Soda for the Office Breakroom

Stock the office breakroom with a variety of soda cans so employees can enjoy sugary treats whenever they need an energy boost. Sodas usually come in cans and plastic bottles. Mostly made of aluminum and tin-plated steel, cans are lightweight, get cold quicker when chilled, and have excellent cold retention. Browse the wide selection of breakroom beverages at Staples to find different types and flavors of canned soda drinks for the office.

Choose soda cans for every taste
Soda drinks are available in a wide range of flavors to satisfy different tastes. Cola and fruit flavors are the most popular ones. Cola carbonated beverages have a distinct taste that is beloved by many. The classic cola taste varies from one soda brand to another. Therefore, it’s helpful to ask the office for their preferred cola brands when shopping for these beverages. Commonly used fruit flavors include cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. Ginger ale and root beer are equally popular soda flavors to include.

Carbonated cola beverages are caffeinated drinks. While their caffeine levels are generally lower than coffee, these treats can also provide much-needed midday stimulant boosts. The combination of caffeine and sugar delivers the energy boost to help staff power through the workday. Choose caffeine-free sodas for those who want to avoid the stimulant. These are also available in the same flavors as regular caffeinated carbonated drinks.

Consider size when shopping for soda cans
In the US, the regular size of the can for soda drinks is 12 ounces. Certain fruit beverages come in the similar, but slightly smaller, 11.15-ounce can. This standard can size is compact and travel-friendly. It also contains enough to satisfy the average thirst. Mini soda cans hold 7.5 or 8 ounces of liquid. Smaller and lighter, these single-serve drink cans are the right sizes for kids and adults trying to cut their soda consumption.

Carbonated beverage manufacturers also use larger cans. These include taller 16-ounce and 24-ounce ones. These are easier to hold by people with big hands. Larger cans hold more soda and are ideal for satisfying deep thirsts.

Do diet sodas use different cans from regular sodas?
Diet sodas come in the same can size as regular ones. However, manufacturers try to differentiate them by using different colors on their packaging. Brands that offer diet carbonated drinks make them easy to identify by putting words like “diet” and “zero sugar” on the containers.  

How do you identify caffeine-free soda cans?
Regulatory agencies require drinks containing caffeine to disclose this information on their labels. Look for any mention of caffeine on the product label, ingredient list, and/or nutrition facts label. Caffeine-free sodas don’t list this ingredient. Manufacturers may highlight this fact by boldly stating that their drinks are caffeine-free on the packaging.

How long does carbonated drink last in an opened soda can?
After opening its container, a carbonated drink begins to lose its freshness. To preserve its taste, keep an opened beverage can in the fridge where it can last 2 to 4 days before going flat and losing its flavor.
