5-1 Soda Pop

Soda pop in American popular culture. Soda pop, soda, coke or pop has been in American popular culture for over 120 years with Coca Cola starting the addiction. Soda pop is all over American culture there is adds everywhere in art, magazines, TV, billboards and just about anywhere else you can put print and graphics on. I started drinking soda, as my mom was a soda drinker and every kid wants a soda and I was on exception. There have been many brands of soda thorough the years that has come and gone with Coke and Pepsi products still leading the industry. Soda pop is big business and theses two companies are the biggest in the world. Soda pop is very appealing to young and old alike, in that when cold and you’re thirsty they can be refreshing.
My soda of choice is Mountain Dew. I had a friend that traveled across the country on bicycle, I asked what he did when he rode, what he saw on his trails. He said when he was bored or just watching the road ahead of him; he noticed a lot of garbage on the sides of the roads with most of the garbage being Mountain Dew bottles and cans. He said the Mountain Dew garbage out numbered all other sodas and garbage he seen. He did not remember certain views or buildings all he could talk about was all the Mountain Dew garbage.
Soda pop isn’t that good for you, but it is good and sweet and people will continue to drink it even if it makes you fat. My kids drink pop, as much as I don’t like the kids having pop, I feel that I have to let a kid be a kid as all the others in the world for over 100 years now. Children love soda pop and my daughter is no exception, but she did on her own will quit drinking pop for 1 year. Very good for a 13 year old kid, I would have never had that will now or at 13.
With all the different soda pops on the market, kids and adults still like the traditional sodas, even if we know all the different sugars are not good for a person. For some it is a guilty pleasure, for others it is an addiction, but for all of America it is POPular culture.
