This was my Simpsons bathroom book as a kid. No idea how many times I read this.

Additionally, you'll be about to see this review of Mac and Cheese Cream Soda on the site here in the upcoming week if all goes well.

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?

Here's a picture. In TX we have frontage roads (Called Feeders in Houston) that run along side our freeways for easy access. They are including those lanes in the count.

I was using the wayback machine and decided to turn it towards my own site. I want you to look at the links in the heading. We've been around so long that a "Zune" link existed. This snap is from 2010, two years after we began. If you want to see the OG site go here thesodajerks.livejournal.com

A look at the 2010 heading of the website "thesodajerks.net". The heading links include "Welcome", "Soda Reviews", "Soda News", "Fan Reviews", "RSS Feed", "Archives", "About Us", "E-mail Us", "Popcast", "Merchandise", "Facebook", "Itunes", "Zune", "YouTube", and "Login"

Cover art, just because I think it's cool.

Random Refrigerator Magnets: I can't think of a fridge in my life this magnet has not been on, so I assume it's older than me. Late 70's perhaps?

This is a Hershey's wrapper, on a Goodbar, on a Krackle. From one of those packs that have the four tiny candy bars. I was surprised to see they are all different sizes. Krackle is the green peaking out. Goodbar the traditional red and yellow. Hershey the pink and brown.

A soda company was having a contest to name their mascot and I won!! Spencer Spirit! Now I get a glass blown version of him. No Spirit makes non alcoholic versions of Whiskey and Cola, Rum and Cola, and Gin and Tonic. The Whiskey and Cola (Cowboy Cola) is especially great

Was anyone else part of the Moola Moola Club? It was basically a bank account for kids back in the late 80's early 90's. Apparently it still exists in some places.

This book came out when I was in elementary school. I saw it on the shelf and after I returned my book and came back it was gone. It was checked out the remainder of the year and I never got to read it until now... to my kid. 100% worth the wait. What a fun, weird, book.

Another win for HEB. On the gas pumps you can choose between Media, Traffic, or Weather. Traffic and Weather have rotating ads at the bottom, but they are silent. So the pump gets interaction from me and my eyeballs.
