The Soda Jerk

Lover of trying new things, especially soda. https://linktr.ee/thesodajerk

The cicadas are so loud you'd swear I was in an episode of Evangelion, smack in the middle of Summer. Instead Summer has ended for my kids & like every year it saddens me. My time with them will lessen until May rolls around again. We'll have a great year no matter what, but leaving Summer hurts.

Day one of ADHD meds. Let's see how this goes! I have a mild case and was given the option to medicate or not. I know what the not feels like, so I figured I'd give it a month and see.

I'm learning today that not everyone calls it Baskin Robbins. All of my California coworkers called it "31 Flavors" instead. Please respond with what you called it, and if comfortable the state or region you're from.

The most apparent way my Southern vernacular kicks in (besides the fact that I say "howdy") is when I leave someone to do a task and I say "If you need somethin' just holler"

Finally made it to a P. Terry's Burger Stand. Fresh made cheeseburger is $3.25, good amount of tasty fries for $2.50. Need to hit this place up more often. (I also had a great root beer shake)

Ok. I drank all three of the bone broth sodas. As far as functional beverages go, not bad (except BlackBerry Lime, that was gross). Overall better than I anticipated. Review tomorrow?

Three colorful cans. Each has a picture of a skull on it and the brand name "marrō"

Y'all have a running gag you still do even though the people who used to be in on it are no longer around? I have two If someone talks about a meatball sub I say "Put some banana peppers on it. They really set it off" If someone says "Tennessee" I repeat it like the intro to the song Tennessee

Oh no. I'm stuck in a "Still Fighting It" loop where I listen to Ben Folds song, covered by Lee Chan Sol, until I openly weep. I'm not sure what makes this song my personal bug light, but I keep flying to it to be zapped.

So, my surprise soda of the year so far has been Mr. Pibb Zero Sugar. I bought a 12 pack & I've almost finished it, but I haven't reviewed it yet It might be THE most accurate Zero Sugar version of a soda to date & it has a bit more caffeine than a regular soda at 54 mg. I did not see this coming

The amount of marketing behind Masters of the Universe is staggering. They keep popping up in places I'd never expect. Most recently was a reel with a weight lifter that goes undercover as a mild mannered janitor that moves MASSIVE amounts of weight to clean under them to the surprise of the lifter
