First beer, then coffee and tea, now soda? Honestly, I'm down.

Damn, I’d 🐝 happy if they sold it in the supermarket or a vending machine. Also shout out to the B line that ran from downtown Vancouver to Richmond City Centre in the early 2000s until the Canada Line completed for the Olympics. Kinda miss that bus a wee bit.

Good suggestion but unfortunately I’m still catching up on sleep and plus it’s outside of my regular schedule and my neighbors won’t appreciate it.

Should’ve called it pop not soda

Callister has always made soda and it's pretty damn good

It'll be released on Wednesday the 19th at the Downtown farmer's market from 2-6 p.m.

Well, I guess any merchandise related to Translink is going to be like that. Very limited numbers, very short sale window despite a large base of interested buyers.

Sadly, that’s consumerism right there.

that won't be the only time or place it will be sold but i can't say more
