New Craft Soda Store Recently Just Opened In Chicago
When I was growing up, out of all my friends, I think we were the only family to have pop in our house consistently. My buddies loved coming over, and I became a fan of pop earlier in my life. It wasn't anything fancy. I believe my mom paid 6 cans for $1. I remember being different flavors, and I was a fan of that.

According to Pop Culture Chicago...
We’re more than a soda shop; we’re a carefully curated playground of flavor, nostalgia, and discovery.
From over 100 craft and hard-to-find soda brands—featuring everything from classic root beers to adventurous picks like yuzu, matcha lemonade, and strawberry-rhubarb—to a rotating mix of vintage finds, collectibles, art, music, toys, and gifts, there’s always something new to stumble upon.
As an adult, I don't drink a lot of soda. I drink it as a treat every once in a while. When my wife and I travel, we like to find those nostalgia candy shops. They will usually have that old-time pop, too. I just found out about one in Chicago that we're definitely going to have to check out. It's called POP/Culture Chicago.

POP/Culture Chicago specializes in craft soda. That stuff is so delicious. They carry hard-to-find pop. You can find over 100 different kinds of specialty soft drinks in their store. This place also sells nostalgia items like candy, toys, art, shirts, hats, and many other unique items.
