Dirty sodas have moved from novelty to the mainstream. What was once a social media trend now gets sold at McDonald's and Target, and even PepsiCo has embraced the idea with its own ready-to-drink (RTD) dirty sodas.
Retailers and restaurants have embraced the trend, with 2.7% of U.S. eateries offering a carbonated soft drink that includes cream or milk, up from 1.5% a decade ago, according to CNBC, citing Datassential.
Target has jumped on the dirty soda bandwagon as well, offering up a "secret" menu of dirty sodas that can be made with one of its own beverage lines, and selling an exclusive RTD drink line from Slice.
While dirty soda has become a growing trend, it's important to understand the background and where the idea came from — Mormons in Utah who don't drink alcohol.
Utah-based drink chain Swig created "dirty soda" back in 2010.
