A Recent Expedition Bears Strange Fruit
January 20, 2008
As the Soda Jerk, I scour the globe to find the most exotic flavors of sugar water available. My most recent excursion took me into the heart of the Orient, by which I mean the Silver Wok grocery store in Chapel Hill. With a bevy of strange containers before me, I returned with the four soft drinks you see before you. I omitted the fifth can I purchased once I realized I’d accidentally bought coconut milk.
Stay tuned for the exciting details of these astonishing elixirs!
The Soda Jerk 
Read your ‘Suicide Chef’ piece in Opium, really enjoyed it.
Try Ale-8-One, Kentucky’s own soft drink — good stuff. http://ale8one.com/ I’m a bit biased, being a Kentucky girl. But it’ll blow yer hair back.
Well thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it š
And thanks for the tip on Ale-8-One. I’m intrigued by the recipe section of their website. I think I’d like to try the pork chops with Asian Ale-8-One sauce.
