What flavors should Swig release in Tampa Bay?

We’re dreaming up some dream, dirty soda flavors for the Utah-based chain.

Two glasses of soda sit on a table, appearing to be filled with a cola, ice, and straws.

We’ll take a Rum and Coke, sans hangover.

Hey TBAY, City Editor Bailey here. One of my truest loves, other than dessert, is unfortunately soda. So when I say the news about Swig coming to Tampa is a personal triumph, I mean it.

The TikTok-famous, Utah-based, “dirty soda” company is known for jazzing up Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper, and other classic sodas with half n’ half, coconut, and all kinds of other accoutrements. I came up with a few TBAY-inspired concoctions — just in case the folks at Swig need my aspartame expertise.

  • Pirate’s Bounty: Like the beloved snack, you won’t be be able to get enough of this blend of Dr. Pepper, Nerds, half n’ half, and cherry.
  • Rum and Coke: Like your favorite Gaspy cocktail, but skip the alcohol and add vanilla, clove, and coconut to Coke.
  • The Creamsicle: A true ode to Florida’s citrus groves, this blend would feature Fanta, a touch of Sprite, and a good dollop of cream. Talk about summertime magic.
