What is dirty soda?

According to Nestle, dirty soda is a TikTok sensation that involves mixing carbonated soda with a splash of coffee creamer, and sometimes fruits and flavored syrups.

The origins of "dirty soda" are unknown, but the trend began to pick up in 2010 when Swig, dubbed the "home of 'dirty' soda," opened up in St. George, Utah. The soda business grew in popularity in a predominant Mormon area, according to the New York Times, as the church prohibits drinks hot caffeinated like tea and coffee. 

The drink gained nationwide popularity in December 2021 when singer Olivia Rodrigo posted a picture of herself holding a Swig cup on Instagram. Eater reported in April 2022 there were over 700,000 mentions of #dirtysoda on TikTok following Rodrigo's post.
