POPS 66

A 66-foot neon-lit soda bottle looming over Route 66, fronting a diner stocked with 700+ rare and exotic glass-bottle sodas from around the world. More Warhol fever dream than rest stop.

The move: Each dare the other to pick the weirdest soda flavor (bacon, pickle, birch beer), eat at the diner overlooking the bottle, and stay until it lights up.

📍 Before you go It is a working gas station with a big lot that fits anything from motorcycles to RVs, a short drive northeast of OKC along old Route 66 — and the 66-foot bottle out front is LED-lit, so it only does its color show after dark; time your arrival for dusk. Inside, the cantilevered glass building (by OKC architect Rand Elliott) is shelved wall-to-wall with bottles arranged by color; you can build a custom six-pack, and they will pop the cap at the register if you are drinking it now. The Arcadia Round Barn sits barely half a mile west on the same stretch of 66 — the two are an obvious pairing.
