GULPING on soda cans can be a hot summer day treat for many, but it is not the healthiest act for your body.
To help some ease off that extra soda weight, TikTok creator mandyvjones uploaded a “healthy Coke” hack to create a healthier Coke.

On June 6th content creator Amanda Jones uploaded a 50-second video sharing a healthy alternative to Coke.
Jones shared that her Pilates instructor makes this drink almost every single day, and the end result tastes just like Coke.
The recipe is too simple: add some balsamic vinegar and mix it with any sparkling beverage.

She used the La Croix Guava flavor mixed with balsamic vinegar and some ice, creating a visually-similar look to Coke.

“I swear to god it tastes like Coke and it’s healthy and it’s good for you. You guys should try it out,” said Jones in the video.

This healthy Coke hack went viral on TikTok, with more than 5.6million views and 562K likes.
Famous content creators, including Tinx and healthylittlepeach, duetted the video and created their own versions.
The recipe even landed on Wednesday’s episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna, although the two were not very satisfied with the result.
With more than 15.2K comments, even official Instacart TikTok commented on the video: “Not salad dressing soda!”
“Homegirl just got at least 50 people to drink balsamic vinegar with ice lol,” wrote another user.
Many users were definitely hesitant about the “salad dressing” soda, saying: “this needs to affect your credit score somehow,” and “I just ruined a la croix you owe me $50.”
Even though balsamic vinegar might sound a little odd to add to a soda, there are many vinegar-based sodas that we drink.
From Poppis to Switchels and even apple cider vinegar, vinegar has many health benefits, so this viral hack might be worth giving a shot.
