unpack and execute? not much more to it i think. 

you better have a soda ready or else i WILL find you.

water is okay. it'll water down the experience, though.

any other soft drink is also perfectly acceptable.

i feel like this is more of a soft drinks game than it is a soda game, but soda is more household than just the concept of soft drinks. i dunno. you tell me.
