We had an entire smorgasbord of pop deliciousness yesterday for (non) metal Monday! We started with some strawberry pen, doc POP, and wild berry POPpi sodas. We ate some Mexican style street corn POPcorn, lemon blueberry crumb POP- tarts, Loud Mouth Bites POPping candy, sugar cookie waffle cones, cooking butter Chips Ahoy cookies, Pool float candy gummies, peppermint cocoa Goldfish, and POP'd Skittles. We added some heat with the Hawaiian lava flow, Rio De Janeiro Carnival habanero, Death Valley Rattler, and Dragon's Breath garlic got sauces. We finished it off with the Tox Brewing Poltergeist, Juicy Thoughts Pale ale, Evil Santa holiday milk stout, and Alesmith Speedway Stout beers! It's been fun switching up the genres but next week we're back to the metal 🤘
