A quick trip to South Dakota provided everything I could want in a Wild Wild West-themed adventure and then some. I took home a rock from Crazy Horse Memorial, roamed with the buffalo at Custer State Park, posed with the presidential statues in Rapid City, hiked the Badlands, and picked George Washington’s nose from afar at Mount Rushmore. But shockingly enough, one of the most impactful (and random) takeaways from my visit was a reinterpretation of Italian cream soda concocted by Katlyn Svendsen, who works with the state’s tourism department, who invited journalists like me to experience everything the Midwest destination has to offer.
Within hours of arrival, our group was fascinated to find the inventor herself taking a can of flavored sparkling water, chugging a few sips, and then topping it off with her favorite brand of almond milk creamer. That’s it…painfully and almost comically simple, yet so smart.
