What is a dirty soda?
Dirty soda is one of America’s latest sugary obsessions, gaining popularity through social media and reality shows like “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
The drink is made of soda mixed with coffee creamer and syrups, according to Eater. It originated in Utah, where many communities abstain from drinking alcohol and caffeine.
Utah is also where the first Crumbl location opened, according to Crumbl’s website.
