And that's it for the sodas @sakkiijay.bsky.social gave me. Six brands I'd never tried before. Fifteen sodas I'd never tried before. Ten flavors I'd never tried before. And, except for the botanicals, I enjoyed all of them.

Sakkii Soda Day Fifteen: Brand: Pennsylvania Dutch Flavor: Birch Beer. This poured out with more of a red tint than I was expecting from a birch beer. Overall, not bad. A little more robust than the Reading Draft Birch Beer.

That is simply gorgeous. Your stuff looks sooo soft

Sakkii Soda Day Fourteen: Brand: Teddys Flavor: Root Beer. Pretty good root beer. Would definitely drink again.

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Thirteen: Brand: Reading Soda Works Flavor: Strawberry Mint Lemongrass. Open the bottle and the smell of strawberries wafted out. Like real strawberries from the field. Take a sip, first taste is strawberry, second taste is MINT. The mint basically erased the strawberry.

I tried that dialect quiz (mydialect.us/quiz-standar...) Despite living in Maine for decades, I still skew Masshole. I suspect it's only partly how I say certain words, but words I choose.

Sakkii Soda Day Twelve: Brand: Kutztown Flavor: Root Beer. Finally got to a root beer. I randomly sorted the list of sodas and it's wild both root beers ended up near the end. I enjoyed this. I swear it tasted like a root beer cream, like there was a smooth undertaste with the root beer flavor.

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Eleven: Brand: Kutztown Flavor: Sarsaparilla. I've never had sasparilla/sarsaparilla before. Like #Moxie and birch beer, it's a root beer from a different root. From what I've read, this drink is no longer made using Sarsaparilla or Sassafras but other ingredients to come close.

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Ten Brand: Reading Soda Works Flavor: Peach Basil. I'm not a fan of peach. I'll eat a peach cobbler if I have to, but it's not one of my favorite fruits. I didn't really notice the peach in this. It smells a bit peach but mostly flowery and

I like QR Codes, but what idiot thought it was a good idea to put them on the ads before movies? Okay, maybe your phone's camera can resolve the QR code from yards away, but most theaters have poor cell signal so it's going to be difficult to pull up the page.

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Nine Brand: Reading Draft Flavor: Honey Pear. Disclosure, I don't like pears. I gave this a try anyway. I didn't get as MUCH of a pear taste as I was expecting (flavor probably muted by the honey) but...I didn't like it. @benny-g.bsky.social liked it, he finished off the bottle.

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Eight Brand: ADK (Adirodnack) Flavor: Cola. A decent cola. Though if you're used to a specific cola like Coke or Pepsi, trying any other cola's going to taste a little weird at first. So I thought I'd never had ADK soda before, but wikipedia says they used to make Waist Watcher

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Seven Brand: Reading Draft Flavor: Birch Beer. Never had birch beer before ( @benny-g.bsky.social : "Really?"). Honestly, not bad. Kind of like a root beer but mellower, a tamer flavor. If Moxie is like Friday at 5:01p, then birch beer is like Monday at 9:15a. Would drink again.

010

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Six Brand: Fresh Fizz Flavor: Sparkling Mint Lemonade. The can lists 4 ingredients: Carbonated water, organic lemon juice, organic honey, organic mint. And I didn't like it. They use honey instead of sugar which might have been fine except...the mint really didn't do it for me.

110

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Five: Brand: Reading Draft Flavor: Grape Smoothie. I don't recall if I've had grape soda before. Grape-flavored drinks, yes. Carbonated soda? Not sure. This one was very grape flavored, and grape scented. The aroma wafted from the mug after I poured it.

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I do have a question about the label. Is "Drink 'til it's all!" a regional saying or did someone not proofread. I've been through PA, I can believe it's a saying.

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Four: Brand: Kutztown Flavor: Red Cream. First time trying Kutztown. I have had red cream before (mostly Big Red soda). It's a vanilla flavored soda with red coloring but I swear I can taste the redness. Eh, who cares, I love 🔴. Pretty good taste. Would definitely try again

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Three: Brand: Reading Draft Flavor: Blueberry Birch. I'd never had a birch beer soda before. I have, infrequently, tried blueberry soda. Honestly, it was okay. Like Cheerwine, it reminded me of cough syrup, but where Cheerwine had a cherry flavor,

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day Two: Brand: Teddy's Flavor: Strawberry & Cream. I've never had strawberry & cream soda before, or any strawberry soda. Less punch, more smoother than the orange. You almost don't even notice the cream side at first. Still, a decent drink. Would quaff again.

000

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Sakkii Soda Day One: Brand: Teddy's Flavor: Orange & Cream. I've had orange & cream flavored sodas before. If you haven't tried it, it's like an orangesicle.🍊🍧 Hmm, which came first, orangesicles or orange & cream soda? 🤔

RunningRed NightBringer @runningred.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

So I was thrilled when @sakkiijay.bsky.social came to Maine a little while ago and gifted me an actual sack of sodas from his neck of the woods. I'd never heard of these brands before and never tried some of the flavors (like birch beer).

It didn't occur to me until this month to actually buy the cider from the farms directly. Got a few bottles from a nice place in Springvale (and not the apple farm that hosted Trump rallies). Also picked up some cider donuts too that are yum.

If you're a Mainer like me, your mailbox has probably filled up with this shit from the Collins Campaign to Keep Fucking over America. I don't believe any of the smear campaign against Troy Jackson. It just tells me that Collins is terrified of him. And the pro-Susan fliers are juts...100% lies.

Saw this and thought of @existentialcomics.com Kwirkegard, a villain who created an existential depression gun and thought to use it...on New Yorkers of all people.

Came across this on Twitter, thought I'd give it a try. Curious that I scored so low on Determination, I always saw that as one of my strengths. I suspect it's because some questions didn't distinguish between legit determination and failing to recognize Sunken Cost Fallacy. 🤔

One of the vendors I absolutely had to visit was @transformartive.com. I picked up an ashcan comic and some badges. MrWolf for @benny-g.bsky.social, and I love popcorn, so I must be a popfur. That's...what that term means, right? And a cool bag and red tinted glasses to show the hidden secrets.
