Dirty soda shops have popped up in seven counties across New Jersey. “The dirty soda trend is more than just a passing fad; it's a reflection of the evolving preferences of today's consumers,” said an article from The Food Institute, per The Montclair Girl.com. “As the market for non-alcoholic beverages continues to grow, dirty sodas are poised to become a staple in the beverage industry.” The Drink Spot in Belford claims the title of New Jersey's first dedicated dirty soda shop. The business started with gourmet popcorn but has grown its dirty soda menu.
