Reminder: We'll be closed Monday October 12th (but you can still place orders through our website). Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

Someone in the C-suite isn't doing their job. When 'repairs' go on for years with no progress, that's usually the answer.

Really. I wouldn't say they're good, but they're inoffensive. I kind of wish they went all in and made it more mac and cheesy.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 10:12 PM

I know where to get more.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 10:05 PM

It really does. You're going to have to report back to us about how it goes. For science.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 10:02 PM

Hm, I think you'd mostly get the undertones of the cream soda. There's also no sodium mentioned on the label, so you'd probably still want to salt your KD soda when making the pasta.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 9:44 PM

I would never say no to that.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 9:14 PM

Sadly, no. She was the very first of us to try it, so we didn't know to expect the nature of her response. Her response, which was loud and included expletives, did encourage two customers to try it though. Tom and Daniel did try it, they both survived. Kristen did record that!

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 9:09 PM

Oh, no. They were vile. You should've seen (or heard) Kristen's reaction. We sadly couldn't convince Michelle to try one. I don't think any of us actually ate an entire cookie.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 9:05 PM

This is just the wild excitement we have at the store. Books and questionable foods/drinks. Cocktails would probably be better.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 9:04 PM

The mushroom Oreos were a couple of weeks ago. Those got some excellent reactions, we had a few customers brave enough to try them.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 9:03 PM

Would it help if I say that it's dairy free? So totally safe to drink.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 9:02 PM

Pureed mac and cheese + soda stream? That could be an interesting one. I don't know if I have people I dislike quite enough to give them that.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 9:01 PM

The smell is more intense than the flavour, which is quite mild. The hint of savoury/mayyybeeee cheesiness? But really isn't cheesy enough for the KD label is the forward flavour, but then it very rapidly just tastes like cream soda as the aftertaste.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 8:57 PM

I don't think you could pay me to try the Dill Pickle one. This one is at least a very mild flavour. I almost wish they leaned more into it and had some intensity and depth to the flavour.

For the record, this isn't a sponsored post. I'm just half hoping that by posting this, people start bringing us weird snacks for me to inflict on all the staff here.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 8:50 PM

Surprise visit from @kchew.bsky.social today.

We've been on a roll having weird snacks at the store lately... (We don't recommend the matsutake mushroom Oreos). So, she brought this latest offering.

Surprisingly, not bad? Needs more cheese.

Two tins of KD x Dolly's cream soda on a counter in front of book shelves.
@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 2:31 PM

Oh, I'm aware. I will be buying these when I see them.

@bakkaphoenix.bsky.socialSep 25, 2026, 8:22 PM

And the awesome folks @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social are running Little Ghost Fest at the Tranzac Club!
