Glass-bottled, cane-sugared, bubbly little gulps of happiness.

A short documentary on John Nese: Soda pop obsessive. His store Galco's in Los Angeles sells more than two-hundred kinds of soda pop, particularly favoring small-label, glass-bottled and cane-sweetened fare. Yay. If you don't live in Los Angeles, you can order rare sodas from John (including the delicious Mr. Q Cumber) here. Thanks to Thin Lizzy for alerting me to this

What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?

What's a soda lover to do when Passover Coke has, well, passed over? Find other cane sugar sodas, of course! We've been previously informed about Mexican Coke, and there is certainly a following for Dublin Dr Pepper, which is popular enough to be used as beef jerky marinade. How else does one find a soda which shuns high fructose corn syrup when they have that urge for cane sugar? The Jones Soda line is full of the good tooth-rotting stuff. Cane sugar soda can even be found in store brand form. Feeling especially lazy? Avery's will deliver their line of sodas right to your door if you are fortunate enough to live in a few select parts of Connecticut. If you have a friend passing through Oklahoma, Pops on Route 66 offers an in-store kiosk for shipping a wide variety of cane sugar sodas including regional favorite brands such as Moxie, Thomas Kemper, and Foxon Park, just to name a few. So remember, you don't need to travel back in time to get cane sugar sodas. Let Pepsi do the work for you there. Disclaimer: Does not come in Blue.

TaB history, photo galleries, and Generation TaB: The Motion Picture. ~~Pepsi~~ Coca Cola Pink, I guess. But I still love the look of that logo.

My favorite part is when the "reporter" breaks out the whiteboard.

[SeinfeldPlotSingleLinkVideoFilter]: Michigan wants its $50 million back.

"I'd like a coke." "What kind?" "Huh?" "Dr Pepper, Coke or Sprite." "I'll take Dr Pepper Coke"

Pepsi Blue, et al. Dead soda visited by X-Entertainment, purveyors of much 80s-90s nostalgia. Previously.

Soda Caps: A study in retro design

Old soda caps sold by "the bottle cap man" provide a great web gallery of retro design. I wish I knew the histories of these obscure drinks. Warning: hundreds of thumbnail-sized pictures.

Soda. Pop. Whatever - just don't call it Coke.

The Best Soda You Never Had: Inspired by Miguel's thread, I went in search of some links about exotic beverages - specifically, the carbonated ones - and many of my leads ended up back at this one place. Cel-ray, Jones' Bubble Gum, Stewarts' Orange Cream - all there, and plenty more... It always seemed to me that Mexican sodas tended to be far far more diverse than the standard cola / diet cola / lemon-lime / orange / root-beer selection you typically see anywhere in America. Unfortunately, they fail to mention my absolute favorite, which is Cuban, and is called Materva (scroll down about a third of the way).

forget cola wars. this is a cola jihad.

`Papa, I agree not to drink Coke, but you have to give me something.'
so what do you do when the populace calls for a tall glass of fizzy sugar water, but the primary suppliers are bonified infidels? you make your own...

and you call it Mecca-Cola.

The new national divide... In my high school town of Davis CA. it was "Coke". In the rest of California it seemed to be "Soda". Until I moved to the Northwest I always had an extreme hick-ish image of folks who say "Pop" and to a certain extent still do.

Where do you live and what do you say?

<Jaws theme> Legislating a sin tax on soda </Jaws theme> California state Senate Bill 1520 would impose an excise tax on sweetened beverages sold to retail dealers after July 1, 2003. Sen. Deborah V. Ortiz, the bill’s author, anticipates that pop distributors would pass the cost along to consumers. Just let me keep buying Entenmann's crumb cake, ok?

The Great Pop vs. Soda Controversy: An Interactive Study Since the development of carbonated beverage in 1886, one of linguistic geography's most important and least investigated phenomena has been the sharp regional divisions in the use of the terms "pop" and "soda."

Attention trial lawyers! Miss out on your chance to get rich off a piece of Big Tobacco? All your buddies already sliced up the potential Firestone pie? Well, have we got a cutting-edge trend for you: Aim for Big Soda! Johns Hopkins claims soft drink companies use caffiene to addict consumers.

First there was Jolt and now this. I refuse to speculate whether this is a spoof. If it is, it's a well-done one. (Is "Hemp Seed Oil" legal to possess in Arizona?)
