Pixar's Sodas Q&A—Ask Your Questions Now

Now that the world has experienced the magic of Pixar's Sodas, we are opening the floor for a Q&A about the lore of the Sodas universe and any other lingering questions that may persist after experiencing the film. Post your questions below and we'll answer in a forthcoming bonus episode.

Comments

Was it purposeful that the character diet mtn dew was basically just the actor Hasan Piker? Gym bro, horny in a very weird way, ect.

Zach Goldberg

Why doesn’t my wife like soda?

Dustin

What happens to limited edition sodas that are only on shelves for a month or two then go away? oh yeah and also, did the sodas support bud light when he got cancelled?

Keroko

Does Diet Coke enjoy the feeling of mentos or is it more like torture

Patreon subscriber

The scratchers cum when they get scratched, and soda want to be drank, what is it like for a cig to be smoked?

Nick Jones

I know I'd be better off as a utility soda. More useful too. Does the unlikely mixture of reincarnation and animism have to be true for me to fulfill my destiny? Tell me there's another way!

Orville Sashay

It would be the best character and completely eclipse all other characters. They should make a Polar film, it only after Sodas 2 and Scratchers come out. Build the cinematic universe some more

Lavinia Petrescu

How do you actually write the script when there's four credited writers - my best guess is that you all collectively break the plot and then one of you writes the proper script and it gets punched up?

Matthew Perpetua

I see my blunder not as folly but as a happy accident, because now I have another good reason, on top of many others, to revisit the film again. Good day!

Petergrifgin

Mr. Pibb was reformulated and rebranded to Pibb Xtra, who was in the film. Why waste a question if you’re not going to do your research like a real fan would?

Austin Bradley

Mr.Pibb was conspicuously absent from the film. Could you shed some light on any of the behind the scenes drama that led to the snub? Did Dr. Pepper's agents lay out any conditions on Pibb's involvement due to their ugly history, or was it more related to the unseemliness and slovenliness of his potassium benzoate preservatives as opposed to Pepper's sodium benzoate?

Petergrifgin

Will "All The Bubbles In the World" be released as a single? How involved was Nate Ruess in the creative process of the film? Did he cameo as a soda? I know I definitely heard him on that track, but I didn't catch him in the credits.

Petergrifgin

Did the guy who went crazy from bearing witness to the sodas become Chips, the New Tarzan?

Jash Bugner

M&MS AND SODAS SAME UNIVERSe?

shonenxgump

How will this movie be retitled for foreign localities? Soda isn't a popular term in eu/uk/ireland. Most people just say "getting a can of X" but "Cans" might lead everyone to think the films about alcoholic beverage. Perhaps an R rated cut of the film would be possible? Could use AI to replace soda brand logos with alcoholic logos. Something like how March of the Penguins outside of France was all Morgan Freeman'd, but in France the penguins had names and adorable french accents. edit: follow up question, similar to the first but more of a focus on China. How will Disney change the film for the locality? I think you could still keep in how much the sodas want to be drank, its a nice parallel of sacrificing yourself for the good of communism. But the sodas dying? And having souls? It might be a little too close to ghosts and maybe even gays.

ToddUmptious

What was it like working with the sodas?

plopadop

what was the inspiration for sodas? what event popped the tab in your brains to make this incredible idea fizz it’s way into the real world?

Ben

Further, what’s the artistic purpose for featuring Surge with this obvious ambiguity instead of Vault, which would have avoided this controversy?

Austin Bradley

During Surge’s death, it’s stated that Surge was discontinued in 2003. This ignores the revival in 2015, still available to this day. Is this an error or should the audience interpret this as a political statement against the re-release’s formulation?

Austin Bradley

Are 2 liters like mythical giants to the soda can community?

Andrea Dielman

A lot of soda humor is related to cans, are the bottled sodas a separate culture?

Pedder Chestnut

How do sodas treat other non-carbonated beverages? Would sodas be friends with Brisk iced tea or Snapple? Brisk is in the same fountain as Pepsi a lot of the time so does she act weird about the lack of bubbles?

Hernan Perez-Mckay

☝️

Orville Sashay

Does every soda get reincarnated as itself after it's been finished? Am I drinking the same Coke Zero over and over? Does it remember my face?

Joshua von Aulock

are there any sodas or other beverages you couldn’t secure the rights to that you wish could’ve been in the film?

Elaine Bennett

Coke Zero is absent from the movie because he is being "restocked", does this indicate that sodas have some sort of shared hive intelligence or are they reincarnated?

Aaron Christmas

what is dr pepper's doctorate in?

otterhouse-five

Was the decision to completely erase Mtn Dew Zero (superior to Diet Dew in every way) from the sodaverse: (a) done in anticipation of him being the star of Sodas 2, (b) dictated by PepsiCo, (c) knuckling under to the diva demands of Hasan, or (d) was it just an oafish goof by the writers?

Jake McIntyre

Once the Soda actors were done filming on set, what kind of lives did they go back to? Their hometown 7-11s in small towns across America?

Andrea Dielman

Is the Soda (subject/character) the vessel (can/bottle) or the soda (liquid)? Is it the can that talks/thinks or is it the soda fluid?

Andrea Dielman

Do international versions of US based sodas exist? Is chinese coke a chinese version of coke or is it just coke?

Kyle Berner

Will there be a sequel called beers?

Noah Jackson

As a human, was it hard to get into character as a soda, something you genuinely are not

Harvey Rayson

fuck marry kill: coke, diet coke, coke zero

flash forever

Are sodas healthy?

Robin

Who is the most evil soda in history?

LAKE R▲DIO

what’s you’re favorite soda

NYG

Are there multiple bottles of each soda in the fridge at the circle k? Is our protagonist Coke, for example, just one particular bottle of coke, with dozens of identical counterparts? Or is each soda as represented in the film more of a collective ontological representation of its brand in its entirety?

hailey

This is the biggie imo

Orville Sashay

Do the off brand sodas life in ghettos and do the name brand have racial bias's against them?

Marshall

if you pour a soda in a cup does the cup talk? do canadian sodas call themselves pops?

Blaine McLaughlin

During Surge's death scene, there was mention of a soda god as well as a regular human god. Does soda jesus also exist in this universe, and do sodas drink his soda like catholics drink Jesus's blood?

RandyAndy

Is there a particular reason you left Mt. Dew Zero out of this? I knew you people were fucking woke but this level of bias is really shocking

HenTropy

Did Soderbergh leave the project before completion or is this an Alan Smithee type situation?

Arne Krause

if a soda is taken and then later restocked, is it the same personality soda? or are like are all coke cans unique lil guys

Felicia Broadus

you ever find a soda in a convenience store that’s kinda sticky for some reason?

Guck Buck

So what's up with the sodas? Are they alive? Are they possessed by demons? Are they simply the equivalent of dogs?

Sam Colburn

I also wish La Croix had featured in the film…. Perhaps in Sodas 2

hailey

Any chance the Faygo’s will have their own “penguins of Madagascar” style spin off series?

Mike Machesky

I understand that in early preproduction Coke was more of an older George Clooney-type father character who had to learn to accept that his children had grown into adult sodas in their own right. Where did the idea to turn him into the young soda we know and love come from?

Lord Beerus

Will there be any Sodas attractions coming to Disney parks?

happy_doodles

Can you describe for us how life may differ for a soda in a vending machine than that of soda in a convenience store? Also, did Walt Tremblay audition for a part?

Burlack Sapp

Is Jenny kominsky a real person?

Matthew O'Reilly

People will focus on Hassan and Felix’s performances, as they are podcast titans and multimillionaires. But I’d like to know how you connected with Branson Reese, the most talented voice actor and improviser in a generation. What was his fee and will he get resids.

NoPasaran

Is it true that the film won’t be aired in Turkey after the AKP demanded Uludağ Gazoz be included as a pious Anatolian character?

KS

What were the requirements in Hasan's rider, did he ask for any interesting snacks?

Aaron Christmas

How did Tom prepare for his role as Jose Cuervo?

Rene Bork

Why wasn't A&W zero sugar, the world's best soda, included in this film?

chubbs941

i've always wondered how you guys go about writing these longer form prewritten eps. do you like pick a day and get together and force yourselves to be creative somehow (beer)? or is it more like you just add stuff to a doc as it occurs to you? and hey congrats again on 300 eps boys

Normalman Regularguy

Is Coca Cola catholic

artybeegee

Michael was great as Vernors, really did the role a justice. Can we expect to see him in future episodes ??

Sean

Would you say that Naperville was it’s own character in this movie? Was any of the movie filmed on location? If so, any fun memories?

LAKE R▲DIO

is there a Caleb x NBA stupidA$$ collaboration in the works, or is the world just not ready for a bald rapper?

ggmacd

(Imagine I’m being handed the mic at a comicon panel and my hands and voice are shaking badly while I ask this)

peter

Nearly everyone in my theater clapped when Rinky and Kremit were mentioned. Any chance they will make an appearance in the sequel?

peter

Has anyone mentioned the absence of Orangina from the cast?

Cupine2003

As a Texan, I find it offensive that Big Red was portrayed as "the Texas soda" when Dr. Pepper is our states pride and joy. Do you have any plans to address this plot hole in Sodas 2? Also I'm stuck on the second level of the Sodas tie-in Nintendo DS exclusive game, can you guys give some advice on how to beat it?

Benjamin Roberts

What’s the sodas bodycount

Mortiis

What was it like directing so many big personalities?

Brochoose

Did Funimation outright block the rumored Goku Seltzer cameo? Director's cut? Does Akira Toriyama actually hate soda?

breadbarn

Is the Sodas franchise officially part of the Terra Haute/Three Pumpkins universe

doohoohoo

what’s the deal with store brand soda?

Guck Buck

I heard there was some behind the scenes drama. is everyone still friends?

Reverend Carter

come on, I don’t want to see CSP News URL in here, I need work life balance

Matthew O'Reilly

Are there any plans for Pepsi to pose in playboy?

Dirkdammit

How long did it take you to make this fucking thing?

Des Conrads

Episode 1 got their first film in the can. Should be proud.

RG13

My girlfriend wants to know if you had Nate sing horribly on purpose

Chad Allen

What went through your head when you saw Disney and Pixar approved releasing a film targeted to a family audience yet had multiple F words?

Austin Evans

Why should any of us care about sodas at all hmmmm?

C M

How does it feel to be a grifter psyop funded by big fizz?

Jesse DeStasio

Considering other soda adjacent beverages, such as monster and rockstar, have personalities, what sort of personalities would you imagine for Arizona iced tea half and half/Arnold Palmer or any other members of the Arizona line of products?

genieous

This is a question for Scratchers. On most scratchers you can just uncover the area with the barcode and scan it to see if that's a winner. Would that be like a ruined orgasm for a scratcher and do any scratchers have a kink for that?

Ontario Guy

Is there discrimination in the soda world? Perhaps by color, caffeine content, or corporate overlord. I imagine a Pixar film smooths off the rough edges of society to tell its tale.

Matthew O'Reilly

Are sodas really just like us?

TLT

Dan was amazing in his role as the European psychiatrist treating Ricky, but did that role take too much out of him? We haven't heard from him in forever on Fortune Kit/The Bottlemen and I miss his presence on Twitter

Minnesota_Cold

have you gotten a cease and desist yet?

bananeurysm

Andrew tweeted on 6/23/23 about episode 300 being "Meals" where you play Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Can we still expect Meals? Will there be a Pixar's Meals?

purephaedra

Are sodas religious and who is their god

John Paul Morgan

After Pepsi became the first Soda to become a celebrity and POP sensation that humans and beverages alike look up to, who have the other high profile soda been? Any elected officials? Also the episode rocked and it was genuinely one of the things I looked forward to the most this week, thanks!

Libeccio

Will there be a commentary track for Sodas?

Cupine2003

Two more related ones: In June it was announced that Circle K was opening up more Chicago stores (https://www.cspdailynews.com/company-news/circle-k-opening-more-urban-stores-chicago). There's been a lot of speculation that this is simply cashing in on Sodas' popularity, but there's also rumors that this is in preparation for a Babe: Pig in the City style sequel. Can you confirm or deny? Naperville has been buzzing with fans trying to get a picture with the Sodas cooler and even the Circle K sign. It's obvious that the film didn't take place at the Fox Valley Mall Circle K, but there's heated debate happening about whether the Circle K in Sodas is the one on Route 59 (in my opinion context clues make this painfully obvious) or Washington Street. Can you guys settle this once and for all?

Mike

will there be a Beers spinoff?

brebbory

What happened to Diet Dew's crush after she threw him? was she traumatized like the alcoholic janitor?

Noah Feingold

Did all the sodas do their own stunts?? How soon will this be out on bluray/ red box?

No1BASICCHANNELFAN

By now we've all heard lots (both rumors and confirmed) about the drama and dysfunction that's taken place since filming started. I don't mean to discredit any grievances, but could fans get a couple of uplifting anecdotes from set?

Mike

Are Lacroix too snooty to be seen with the common man's soda?

Corey Flynn

in world war infinity there was a mention of a soda spilling itself, but that scene wasn't in the film. cut by ratings board? also will raina win an egot for this? (yes)

evilgirlsinyourarea

Is a suicide considered like a genetic abomination or is it a soda with multiple personalities or is it just like a normal soda of indeterminate flavor?

Tim Jones

What’s a soda?

ghostcoaster

Any truth to the rumors circulating about the Disney+ extended universe series?

A.W.

After Sprite Zero was bought by Hasan, how did he end up at the party? Was Hasan at the party too?

CoolDogsOnly

what does a traditional store bought soda think of sodastream soda?

Jake S.

is the coca-cola freestyle machine seen as a taboo, an abomination, or the soda singularity?

Ben Rose

Is there any social stigma associated with hard seltzers? As they don’t fit in with either of the larger camps of beer or soda.

Turdhurricane

In coming up with the backstory for Sprite Zero, how much studying did you do on the history of lean and its effects? If you could cast someone as codeine, who would it be?

Matt James Rich

Point of lore: When a soda sees itself reflected in the denuded aluminum of the Other, does it see itself clearly or darkly?

Leon

Why is Mt. Dew portrayed as a shut in soda in the movie when it’s usually advertised as a utility soda?

Ben

What would a Polar be like in the sodaverse

Aidan Scuderi

Was Fanta excluded from Sodas for their Nazi sympathies?

Corman’s Inferno

Has there ever been a soda war? Do the sodas possess nuclear bombs? Was there a soda Oppenheimer? Which soda makes the prettiest girl?

Miquella on HRT

What kind of hate crime did the pendejo time guys commit to not get casted
