Since moving to Utah, we have noticed a few things that are uniquely Utah.
Take this…

Or this…

And this…

And one of my all-time favorites…

I am slowly getting educated on the soda culture in Utah.
I’ve seriously never seen anything like it –places like Swig, Sodalicious and Fiiz everywhere. These are small soda shops (sometimes nothing more than a small shack) with drive-thru windows that sell sodas with flavor shots.
Seriously, I’ve seen cars lined up there at 8 in the morning. And, it’s not as simple as ordering a Diet Coke at McDonald’s.
And each shop has its own lingo. Try saying, “I’ll have a 32-ounce Big Al with extra ice” or “Give me an 16-ounce Endless Summer please.”
What you’ll be ordering with the Big Al is a Diet Coke with a shot of coconut and lime. An Endless Summer is Mountain Dew, Powerade with a shot of coconut.
Yes, Utah is Soda Land.


And finally, there’s this…
The scenery is so different from one end of the state to the other. We can see lush green mountains on one end of the state and red rock canyons on the other. And, it’s all uniquely beautiful.
Welcome to Utah.
Only in Utah. Love your blog. xoxo Greg
