ITEM OF THE DAY Item Of The Day: Dry Soda
Andrea Greb

I love fizzy beverages.  (Quick side poll – do you call it soda or pop?  Or something else?  I was in the ‘pop’ camp til college and then four years in Boston somehow turned me into a ‘soda’ girl.)  Anyway, whatever you call it, I love it.  I love the bubbles, I love the fun flavors (though I do love Diet Coke the most).  Unfortunately, most people I know seem to not feel the same way.  ”Oh, I don’t really drink soda,” they say, making me feel childish and immature when I order it in restaurants.

But no more!  Soda is classy now!  Just look at that Dry Soda bottle. So refined!  So grown up!  And it’s dry, which means no one can complain about it being too sugary and full of high fructose corn syrup.  Dry Soda comes in lots of fancy-pants, sophisticated sounding flavors (cucumber! rhubarb!), but I chose lavender, in hopes it would calm my stress (if you are ever thinking of planning a cross-country move the same week as your best friend’s wedding, don’t do it).  It was a completely soothing beverage, like someone combined a stress-relief candle with club soda, in a delicious way.  If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea (or bottle of soda), you can get a variety pack and try all of the flavors here.

  2. I love sodas! They’re fun and you have many choices to choose from. And I don’t drink alcohol :-) . I call it “soda” by the way

  3. I went out and bought a few today, and they are DELICIOUS! I’m currently sipping on the Lavender, and feeling very sophisticated.

  4. I moved between Minnesota and Wisconsin. MN was pop. WI was soda. I mashed the two and just said soda-pop all the time.
    Also, Its a bubbler. Not a water fountain. A water fountain is some decorative piece that you’d place in a park.

  6. Australians call it soft drink (because it has no alcohol) & by knowing this you’re now officially worldly

  7. Growing up I asked some adult member of my family whether it was Soda or Pop, and I remember being told that in Canada we say “pop” and in the US they say “soda”. That struck me as kind of odd since soda sounded so much more sophisticated, so I didn’t know why we couldn’t say it. This website offers a US view, though, and they seem to say pop:

    I guess in Canada we may say pop more often, since it was introduced by the British poet laureate, and Canadians tend to be more British-sounding than US/Americans.
