What an awesome old guy with a cool store. This is the kind of feel good thing I like to see.

Some people are lucky enough to be crazy in just the right way, so that it brings joy to themselves and everyone else.

I had no idea Kosher Coke was made with cane sugar.
I know Mexican Coke is. Mexican bottlers can't afford HFCS and Jews who keep kosher wouldn't let that crap into their bodies.
I also had no idea Rock N' Rye was pretty much exclusive to/invented in Detroit. I'd just assumed that every region of the US has their own cheapo soda maker with their own variant on it.
I'd be tempted to get really really dressed up, withdraw a hundred dollar bill, go in there, and ask for the fanciest soda.

Camonk Mexican coke is awesome as hell.
|
Syd Midnight You can tell he's barely making a profit because his total passion is selling soda, so even rare stuff wouldn't be too expensive.

That guy makes me happy. I hardly ever drink soda anymore but I would hang out in his store all the time. DRINKING VEGETABLES.

I love Galco's, it's about three miles from my house. John's a really nice guy, and, sodas aside, he makes kick ass subs. The store is in Los Angeles, in the Highland Park area if anyone's local. He's got an online store where you can order whatever soda from him. http://www.sodapopstop.com/

dododge Shipping prices are a killer, though; not surprising since it's heavy glass bottles full of water. To Maryland it about doubles the cost.
That didn't stop me from putting together a sampler pack anyway. I've got to know what some of those things taste like.
|
Evilhead Usually very good!
And what's great is I think he distributes his soda around the general LA area, at least for hip restaurants. Most places I like have a fridge with at least a few different types of untypical sodas.

I had some celery soda a couple months back at this health food store in Bemidji, MN. It was tastier than it deserved to be.
