THE GOODI POP STORY
From a New Zealand Supermarket to Bangkok’s Chicest Soda.
It all started with a problem nobody really wants to talk about: the pooping-not-popping problem.
Our founder, Benz (Sorrasek Phiboonthammasak)—a global traveler and wellness longevity enthusiast—was a lifelong soda lover. But as an adult, he had to give up his favorite childhood fizzy drinks to avoid the inevitable sugar crashes and empty calories.
The lightbulb moment happened on a trip to New Zealand. While grabbing groceries for an Airbnb dinner with his wife, Benz picked up a local prebiotic soda. He took a sip, and it was a revelation—it was incredibly refreshing, wildly delicious, and totally guilt-free.
Returning home to Bangkok, Benz went on a mission. He didn't just want to make a drink that tasted good; he needed a formula that actually solved his problem. After a week of deep-dive research with AI, he turned his kitchen into a beverage lab. He tested over 40 different flavor profiles, apple cider vinegar, and various sweeteners. He was uncompromising on the rules: it had to have absolutely 0% sugar to avoid the afternoon crash, and it needed a clinical dose of real fiber. That’s when he discovered the magic of premium Belgian chicory inulin. By packing a massive 8,000mg of this powerful prebiotic into the recipe, he finally found the perfect balance—a drink that paired flawlessly with his midday lunch and kept his digestion soft, healthy, and on track.
The Street Cart Epiphany
The true "Eureka!" moment struck when Benz decided to bridge the gap between wellness and the "Bangkok Street Food" reality. He mixed Guava with Salted Plum. He couldn't put it down. It was the exact nostalgic, mouth-watering taste of a local street fruit cart, but packed with gut-healing benefits. A month later, his daily kitchen experiments were making things... flow gracefully through the week (quite literally).
A Family Affair
Goodi Pop didn't just stop at Guava Plum. Benz's home experiments quickly became a family obsession:
- Strawberry Lemon: Created specifically for his wife, who wanted a vibrant, zesty everyday staple that she could drink on repeat.
- Lush Shine Muscat: Crafted as a special, luxurious pour for his mom to enjoy with dinner.
The "Goodi Pop" Manifesto
With the unwavering support of his wife, his brother, and his family, Benz decided to bring his ultimate "Cheat Code" to the public.
The name "Goodi Pop" is a play on words. In English, it stands for a "Good Pop" (a good soda). But in Thai slang (กูดิ ป๊อป), it means something much bolder: I'm pop. I'm cult. I'm completely out of the box. Benz built Goodi Pop on one simple belief: healthy doesn't have to be boring, and taking care of your digestion shouldn't look like a trip to the pharmacy.
So go ahead. Drink up, keep things moving, and burp elegantly. We won't tell.
