About QDOL
QDOL is a line of drinks from the Chinese company Pepis Co., which promises its customers lightly sparkling fruit drinks in cans they would like to display. The brand has acquired a following through social media and collector circles, where the character cans get traded and shown off as much as they are drunk. The drink is carbonated in a very delicate and subtle way, and the fruit taste is more pronounced than the sweetness, which is why it is more similar to a sparkling water than a real soda.
What makes QDOL different
It stands out for two reasons. First, the packaging: officially licensed Pokémon and SpongeBob designs make the cans into pieces of merchandise, and the design varies with the character and the release, so collectors go after the cans they do not have. Secondly, the taste: the carbonation is light and the fruity flavour is much less syrupy than a regular soda. This combination, an amusing can and an easy-drinking beverage, is what makes QDOL the object of attention on social media.
QDOL flavours
QDOL runs a rotating set of fruit flavours across its character cans. The lineup here can change with each import and drop, but these are the ones the brand is known for.
| Flavour | Profile |
|---|---|
| Lychee | The mainstay, sweet and floral with a gentle fizz, the one most people try first |
| White Grape | Crisp, sweet white grape, an easy crowd-pleaser |
| White Peach | Soft, juicy white peach, gentle and fragrant |
| Strawberry | Bright, sweet strawberry |
| Summer Citrus | Zesty mixed citrus, the sharper option in the range |
| Orange | Sweet, clean orange fizz |
Ingredients and allergens
QDOL is a carbonated beverage, with ingredients including water, fructose syrup, carbon dioxide, flavouring, acidity regulators (E330, E331) and preservative (E202). The drinks are not sugar-free or diet drinks, since they contain sugar. Though the ingredients do not include milk, eggs, nuts, gluten or animal-derived substances, there is no halal certification, so anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions should check the label on the individual can before consuming. Best served cold.
Who QDOL is for
Pokémon and anime fans. Those licensed cans are the whole attraction. Featuring officially licensed characters like SpongeBob and Pokémon, each one is both a drink and a collectible.

Gift and party buyers. The cans are lovely to look at on a party table or as a small gift for a fan, and they sit very well with other viral drinks like Sides Coffee.

QDOL: frequently asked questions
What is QDOL?
QDOL is a Chinese sparkling water brand made by Pepis Co., best known for its collectible cans featuring officially licensed characters like Pokemon and SpongeBob. The drinks come in 330ml cans with a light, fruit-forward fizz, so they taste closer to a flavoured sparkling water than a heavy soda.
What flavours does QDOL come in?
QDOL runs a rotating set of fruit flavours across its character cans. The best known are lychee, white grape, white peach, strawberry, summer citrus and orange, with lychee the flagship most people try first. The exact flavours available can change with each import and drop.
Is QDOL sugar-free?
No. QDOL is sweetened with fructose syrup, so it contains sugar and is not a diet or sugar-free drink. It does have a lighter, less syrupy taste than many sodas thanks to the fine carbonation, but check the back of the can for the exact sugar and nutrition figures.
Are the QDOL cans collectible?
Yes, that is a big part of the appeal. QDOL uses officially licensed artwork, most famously Pokemon and also SpongeBob, and the designs change across characters and releases. Collectors chase specific cans, so a lot of people buy them to keep as much as to drink.
Where can I buy QDOL in the UK?
QDOL is not a regular supermarket stock item in the UK. It comes in through specialist import and Asian-drinks retailers, which is where the character cans and the fuller flavour range are easiest to find, rather than on a standard shop shelf.
