Soda.

Well now I know where I'm going next time I get a hankerin' for some small batch root beer from BevMo.

shanrick: Soda.

Soft drink.

Iggy?

Just as long as you don't call it a "coke".

Soda-pop.

Soda-pop.

SODA-POP.


I'm suggesting this in the interests of peace, people.

If you don't WANT peace... quite frankly, I don't know what to tell you.

Maybe Arnold WAS right in Terminator 2 when he said that it's in human nature for humans to destroy themselves.

...

... but then again, he didn't have a frosty can of soda-pop.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: Maybe Arnold WAS right in Terminator 2 when he said that it's in human nature for humans to destroy themselves.

Actually, I think he said it best in Total Recall when he said "ARARGGUGHGGUARGGHUGHAAH!" It was very poignant, and let us completely put to bed the argument over what to call soft drinks.

The only soft drink I go out of my way to look for is Kinley and they don't have it. I even called up Coca-Cola and they told me it wasn't available in this country.

Makes sense that the world's best mixer/hangover cure would only be available in Israel.

Back when I was a kid, the barber shop we went to had one of these types of vending machines:



I used to always get a Frostie root beer or Dr Pepper out of it. I think they were 30 cents per bottle.

Good find, Subby. My only complaint is that the video was too short.

fun. i like this guys recs.

I shop at this joint when I can. The owner is almost always in the store, and always willing to lend his opinions on the merchandise.

Place has everything you could want, and a few that you probably wouldn't want (coffee soda anyone?)

Soda.

/Lives in pop country.

Does he sell Tarragon Soda?

It's soda.

VvonderJesus: Just as long as you don't call it a "coke".

They're all "cokes".

You wanna coke?

Sure.

What kind?

7-up.

I would give my left arm for a 2L of Surge. Sweet christ. He probably even has some in that huge place...

/I NEED IT

PacManDreaming: I think they were 30 cents per bottle.



/sorry.

or GTFO

Nice to know that if I find myself in LA, I can still get a Moxie. And checking his website, I see he also carries the cane sugar Dr Pepper.

It was always a coke in my house.

"POP!"

/From Seattle
//Watched the ENTIRE video. Very cool!

CruiserTwelve: /sorry.

Yeah...that's not the actual machine from my old barber shop in that photo. Otherwise, you'd see a bunch of old dark tan naugahyde chairs with metal legs all bolted to one another, stuffed deer heads on the walls and stacks of hunting magazines the end tables.

I wish that store wasn't all the way across the country, I love businesses and restaurants where the owner is very involved and passionate and sociable.

Also, It's called soda motherf*ckers.

/pop

Soda. "Pop" is a type of music, and coke is what a stripper sucks your cock for.

Meh.

Gimmie a Zimmie.

tbyte: Soda. "Pop" is a type of music, and coke is what a stripper sucks your cock for.

Fark you. Soda is clear, flavorless, carbonated drink that is usually mixed with something else.

/jk

It's coke. There is a difference between "coke" and "Coke."

A coke could be a Coke, Pepsi, root beer, orange soda, diet Mt Dew, or anything else sugary and carbonated.

A Coke is a Coke.

Soda or soft-drink.
Pop is acceptable, albeit a little hokey.
Coke is just idiotic.

You sound southern ...

Fizzy kiddie drinks.

The semantics debate is silly.
The proprietor, however, is pretty damn cool, looks like.

/he gets bonus for "diabeetus"

exick

Well now I know where I'm going next time I get a hankerin' for some small batch root beer from BevMo.

BevMo's weak.

I'll be visiting this guy's place myself, all the way up in Highland park though, I'll have to get a French dip on the way

I have been there - the place is amazing.... The guy can talk your ear off about any bottle you pick up. This place is a treat.

The other place just as amazing is a native american store north of Las Vegas - a huge supermarket: Half fireworks(all types), half hard liquor.

It's SODIE.

/Ya idgits.

great find! I might have to place an order.

Liter of cola please

So, does this mean that soda is the next thing that hipster kids are going to be snotty about like it's wine? I mean after coffee, beer, chocolate?


/one of them
//just curious what's next

I'm from Iowa and it's always been pop for me.

Next time I'm in LA, I'm heading over to this guy's store. I saw the video a while back and just knew that I had to venture halfway across the country to see this place in person. I don't care how long or how far I have to drive, fly, walk, sail, ski, or ride in on horseback: I WILL go there and get my obscure pop fix even if it kills me.

Pops in Arcadia Oklahoma may want to challenge that largest claim.

Antilope: Does he sell Tarragon Soda?

He takes requests/special orders on his site. I just ordered a half case of Black Lemonade.

/"Once you drink black you'll never go back"

I'd be interested in trying some of those flavors.

The last two times I've been over to my nearby grocer (Albertsons) they were completely out of Diet Coke. I even asked people who work there, "Do you have any Diet Coke back in the stock room?" The answer was NO, they were out of it.

How the fark do you run out of Diet Coke? It's the single most popular diet soda on the planet, and it's not like the Coca Cola factories are having a backup in producing it. It's easily available.

Any store manager with half a brain would keep at least a full palette of Coke products in the stock room, just on the chance that someone like me might want to buy some Coke products when the shelves have been picked bare.

Pop.
I'd like an Ale-8(1), please.
In the deposit bottle, it tastes better.

Galco's is a regular stop of mine on any trip to L.A. Once I had a variety case of root beer and other flavors from there sent to a friend of mine in Springfield, IL. The place boggles the mind. Learned about it from the Food Network.

/i say "soda"
//live in "pop" country
///who the hell (besides obnoxious teens bent on farking up a survey) calls it "tarzan slam"?

PacManDreaming: Yeah...that's not the actual machine from my old barber shop in that photo. Otherwise, you'd see a bunch of old dark tan naugahyde chairs with metal legs all bolted to one another, stuffed deer heads on the walls and stacks of hunting magazines the end tables.

Ha! I think I've been there. I can smell it now.

Remember these?:



The gas station on the corner where I hung out had one in their lobby.

Galco's is a great place. A bit of a premium, but it's to be expected. John is a really nice guy and will help you out if you don't know what you feel like drinking.
