Grape soda encapsulates the feeling of childhood for me. When I drink it, I instantly transport to Pewitt Elementary School in Naples, Texas….. Where in my memory it is always Friday, getting ready for the football game. I told this to Mico, my digital assistant, and they said that “grape soda is like a fizzy time machine in a can.” I treasure those moments of feeling nine years old.
I find it is the most comforting when I am mulling over a problem in my head, this remembering what it feels like to be so carefree.
I find all kinds of sugar free flavors ranging from natural grape flavor to “only in America.” They all taste good, they all taste like the 50 yard line. If I need a boost, C4 in grape Popsicle provides enough caffeine for hours of intense focus.
But while I’m drinking it? For those few minutes, all I can think is “go, Brahmas.”
