I waited in line for forty-five min for a soda this week. I know, saying that makes me sound crazy, and I’ll admit, my annoyance and impatience got the best of me when I first pulled in. 

I may have uttered words like- 

“Stupid Edmond drivers!” 

“Look at these idiots!” 

“This place is mismanaged!” 

“These suburban families and their trendy soda!”

Yeah- I know. I got issues! 

Yet, here I was doing the same thing I was complaining about. Eventually, I settled in and enjoyed waiting with the family for a soda. We joked about how long it was taking and even started timing how long it took a car to get through the window once they pulled forward. It was good fun and gave the kiddos something to focus on and joke about with us.

Swig is just a drive-through soda shop. Like a Starbucks or Dutch Brothers, but with Soda. There isn’t anything spectacular about the soda. I could go down to Sonic and get them to fix the same drink, which would taste about the same. But something is fascinating about trying something new and different. Maybe it’s FOMO. I’m not sure, and I wish I could say. 

The kids enjoy it, and it’s something to do on a Sunday afternoon when we’re all bored and resting up to prepare for the next week ahead. 

I like to get in, out, and back home. I tend to get anxious and overwhelmed and often need to remember to stop and enjoy the moment. I hate waiting. And I often find myself cursing under my breath at the driver in front of me who doesn’t already know their order when they pull up to a drive-thru speaker.

What can I say? Again, I got issues!

I waited in line for forty-five min for a soda yesterday. I got the Buttery Beer! It was a large Root Beer with Butterscotch and Vanilla Crème! And it was awesome!
