Almost any gas station has those syrup pumps, and here in Utah, we have a soda shop (like Swig) on almost every corner.

I thought tea was illegal in Utah.

No, and soda isn't tea anyway. Not sure what you're getting at.

Tea being illegal in Utah.

You're thinking of magnets

It’s because of mormons! I’ve seen it on the YouTube!

That's actually more true than not. These soda shops are essentially an alternative to coffee shops for those who believe drinking coffee and tea are bad. It's the same caffeine fix, but without being coffee or tea.

Now I'm wondering what the Mormon position on GamerSupps is?

Not sure if joke about waifus or legitimate question about energy drinks...

Would you believe me if I said it was both?

Hmm, seems like too much credit for a vault dweller.

Once upon a time for sure, shockingly getting more and more rare ime

This is very much a Utah thing. Specifically because of Mormons. Do you think every other state is like that?

Most gas stations definitely do not have syrup pumps.

Idk, I grew up in WA and saw them there, and I've seen them at gas stations along the way in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (we drive back once/year).

The smaller gas stations don't seem to have them, but the larger ones do, especially those "oasis" stations. And we tend to stop at larger gas stations, so maybe that colors my perspective here.
