Old-Fashioned Soda Menus

Sonic's Sweet Cream Soda Pop Shoppe is Inspired by an Old-Fashioned Drink

— March 25, 2016 — Lifestyle
Sonic recently began testing its 'Sweet Cream Soda Pop Shoppe' concept menu at various locations. The new menu largely plays into the demand for nostalgia-inspired products and the resurgence of old-fashioned sodas.

The Sweet Cream Soda Pop Shoppe, which has been spotted in both Texas and Kansas, is a retro-themed soda fountain menu. The drinks on the menu consist of sweet cream mixed with soda water, brand name sodas and Sonic's various different syrups and sauces. There are a wide variety of flavors for customers to choose from, including traditional flavors such as Vanilla and Strawberry, as well as more exotic choices such as Green Apple and Blue Coconut Sweet Cream Coke. The drinks are also served with a fun swizzle stick for stirring.

The new soda menu is likely to appeal to customers who appreciate products inspired by old-fashioned favorites.
Trend Themes
1. Nostalgia-inspired Menus - Restaurants can capitalize on the demand for nostalgia by creating menus that feature retro-themed or old-fashioned items.
2. Flavored Sodas - Businesses can innovate their beverage menus by offering a wider range of flavored soda options, including unique combinations and classic flavors.
3. Menu Personalization - Customization options for drinks such as syrups and sauces allow for personalization and could increase customer satisfaction and repeat business.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can create new revenue streams with nostalgia-inspired menus and more beverage customization options.
2. Hospitality - Hotel and restaurant industries can benefit from offering specialty soda menus, particularly for customers seeking exclusive or unique experiences.
3. Retail - Retailers can capitalize on the demand for nostalgia and offer soda fountains or beverage bars in-store, providing an immersive experience for their customers.
