Uncle Arnie’s, a US-based THC beverage brand, has introduced SodaPop, a new line of cannabis-infused sodas designed to deliver familiar flavours with a modern twist.

The new offering debuts in 12-ounce cans and launches in three classic soda flavours: Strawberry, Orange and Grape.

Each SodaPop can contains 10 milligrams of THC and is vegan, gluten-free and alcohol-free, positioning the product as an approachable option for consumers seeking a flavourful alternative to both traditional soda and alcoholic beverages. The line is designed to deliver a smooth, fast-acting experience, consistent with Uncle Arnie’s existing beverage portfolio, while emphasising bold, nostalgic flavour profiles.

“SodaPop builds on our flavour-first philosophy,” said Theo Terris, CEO of Uncle Arnie’s. “We wanted to create something familiar and consistent that fits easily into everyday occasions, while still delivering the experience consumers expect from our brand.”

By expanding into soda-style beverages, Uncle Arnie’s is broadening its product mix beyond iced teas, lemonades and shots, offering retailers an additional shelf-ready format that aligns with consumer demand for familiar flavours and alternative functional beverages. The soda format also allows the brand to tap into occasions traditionally dominated by soft drinks, while maintaining cannabis compliance standards.

SodaPop is currently available in select markets and via e-commerce, with expanded retail distribution expected to roll out this winter. The launch supports Uncle Arnie’s ongoing strategy to diversify formats while maintaining consistency in dosage, flavour and consumer experience.

Founded in California in 2020, Uncle Arnie’s has grown rapidly to become one of the leading THC beverage brands in the US. The company offers both hemp-derived and recreational THC beverages across 16 states, sold through liquor stores, grocery retailers, and licensed dispensaries. Its portfolio spans low- and mid-dose ready-to-drink beverages as well as higher-dose options available in regulated cannabis markets.
