Down and Dirty

 Every generation thinks they are innovative and come up with new and unusual ideas, when most of their discoveries have been around long enough to go out of style a couple of times if not more. What is nowadays called a Dirty Soda has been around since the 9th century when Arabs started mixing sherbet with fruit juices and ice, which they later introduced to Italy when they ruled Sicily. Then of course there was the Pepsi and milk from the Laverne & Shirley TV show. Today they are calling the same concoction a Dirty Soda which only has slight variations of the 9th century version. A Dirty Soda is nothing more than a soda of your choice with cream or flavored coffee creamer and a fruit flavor if desired. As you can see very few things are actually "new", only reintroduced with an alias.
