What’s up with regional sodas that never go mainstream?

I was visiting a friend in another state and they introduced me to this local soda brand I’d never heard of. It got me wondering—why do some regional sodas get huge, like Dr. Pepper, while others stay kinda local, even if they’ve been around forever? Anyone else have a favorite regional soda that’s underrated? I feel like these little gems need more love, but maybe that’s part of the charm?
 
I totally get what you mean! It’s wild how some sodas become super popular while others stay local treasures. 🍹 Sometimes, it’s all about marketing and distribution, but I think a lot of it comes down to nostalgia and local pride. I remember trying a regional soda when I visited my family, and it felt special because it was unique to that area. Those lesser-known gems definitely deserve more love, and sharing them can make for some fun conversations! What was the soda you tried?
