Given Utah's obsession with "Dirty Soda", you'll be able to pick out a person from Utah just by their smile soon.

I was thinking the exact same thing lmao

Simply put, a dirty soda is your typical fountain soda, but with added ingredients such as heavy creams, flavored syrups, candy pieces or fruit juices.

Flavoured syrup is just what fountain soda is made of, so that seems fine. Fruit juice seems fine.

But who the fuck wants heavy cream or candy pieces in a soda? Seriously?

This is what happens when you have a whole society of judgemental teetotalers whose only outlet is mindless treat consumption.

At least straight edge hard-core people have the community and anti-conformity part down.

Well, you see, they have a complicated relationship with beverages over there in Mormondia. Like all religions, Humans find a way to get little God Loopholes, performing unheard-of rules lawyering antics, that eventually arrive at a conclusion of "Cola / Soda is fine with God". I can't speak to the candy pieces, that just has to be some kind of capitalist "innovation" on their part. I'm pretty sure the heavy cream is supposed to provide them some kind of replacement for the "coffee" aesthetic / sensory experience, that is if coffee was carbonated...

i don't know what it's called, but it's lazy; just use ice cream instead.

Clearly I'm insufficiently american since I haven't heard of either of these, but I don't want dairy in anything with carbonation. It viscerally disgusts me.

I'm the same for Ayran, I'm fine with regular Ayran but carbonated Ayran is disgusting.

they're definately acquired tastes and you're better off staying away.

Cream in soda actually slaps. Cream goes well with all kinds of sweet things and having it in sugary drinks is common, plus a lot of sodas already have cream flavored varieties. Can't vouch for the candy though

Gonna look like those Loney Toons piano teeth, falling out one by one.

Wow that is not what I think of when I hear dirty soda and I was wondering how I didn't know that Mormons were notorious for sipping lean.
