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.

Phriday Physics Phun! What is the force Superman exerts to stop a plane from crashing into the ground, or the speed and mass of Vince Vaughn's winning Dodgeball shot? What's the force exerted by a Dominique Wilkins windmill slam dunk, or the speed of a retired Charles Barkley? What's the frequency of a cat's purr? ...the mass of a snowflake? ...the pressure inside a can of soda? ..the reaction time of the human fingertip?

Why not try some delicious Chewlies milk?

Dr. Richard F. Daines, NY Dept. of Health Commissioner wants you to understand why a soda tax should be approved there. It's the new youtube video soda vs milk, and if you dream of seeing a guy standing in his kitchen sliding trays and cans across countertops like he just stepped out of 1978, you're in for a treat.

Still no similar offers for actual democracy in China

Navelgazer — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:26:42 -0800

Perhaps inspired by Taco Bell's World Series Stolen Base promotion, Dr. Pepper has promised to give every American a free soda if Guns N' Roses' long-awaited "Chinese Democracy" is released in 2008. Well, every American except for Buckethead and Slash, of course.

Fake Bird Poop is Pata-Fake

blasdelf — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 05:48:17 -0800

So you remember that 'dumb, totally fake' video of a bird pooping in a reporter's mouth that was posted and deleted a week ago? It's meta-fake. Maybe even pata-fake.

TaB browsing

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.

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

Dead Sodas

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

Would you like benzene in your soft drink?

FDA re-opens probe into benzene contamination of soft drinks US food safety authorities have re-opened an investigation closed 15 years ago into soft drinks contaminated with cancer-causing chemical benzene, following evidence the industry has failed to sort out the problem.

Remember Surge? It was a Mountain Dew knockoff from the Super Wicked Radical days of the mid 90's. Reflecting the times, Surge was the color of radiator coolant and as thick as labrador drool. Inexplicably, it failed (except in Norway and also may have been the inspiration for this). The site is a magnificent document of true love for a dead product (and the opposite of Pepsi Blue on so many levels.)

what might the "other" terms be? you are from the far north of minnesota or south central new mexico - what do they call "pop" or "soda" in your neck of the woods?

New Cokes And Pepsis

MiguelCardoso — Sat, 28 Feb 2004 14:20:41 -0800

Niche Meets Nietzsche In The Coke Wars: Andrew Barlow's piece on the new Cokes and Pepsis, like all good satire, sounds like the future. Can the mix-your-own Coke on demand be far behind?

Soda Caps: A study in retro design

pinto — Fri, 08 Aug 2003 20:08:04 -0800

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.

wanderingmind — Thu, 13 Feb 2003 10:14:09 -0800

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).

Sprite is Good Food

mcsweetie — Sat, 18 Jan 2003 18:42:16 -0800

Sprite Is Good Food "We have obtained a rare Sprite commercial rejected by the big wigs at the Coca-Cola Company. I believe it captures just what the Sprite consumer wants to see, epecially in the targeted demographic of 5-80 year olds...it's just too bad we had to delete the scenes with the hyenas on the salad bar." Well, it certainly made me thirsty. (Requires RealPlayer!)

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.

aaronscool — Thu, 12 Sep 2002 13:34:37 -0800

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?

NortonDC — Mon, 15 Apr 2002 08:21:35 -0800

<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?
