Gettin' your fix at Pops 66.


  Gettin' your fix at Pops 66.  Pops 66 Arcadia OK


As you tool along Route 66 towards Arcadia, OK you come across a giant modern structure jutting out from the surrounding slightly hilly plains.  It almost seems monument like with its cantilievered angular roofline and of course the signature 66 foot tall "bottle" out front.  A monument to cola....


The bottle is a towering representation of a soda bottle that glows in a variety of neon colors at night.  This makes night time our favorite time to stop.



The exterior "walls" of glass (set at an angle) provide perfect shelves to line with colorful varieties of pop, soda, cola.. or coke


Inside there are 600+ varieties of cokes, colas, root beers, cream sodas, orange pop, purple stuff and more.
They also have a soda fountain and old style diner food served up daily at the counter.  We've never sampled but hear the milk shakes are the bomb.


If you ever find yourself skating through the Oklahoma City area detour a little off on old Route 66 stop in. One word of caution though.. the speed drops right around Pops/Arcadia and Johnny Law is happy to add a little tax to your cola purchase.  Where we grew up it's Coke..  "Want a Coke? Sure.  What kind?"  Around these parts I suppose they call it Pop... whatever you call it.. its worth the stop.
