Pops! Another Kick on Route 66

Pop Pop Fizz Fizz, Hundreds of Colas Found on Route 66

I have found another kick on Route 66.

This one is located six miles east of Interstate 35 in Arcadia, Oklahoma and it is called POPS.

The combined gas station restaurant opened in August of 2007 and features hundreds flavors of sodas.

The walls are mostly glass and are lined with soda bottles that depict soda history.

They come in all colors, shapes and sizes.

From the everyday popular brands such as Pepsi, Coke and Dr. Pepper to the somewhat unheard of, Formula No. 53 Road Rage Red and Charlie O's Strawberry, and Jolt Cola, they all can be found here.

Some of the colas feature a Route 66 label and pop cap so if you are a Route 66 memorabilia collector you will want to visit this store.

Out in front of the building is a 66-foot steel soda bottle sculpture. Oh and it has a straw.

At night the sculpture is lit with light emitting diode (LED) lights.

The lights rotate up and down the bottle creating an appearance of different flavors of cola.

If gasoline is needed, there are super mod fuel pumps located underneath a canopy to fill the need.

If your feeling weak and need food before taking a look at the array of colas, you can refuel on premium hand dipped shakes, 10 flavors to choose from, and or other menu items which feature breakfast, lunch and dinner items.

Now back to the colas.

Visitors can handpick a six pack or 12 pack of cola.

Old fashion like wood crates are available to bring your custom 12 pack home in. The crates cost $12 and the sodas are on average $2 a bottle.

My custom 12 pack includes Rat Bastard Root Beer; Hank's Birch Beer; Pig Iron Cola; Virgil's Cream Soda; High Mountain Huckleberry Soda; Sonoma Peach Sparkler; Route 66 Orange Soda; Sonoma Natural Blood Orange Sparkler; Route 66 Lime Soda; Route 66 Root Beer; Route 66 Black Cheery Soda, and Cocio Natural Chocolate Milk.

My friend and fellow Associated Content writer, Cindy Blevins was thrilled to find her beloved Sun Drop at POPs. It seems that is a favorite in the state of Tennessee.

If I have peaked your interest but you can't make the trip to Oklahoma to pick out your flavors, never fear you can log onto www.pops66.com and pick out your pop and have it shipped to you.
