Dirty soda, a trendy concoction that blends soda water with flavored syrups and other enhancements, has gained popularity not only for its unique taste but also for its potential to be a surprisingly healthy option for those on a weight loss journey.
While traditional soda is often laden with sugar and empty calories, dirty soda offers a customizable alternative that allows individuals to control their sugar intake and make healthier choices.
TikTok creator Tonya (takingmylifebackat42), who has over 1.3M followers on TikTok and has lost over 230 pounds, recently shared her dirty soda drink she orders at Sonic. Her drink went so viral that Sonic reached out to her, expressing interest in featuring her creation on their menu and enlisting her for promotional ads. Read on to find out her exact order below!

she states that “this one is my absolute favorite one yet. You’re going to get a large coke zero, you can also do this with Dr. Pepper, I just prefer the Coke Zero. Then, add fresh lime juice, diet cherry (but the diet cherry is sugar-free), and then one pump of vanilla. For the cream, this is actually their ice cream, they’re going to give you 2 ounces if you just say cream so get 1 ounce in an itty bitty cup because this is what has all the carbs, calories, and sugar.”
“And, if you’re like me and on a weight loss journey, you do not want all your drinks to have carbs and sugar,” she says. She takes the little ounce of vanilla ice cream base and pours it into her drink and mixes it together. That’s all it takes!
By opting for sugar-free or low-calorie bases and incorporating diet options, dirty soda becomes a refreshing beverage choice without derailing weight loss efforts. With moderation and mindful ingredient selection, dirty soda can provide a guilt-free treat, adding variety to a balanced diet while supporting weight loss goals.
