I thought it had to be sweet. I don’t know too many children that would like soda water.
I used to read about it in Bobbsey Twins books.

Soda as in coke, pepsi, rootbeer….soda pop.

Um, yes (blushes and looks bashful).
Hugo picked it up an auction for me.
It now holds sheep propaganda. Far less exciting.

@motherof5, that last photo! Is that for real? I see less impressive displays of our patterns in most of the stores I visit.
