Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Soda Fountain
For last week's Weekend Cook and Tell we opted to leave the cooking part out and stay cool with a challenge all about refreshing summer beverages of the carbonated sort. We asked all of you to belly up to the Soda Fountain and share your best recipes for homemade pop. Here's a peak at our fizziest favorites.Is $5 Too Much To Pay For a Coke?
I'm even fine with paying $5 or more for a soft drink at a super fancy restaurant where it's served to me in a real glass with ice by a professional waiter or bartender. But $5 for a Coke that I had to walk up to a counter to pick up myself, that I had to pay for immediately, that was served in a glass bottle with no cup, no ice, and not even a straw? Am I being unreasonable?My Latest Obsession: Cheerwine, the Cherry-Flavored Pop
I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but when I crave something sweet, it's usually for something that comes in liquid form. Dr. Pepper—which incidentally is the oldest commercial soft drink, created in 1885, a full year before Coca-Cola was introduced—usually does the trick, with its fruity-cola-medicinal flavor. But when I can get my hands on it, Cheerwine, the cherry-flavored pop from North Carolina with a cult-like following, blows the good Doctor right out of the water.Serious Reads: The Coke Machine by Michael Blanding
Even if you eschew sodas of all sorts, opening a Powerade, Nestea, Odwalla, or Dasani bottle (among many others) still supports the Coca-Cola Company. This global soft-drinks brand is colossal, with a net revenue of over $30 billion in 2009. And the company has come up against some serious backlash, both for its products' nutritional values and for its questionable actions overseas. Michael Blanding explores these controversies in The Coke Machine: The Dirty Truth Behind the World's Favorite Soft Drink.Quiz: How Much Do You Know About Soda?
Let's test your knowledge on soda (or pop, or cola, whatever you call it). Take the quiz! »Weekend Poll: Do You Prefer Regular or Diet Soda?
A secret about Serious Eats: we're an office of diet soda guzzlers. Not every one of us, and not to the exclusion of other beverages; still, last week, three 12-packs of Diet Coke disappeared within less than three days. (Yikes!) But plenty of people won't touch diet soda—or won't touch soda at all. Where do you stand?Gadgets: Sodastream
[Photo: Sodastreamusa.com] More Gadgetry Decorating Pen by Cuisipro » All Gadgets reviews » Growing up, I remember my dad drinking a six pack of Coke every day—sometimes more. When it became a health concern, we switched him to seltzer (all the bubbles, no high fructose corn syrup), and it's been the miracle diet that could. The only catch? Now the rest of my family drinks seltzer with him, and they go through more 12-packs a week than I'd care to count. It's a clear expense, and it would seem you could put bubbles in your water for a lot less than the shelf cost. Enter the Sodastream. For those of you who haven't heard of it yet, the Sodastream...Poll: What Do You Call Cola Drinks?
©iStockphoto.com/AndrewJohnson After Adam organized his Pepsi Throwdown tasting this week, the age-old question came up at Serious Eats HQ. Are you a "soda" or "pop" person? Or, are you one of those crazy cats who just calls everything Coke (then specifies what kind of "Coke")? Take the poll! »...Video: Special Coke Machine Dispenses More Than Just Soda
Sure, it's a naked attempt at viral video. And, sure, we're playing into it. But it's a fun spot, nonetheless. Pizza from a vendo? Yes, please. Vid, after the jump....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
