So, I made soda.

[Who wants to be a guinea pig member of a focus group? Peter has soda.]

I've made it in a variety of flavours, native and otherwise, and I've even managed to brew something similar to stuff back home.

[Does anyone want a can of Smoca-Smola? Please don't sue.]

I've tested all of them myself, so they're not poisonous, but I have used all natural ingredients, so if you're allergic to the thing, don't drink the thing.

Oh, and this focus group? Foreigners only for now. Just in case something bad does happen.

[A pause.]

I mean, it won't? But... Just in case, y'know. Also, 18+. I don't do experimenting on kids.

[Yes, Peter is bored, so he made soda.]

What is 'soda'?

[Video]

[consultingbishop]

Fizzy drinks made by carbonating the water and flavouring it with things.

[Video]

[shroudofgray]

They have things like that made with fruit. Those are soda?

[Video]

[consultingbishop]

Depends. Are they fizzy?

[reluctantaccessory]

Soda?

(She wasn't much of a fan of the drinks - but it would be nice to have a little reminder of home. Even if it made her a test subject - well, maybe that was a little too strongly worded.)

Uh, sure. I mean, I wouldn't mind trying it.

[consultingbishop]

[He's picked up on the hesitation, there.]

You don't have to, y'know. I'm not forcing you.

[reluctantaccessory]

I just never really drank much soda back home. But, it'd still be nice to have something sort of familiar.

(Marie smiles slightly.)

[consultingbishop]

Alrighty. So. Standard disclaimer. I hold no responsibility for any weird illnesses and side effects created by ingesting and imbibing these beverages.

I mean... There's a rare chance that'll happen, but, yeah. Just to be on the safe side.

[lasergrenades]

[Pepper mostly glosses over the risk in her head and appears on screen positively beaming with excitement.]

Oh my gosh, I love soda. I am so there.

[Thank goodness for turning eighteen last year!]

[consultingbishop]

Alright. Fine by me.

You're willing to accept that I hold no responsibility for any weird illnesses and side effects created by ingesting and imbibing these beverages?

Standard disclaimer. Gotta cover my ass. They'll be fine. I've been drinking them myself.

[lasergrenades]

Yeah, sure, whatever. Can't be any worse than what happened when Tony attached a bit of tech belonging to an evil organization to my head. And hey, free soda!

[She maybe cares less than she should.]

When do we start?

[consultingbishop]

I'll note your name down and let you know when I get a decent group together.

A+ on the no experimenting with kids part. [Danny kind of hoped that that meant no experimenting on other kid-like things as well. ]

Um, but how do you make soda?

video

[consultingbishop]

Yeah, well, bad experiences. [And of course it does.] Even if this isn't so much as an experiment, more a test of my skills as a brewer.

And that? Trade secret. Although, it's simple enough.

[He's smiling. Sorry, Danny, but he's aiming to market this.]

Re: video

[schrodingersghost]

Just wondering. As far as I know, it comes out of a bottle.

video

[consultingbishop]

Sorry, kiddo, I am thinking of selling it, after all.

[looksfine]

[Did somebody say soda science?]

...may I ask what this soda you speak of is?

video

[consultingbishop]

Earth drink. Sugar, Carbonated water and flavourings, usually. And some other stuff.

video

[looksfine]

I see.

[Besides the "other" stuff, that didn't seem dangerous. Her understanding of basic checmical compounds led her to believe that combination was, indeed, nonpoisonous. Perhaps even edible among many species.]

And, in your culture, it is...restricted to consumption to those of a mature age?

[Since he mandated 18+]

[sexysunglassess]

is it sweet?

[ The most important of questions. ]

[consultingbishop]

Usually, yeah.

[sexysunglassess]

That's great! Then I'll try some! But only the sweet ones! I don't do sour!

[mrsarcastic003]

I am so, so in.

I don' t suppose you've come up with anything like grape zesti? Of all the food-slash-drink products I miss from home, that's at the top of the list.

[video]

[consultingbishop]

No, but I'll add it to the list.

[mrsarcastic003]

[grin]

You will be my own personal hero if you can manage it.
