The world of soda is vast and SodaSeekers aka Griffin Parker (@sodaseekers) joins us this week to help us navigate it. 

A Sporked Contributor and beverage expert, Griffin possesses an immense amount of knowledge (likely stored in his beard) about a variety of snacky topics including the truth behind Coca-Cola’s recent real sugar announcement, the intricacies of running a cotton candy business, the energy drink industry’s crazy competition between companies such as Red Bull Alani Nu, Celsius, and Ghost, and much more. Beyond the fun facts, the world of drinks is constantly changing, especially with it becoming rather political in recent years, so consider this your catchup on all the haps.

At this point, SodaSeekers is the largest independent non-alcoholic beverage-focused page on Instagram. It’s a mouthful, but it takes a hell of a lot to get there including internet-breaking inside scoops and some very sexy graphic design skills. It’s rare that we have a guest with such subject matter expertise, so crack a can of your favorite drink and get ready for this absolute trip of an episode.
