April Foo… aw, shucks

Joe So I had this whole April Fool's post planned out, about how I'd gone to Ikea and found heir new line of Ikea Cola, where they sold the syrup and the carbonation in little packets and you assembled it at home. Yes, I know, hah very hah. Anyway, imagine my horror when, while perusing electric kettles at Åhlen's department store, Jennifer pointed out that they're selling home pop machines that let you do just that.

Better luck next year, I suppose.

  1. It's actually pretty easy to make rootbeer at home. We did it when I was a kid. There's a recipe here:

    You might consider the yeast and sugar to be your "instant" carbonation?
