People are hyping a "new" trend:  "Heavy soda."  It's where fountain drink machines offer a version of Pepsi or something, with a larger ratio of syrup.  It supposedly started at gas stations in south Missouri.  Do you ever find yourself sucking down a fountain drink and thinking, "Man, I wish this was SWEETER"?  Well, this would do it.

People online are hyping a new trend called "heavy soda," which is apparently catching on at some gas station soda machines. It isn't really "new" . especially in south Missouri where it supposedly started, but it's just now going viral on social media. If a business has a soda fountain machine, they can sometimes adjust the settings to change the ratio of syrup.  And places are INCREASING the syrup to maximize the sweetness, and then labeling it "HEAVY."

Some people are warning about the obvious health concerns . . . but there is a practical explanation too:  "It's for people who buy a big soda in the morning.  As the ice melts all day, 'heavy' ends up tasting normal instead of watery."

What "trend" will they come up with next?
