I Tried The Viral Dirty Soda From Swig

From The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to TikTok, these soda shops are everywhere.

I've tried to understand how dirty sodas became so popular in Utah, and the best I can garner is that coffee and tea are not consumed by many in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints faith. Depending on how devout your Mormonism is, you may or may not choose to consume coffee or tea because of a Revelation related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints received in 1833 which says, and I quote, “Hot drinks are not for the body." In 1833, it was thought that the most common “hot drinks” were coffee and tea.

Here's everything I ordered:

Jessi's Drink:

Texas tab

—32 oz Dr Pepper

—Splash vanilla

—Splash coconut cream

Demi's Drink:

—44 oz sparkling water

—Sugar-free coconut

—Sugar-free vanilla

—Sugar-free raspberry

—Sugar-free pineapple

—Coconut cream

Layla's Drink:

Bloody Wild, add coconut cream

—Mountain Dew

—Mango puree

—Strawberry puree

—Coconut cream

Nara Smith's Drink:

Island Time

—32 oz Fresca

—Add passion fruit

—Mango puree

—Coconut cream

—Fresh orange slice

And because I love Sprite so much that I have a literal Sprite Can tattoo on my arm, I also tried "The Missionary" after asking the workers what Sprite drink I should try.

The Missionary:

—Sprite

—Tiger’s Blood (a combination of strawberry, watermelon, and a smaller amount of coconut)

—coconut cream

Overall rating? 6/10 because it made me rethink my hatred of Mountain Dew.

Would I drink it again? Yes, but I would take Tums after.

Overall rating? 2.5/10. Some points for literally having water in it.

Would I drink it again? Yes, but only if it was the only thing I could drink, yanno?

Overall rating? 8.5/10! Lacking some points because the coconut cream made curds on top again, and unfortunately, I looked at it before drinking it. I'm sorry, but it literally makes me want to puke thinking about it now.

Would I drink it again? Absolutely. Actually, I went to Swig again and ordered one lol. But I didn't look at the coconut cream this time. :)

Overall rating? 5/10. It was like...too much? I feel like it would have been monumentally more drinkable if I had been able to somehow water it down.

Would I drink it again? Yes, but it would not be my first choice, and I would sleep next to the toilet.

Overall rating? 8/10, dinged for curds and also because Sprite is absolutely perfect on its own and doesn't need to be changed. <3

Would I drink it again? Yes, but I would nix the coconut cream and get a bigger size!!!
