Pop Quiz
Today’s panel brings us into a supermarket where a father and son have spotted a deal that is almost too good to pass up. The sign reads “JUMBLE SODA 5 FOR $5”, and dad wastes no time letting his son know he has the exact amount. The kid jumps right in and begins loading up without a second thought. With five bucks for five bottles, the total cost of the haul leaves nothing to the imagination.

Jumble Jeff’s Jems
Fizzness Is Booming
Jumble Soda uses the classic circle letter design that matches the way the puzzle fills in. Right behind it sits another brand called “Koca Cola” spelled with a K. Behind the cola you can make out what looks like bags of chips on display.
Final Solve
The final answer was an eleven letter anagram that would solve into a layout of 1 + 6 + 1 + 3. When I first read the caption, I figured it was setting up A BUCK A POP, but the letter count shut that down right away. Looking at the full layout made the real answer fall into place without any trouble. Sweet success!

Click-to-Reveal Facts About Soda

➤ Where does the word “soda” come from?
The word “soda” comes from sodium, the mineral salts in natural sparkling waters. Early fizzy drinks often used soda salts and that is where the name began.

➤ What is the oldest trick in the soda book?
Carbonated water was first created in 1767 by a chemist and that invention kicked off the soda industry long before bottles or brand names existed.
SOURCE
➤ Did sodas start out as medicine?
Early soda fountains sold bubbly drinks as cures for indigestion, fatigue, and other common complaints. Soda began as tonic water before it became everyday refreshment.
SOURCE
➤ Which soda brand is everywhere on Earth?
Coca Cola is considered the most widely distributed product in the world. Some estimates say that if every bottle ever made were lined up, the stack would reach the moon and back thousands of times.

Yes. Regular soda can remove rust, loosen old bolts, help clean stains, and even break down hard water buildup. Fizzy and functional.
