Why Gen Z Is Choosing Vibe Over Vice - And What That Means for Drink Brands in 2025
Share
For Gen Z, what we’re drinking isn’t just about choosing the easiest option anymore. It’s about expressing values. Products that we can pronounce the ingredients of are increasingly harder to find, thus, our generation is beginning to reform our drinks choices. We’re choosing aesthetics over tradition, wellness over indulgence, and community over conformity. As 56% of Gen Z consumers say fitness is a "very high priority", compared to 40% of the general population, it’s obvious that health plays a much bigger part than it did before. That’s more than just a health stat, it speaks volumes of a growing desire among newer generations to live well, drink smart, and socialize more, all without the shadow of overconsumption or a focus on consumerism.
But here’s the twist: Gen Z isn’t only health-conscious. Gen Z connects and chooses what is visually bold and fun. A drink doesn’t just need to be good for the body, it needs to look good and feel good.
That’s where Neon Tiger finds its pulse.
In a setting where 81% of Gen Z consumers say ingredient transparency and clean formulas influence their buying decisions, trust is currency. Neon Tiger doesn’t trade in empty claims. It delivers real ingredients, vivid colors, and a brand story that resonates. Every can is a promise: what’s inside matches what we stand by.
Neon Tiger promises brand intimacy and product integrity. As our message is all about sugar in moderation, we deliver full transparency about our products with genuine interest in taking health to the next level. Gen Z wants to know what we’re drinking, why it matters, and how it fits into our lifestyle. Gen Z’s drink choices are as much about visual impact as they are about function. A drink needs to look good, feel good, and spark conversation. Neon Tiger’s bold aesthetic, including neon hues, sleek design, and unapologetic energy makes it a statement piece in any setting.
It tells brands that what’s inside has to match what’s projected outward. No empty claims, no one-size-fits-all. Just real ingredients paired with a brand story that matters.

And as more brands scramble to find relevance, Neon Tiger proves that leading with substance and style is the only way forward.
