More and more ‘Mormon soda’ shops are bringing flavorful carbonated concoctions — and fun — to eastern Idaho

Idaho Falls, Idaho • Nearly 50 bottles of flavoring line the walls of Lael Andersen’s 10-foot by 20-foot shack on Northgate Mile, featuring common choices such as raspberry and cherry, to more off-the-wall additives such as cupcake.

These flavors help make carbonated concoctions that in the past few years have taken eastern Idaho by storm.

“Everybody loves soda, and everyone that drinks these flavored sodas now say to me ‘I can’t drink a Dr. Pepper without all of the flavoring.‘” Andersen said. “Everyone wants their sugar fix.”

Andersen opened Drink N Dash last July with the intent of starting a fun new business.
