WTF, why aren’t they called seltzer anymore?
Hello eagle eyes, thanks for noticing that we’re no longer calling our 0% range “Seltzers”. Instead, they’re now known as Premium Sodas.
Why the change? Well. Glad you asked.
The seltzer category is booming, particularly the rise of hard seltzers. A push coming from big multinationals with marketing budgets to match. The word seltzer is now synonymous with flavourless, boring (in our humble opinion) alco-pop/RTDs.
That’s why we’ve transitioned to Premium Sodas, because people often think our drinks are boozy simply because they’re called seltzers. Plus, the term doesn’t give enough credit to the complexity of flavour and quality of ingredients in our drinks.
Plus, we felt we needed a whole new term. Our drinks have a lot more going on than other sparkling flavoured waters or traditional seltzers. Calling our drinks Premium Sodas is a conscious effort to give our award winning drinks the credit they deserve.
If you’re read this far, well, thanks for hearing us out. A reward for you in the form of a code: NEWNEWNEW will get your 20% off our full range. -
What’s in your sodas?
Only natural ingredients including extracts, juices, botanicals and flavourings. Oh and carbonated water - natch. Have a look at our product page for the full ingredients for each flavour. (previously called seltzers)

What are ‘natural flavourings’?
It sounds odd.
Ah yes the mystical term - natural flavourings. We know this sometimes throws people off… What are we hiding? Are we putting something weird into our sodas? The short answer is no. We do it because we have worked hard to create the best tasting seltzers on the planet and there are a couple of secret natural flavours which help us optimise and balance the taste. Kind of like the Colonel's secret herb and spices but much better for you. For example one natural flavour we use is mint...shhhh (and now we have to kill you).

Why do your seltzers have calories and sugar content?
Carrots have calories, the only natural thing that really has no calories is water. So if you truly want no calories just go for water, we love the stuff. We tried making sodas (seltzers) without any calories but as hard as we tried we never thought the flavour was good enough. So we use grape juice to add a little sweetness (this is the ‘sugar’ - but obviously is natural juice) and lemon juice to balance everything out. This means our drinks have a few calories, but don’t sweat it too much, our drinks have less calories than that carrot we mentioned earlier.
-
Why don’t you use stevia (or other natural no calorie sweeteners) to sweeten your drinks and lower the calories?
Wow you are really pushing on this sugar / calorie thing. Because they taste bloody awful (in our humble opinion). We’ve tried hundreds of drinks which use stevia and not one tasted good. We’re all about great flavours so stevia was ruled out because we could never have a great tasting drink when using it. Let’s move on.
-
Why don’t you do more traditional flavours?
We think people are ready for more interesting flavours. People’s palates are evolving, you only have to see the explosion street food across any major city to realise this. We felt drinks aren't keeping pace so we decided to do something about it.
We are always hard at work thinking of new flavour combinations so let us know if you have an idea and we might just make it and put your face on the can (maybe not the last bit).

Who are Glimpse and why do you partner with them?
Glimpse is a collective that use ‘creativity for good’ bringing awareness and positive action to some of the biggest issues facing the global community.
So 1p from every can you buy goes to the Glimpse Foundation. You can find out more at www.weglimpse.co

I’m vegan can I drink your sodas?
Damn straight you can. All our drinks are registered with The Vegan Society just to be 110% sure we adhere to their high standards. Although let’s be honest when you’re making a drink that’s made with fruit, vegetables and water it would be a bit worrying if we weren’t Vegan.

You say you refresh people and planet, what does this mean?
This is our long term mission, we have made a start, but we will always be looking to improve the way we do things to ensure we're reducing our impact on the planet.
We will keep on trying our best, but let us know if you think there are things we could be doing better.

Something & Nothing seems kinda cool, I want to work with you.
Before sending us an email we’d ask you to read up about our culture as it’s quite unique and may not be for you. For instance we don’t have titles, we don’t believe in them, so if you’ve always wanted that fancy title and corner office then this place probably isn’t for you. You can find out more here.
If you’ve read all the info and are still keen to work with us then drop us a note - george@somethingandnothing.co
