I think the extra annoyance is counteracted by the gains in customizability IMO

Where else are you going to be able to get Peach Sprite or Vanilla Fanta?

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

Or diet everything.

Almost any gas station has those syrup pumps, and here in Utah, we have a soda shop (like Swig) on almost every corner.

This is very much a Utah thing. Specifically because of Mormons. Do you think every other state is like that?

Most gas stations definitely do not have syrup pumps.

Idk, I grew up in WA and saw them there, and I've seen them at gas stations along the way in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (we drive back once/year).

The smaller gas stations don't seem to have them, but the larger ones do, especially those "oasis" stations. And we tend to stop at larger gas stations, so maybe that colors my perspective here.

Once upon a time for sure, shockingly getting more and more rare ime

It’s because of mormons! I’ve seen it on the YouTube!

That's actually more true than not. These soda shops are essentially an alternative to coffee shops for those who believe drinking coffee and tea are bad. It's the same caffeine fix, but without being coffee or tea.

Now I'm wondering what the Mormon position on GamerSupps is?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not sure if joke about waifus or legitimate question about energy drinks...

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Would you believe me if I said it was both?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Hmm, seems like too much credit for a vault dweller.

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Peach or strawberry Sprite is my go to
