uncomfortable with the idea of drinking fermented tea. However, Ruby’s mom loved popsicles because they are easy on her digestion. The Better Pop decided to create a healthier alternative ice pop by mixing kombucha and fruit into a probiotic frozen treat. Ruby‘s mom loved it. Not only was it tasty, but it also provided her mom with the probiotics she needed.

The Better Pop patented popsicle shape was inspired by the fact that Rruby’s mom also has very sensitive teeth. The Better Pop wanted to design a shape that would change her mom’s popsicle eating experience. The unique hexagonal shape allows you to bite and break off pieces with ease, changing the way people interact with The Better Pop ice pops. Fun fact: Ruby is a designer that graduated from Rhode Island School of Design, so she was able to design the molds herself.

Food Waste

The Better Pop helps prevent food waste by using the whole fruit, instead of just the fruit juice, which adds extra fiber. An extra plus! The Better Pop never add sugar, dyes, or artificial flavors.
