What is a Dirty Soda?

Remember the viral “dirty soda” craze from a few months back? It’s basically a customizable drink that starts with a soda (like Coke or root beer), then gets mixed with flavored syrups and a creamy splash.

Of course, fans of fizzy concoctions will point out this isn’t exactly groundbreaking. According to Eater:

In the mid-2010s, shops slinging “dirty sodas,” or fountain sodas spiked with cream, flavored syrups, and other add-ins, started popping up all over Utah.

Plus, Italian sodas and egg creams have been around for ages. Then there was the short-lived “Pilk” trend—Pepsi and milk—revived in a 2022 Pepsi campaign with Lindsay Lohan, but made famous decades earlier by Laverne & Shirley. So maybe it’s not a brand-new, but it’s definitely having a moment! And there's a new place in Grand Rapids where you can get it.
