Adding different flavors + creams to sodas has been around for over 100 years 🤯
Being a “soda jerk” was a popular profession throughout the 1920s to the 1950s. “Jerk” was used as a play on soda clerk, in addition to the aggressive pulling or “jerking” of the handle necessary to get carbonated water into the glass for mixing.
The term “dirty soda” was coined 16 years ago by the founder of Swig, a popular dirty soda chain. While the craze is newer to the 319 area, these delicious beverages have been around for decades 😋
