Given Utah's obsession with "Dirty Soda", you'll be able to pick out a person from Utah just by their smile soon.

I was thinking the exact same thing lmao
Simply put, a dirty soda is your typical fountain soda, but with added ingredients such as heavy creams, flavored syrups, candy pieces or fruit juices.
Flavoured syrup is just what fountain soda is made of, so that seems fine. Fruit juice seems fine.
But who the fuck wants heavy cream or candy pieces in a soda? Seriously?
This is what happens when you have a whole society of judgemental teetotalers whose only outlet is mindless treat consumption.
At least straight edge hard-core people have the community and anti-conformity part down.
Well, you see, they have a complicated relationship with beverages over there in Mormondia. Like all religions, Humans find a way to get little God Loopholes, performing unheard-of rules lawyering antics, that eventually arrive at a conclusion of "Cola / Soda is fine with God". I can't speak to the candy pieces, that just has to be some kind of capitalist "innovation" on their part. I'm pretty sure the heavy cream is supposed to provide them some kind of replacement for the "coffee" aesthetic / sensory experience, that is if coffee was carbonated...
never head of an italian soda or a root beer float?
Milkis/calpis
this mf never made pilk
dr pepper is better. lol
so is that dr. pilk? drilk pepper?
approved
i don't know what it's called, but it's lazy; just use ice cream instead.
Clearly I'm insufficiently american since I haven't heard of either of these, but I don't want dairy in anything with carbonation. It viscerally disgusts me.
I'm the same for Ayran, I'm fine with regular Ayran but carbonated Ayran is disgusting.
they're definately acquired tastes and you're better off staying away.
Cream in soda actually slaps. Cream goes well with all kinds of sweet things and having it in sugary drinks is common, plus a lot of sodas already have cream flavored varieties. Can't vouch for the candy though

Gonna look like those Loney Toons piano teeth, falling out one by one.
Wow that is not what I think of when I hear dirty soda and I was wondering how I didn't know that Mormons were notorious for sipping lean.
Getting florified tap water from the next state over and opening a booth at the Utah state Faire to hawk my miracle water that helps protect your teeth from the deep state dentists with one cup a day and charge like twenty bucks for a growler.
Save yourself ten dollars by bringing your own 64 oz growler and swapping bottles!

For context, this was done in Albera not long ago.
Calgary, after decades of agitation by anti-fluoridators, removed fluoride from the water.
10 years later, they brought it back.
Yes, there IS such a thing as too much fluoride. Technically you can die from an overdose of WATER. That dangerous H2O substance can kill you if you ingest too much. Not a joke, water intoxication or water poisoning is real. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/water-intoxication
Point is, fluoride is certain doses is safe and highly effective in preventing tooth decay. There are literally decades of studies.

Water can also be deadly at very low concentrations
Homeopaths vindicated
Utah be like:
fluoride in the water
microplastics in the water
There are two cities where I live that are fairly close to one another (3 hour drive). One banned fluoride, the other didn't. The one that banned fluoride had way more antibiotics use during pediatric dental procedures - and other fun facts like that, because their teeth were rotting out of their heads.
incredible. powerful.
finally, some leaders are taking a stand against the vain devil's bones sometimes called "teeth".
also, fluoride interferes with the chemical receptors in your third eye and makes it difficult to understand the spiritual appeal of Joe Rogan.
Now do lead you fucking cowards
: “Nooo! You see, that would HuRt ThE eCoNoMy! Besides, have you read the psychological effects of lead? Lead makes you a macho man!”
Yes! We must retvrn to traditional flavorings,not this artificial bullshit! Wine tastes best with the sugar of Saturn after all.

Mandrake, have you ever seen a Commie drink water?
I do not avoid women, Mandrake. But I do deny them my essence.
There are some countries that don't fluoridate their water, but my understanding is they do other things like have more comprehensive dental healthcare or they make it up with fluoride from other sources. Like in Japan the toothpaste has like 100x the fluoride it does in the US since they don't fluoridate the water there.
I guess we can all make some money investing in dentistry supplies manufacturers and local dentist shops out there?
Meanwhile, they are doing little to keep the Great Salt Lake from drying up, killing the brine shrimp and birds that depend on it.
It will also release large amounts of arsenic and other toxic substances into airborn dust as it dries up.

There will no longer be chemicals in the water to make the frogs gay
Dumbass decision
so utah is banning flouride in water, for people's health- let me guess, if elon musk wants to dump a bunch of sewer goop into their water supply tho that's not banned?
That's called "entrepreneurship"
Time for someone to plan for a release of Big book of Utahan/Utahnese smiles.
