The Gods of Carbonated Beverages

Here is a transcript of a Facebook conversation that took place last night and today. It compares mythological deities to sodas. I found it amusing. Read more after the jump.
I think Dr. Thunder and Mountain Lightning are the Norse gods of cheap soda.

Steven Harris - well said sir!

Angela Maddox - and you can get a 6 pack for $1 right now at Wal-Mart.

Kyle Hooks - By the beard of Dr. Thunder!!

David Green - Or perhaps they are MADE from the gods... Zeus and Thor = Soilent Soda

Brandon Whaley - DON'T DRINK IT...its made of DEITIES...

Steven Harris - i guess that hercules is responsible for dr. wham then.

Brandon Whaley - Actually Dr. Thunder and Mountain Lightning are both from Thor, because those weak Olympians couldn't make a soda if they tried.

Oh wait, they did. Its Diet Dr. K.

David Green - lol @ Dr. Wham and Diet Dr. K. This is the best thread ever.

Brandon Whaley - Anytime I can combine mythological deities and carbonated beverages is a good time.

Steven Harris - cheerwine and dianesisues?

Brandon Whaley - Nope. Stupid Olympians. Dionysus probably made Fresca or some crap.

Eric Jackson - :( but i likes teh fresca

David Green - I reckon that Odin had a hand in that old Moxy soft drink. You drank that crap to reserve a table in Valhalla.

Brandon Whaley - You're probably right. And I know Loki had something to do with Tab. Or at least New Coke.

Steven Harris - Ra had a hand in crystal clear pepsi

Brandon Whaley - What about Pepsi Blue? C'thulhu?

Steven Harris - the drink you only THINK you taste!

Brandon Whaley - TASTE IT WITH YOUR BRAIN. Insanity +65

Steven Harris - Pepsi Blue.... TASTE THE MYTHOS! lol should have called it pepsi zalgo

Brandon Whaley - PEPSI LOBO

Steven Harris - omg NOOOOOOOOOO! "it fizzed up my NOSE!"

David Green - Cherry Coke = Aphrodite. You know it...

Brandon Whaley - I would label her as Dr. Pepper with Cherry. Its smoooooth.

Steven Harris - ok but Hades has got to be responsible for buffalo rock southern gingerale. you remember that nasty crap in the yellow can at foodland brandon that tasted like gingerale tobasco?

David Green - Death Soda: We guarantee that this is the last brand of soda you will ever drink!

Brandon Whaley - You mean GINGER ale? Haha. Yeah Hades has that or the celery soda.

David Green - I remember I had an off brand called Shasta that had a chocolate-flavored soda. Worst. Soda. Ever. I blame Loki.

Steven Harris - lol. shasta was a BIG name soda in the 70s and early 80s. must have been all the pot smokers. lol. hey thats it. Ja the rasta god is responsible for shasta.

David Green - Hm, soda for those with the munchies... I'd buy it, but they need to expand the franchise. Like BK and McDonald's flavored sodas to truly capture that midnight-munchie sensation.

Brandon Whaley - Doritos-flavored soda would be a must. But yes Shasta was gross.

Steven Harris - whats about jones thanksgiving dinner sodas? turkey and gravy, mashed taters, corn on the cob, and stuffing, and cranberry sauce?

Steven Harris - this truly is the greatest thread ever!

David Green - Oh, yes, feast-flavored sodas. Dionysus would be pleased. But let's not talk about the other sodas he would be pleased with >.<

Brandon Whaley - Ew.

Steven Harris - i think its called squirt. lol

Brandon Whaley - OH! That's rough.

David Green - lol, that's too much. And I'm shocked I didn't think of that. Dionysus is now overjoyed.

  1. I fucking love this. Particularly the Odin-Moxy comment. I've had that stuff...you're not too far off on the whole Valhalla thing. OH and the Cherry/Dr. Pepper-Aphrodite remarks were truly inspired.

    This whole conversation was like going to a comic-shop on a Saturday. Y'know how there's a quota of the token comedian-fan boy at every shop? This was like that, but all the fun customers showed up to clear their boxes at once. That's exactly what this was like.

  2. That's pretty much how I felt about it, and I thought, "I can't deprive the world at large of such wonder."
