I'm not sure why this isn't just called National Soda Day or something similar, but I guess there are some carbonated, caffeinated beverages that aren't soda (?).
Since soda drinkers usually have their favorite sodas and don't usually stray away from it (I'm a Diet Pepsi guy after a long affair/distraction with Diet Coke), maybe we can take this day to try a carbonated, caffeinated beverage that we've never tried or maybe one we haven't had in years. I'm going to have some Dr Pepper and see if it still tastes like it did the last time I had it, during the Reagan administration I believe.

Sparks is a carbonated, caffeinated beverage that is not a soda (it's a malt liquor maybe?)

I think they're not using "Soda Day" simply because of all the regionalisms we have here in the U.S. to describe carbonated, caffeinated beverages.
Where I am in the East, it's a soda. But in other parts, it's a "pop," "tonic," "coke" (regardless of manufacturer), and I'm sure there are plenty of others folks might share here.

Enough with the stupid food product days. This one might be the stupidest one I've seen so far.

"I'm not sure why this isn't just called National Soda Day"
For the completely obvious reason that not all sodas are caffeinated - 7-Up, for example.

Let me preface this with I am not a coke drinker, but I am a coffee drinker.
My review:
It started off okay, I even may have commented that it wasn't good, but it wasn't bad. By the time I finished it the was like a diabetic Starbucks mermaid had urinated in my mouth.
If you mixed folgers instant crystals into coke, you could easily replicate that over-roasted burned espresso shot Coca-Cola company calls "the coffee essence experience."
Who is this drink for: People who have no fondness for cofffee, no tastebuds, and like to pay extra money for hip little bottles
Who is the drink for: Everyone else with a normal set of chromosones.

Maybe it's just me, but the whole "Happy Yellow Gummi Worm Day" thing just reeks like laziness. Like the morning DJ who pulls up an almanac, finds it's National Pottery Day, and does 3 hours of songs related to pottery.
A few times a year for an interesting day? Awesome. Every day? The opposite of awesome.

I respectfully disagree. We've all got radically different ideas about what constitutes awesome. This is a surefire way to make sure all tastes are tended to and hey -- never a bad thing to bust out of one's taste zone. And it's not like the whole day's worth of posts is dedicated to the holiday. Just the one. I can live with that.
