King of SODA Pop! - Galco’s Soda Pop Stop

[@cambee3070]

Shout out to the man the myth and the legend himself! I had the honor of meeting him and I’m a soda snob so this place is heaven for me

[@Advenchas]

AKIL THE MC IS TUPAC talk about heaven!! His store is really a soda connoisseur’s dream. Thanks for watching!

[@AmethystEyes]

I hope his business is going well! His dedication and just overall personality is so wonderful!

[@Advenchas]

We hope so as well! Can’t wait to go back soon. We appreciate you watching!

[@djpat5998]

That seems like a great place for grandparents to take their grand kids and let them taste what they use to have.

[@Advenchas]

This is the best idea I’ve heard! John has lots of art and photos on the walls too. Take your camera and make your own memories! ❤️ Thank you for watching.

[@kensims4086]

Drinking a frostie as i watch this in kentucky. I wanna go there so bad. Every city needs a store like this!

[@Advenchas]

ken sims we agree!! It’s waiting for you next time you visit CA! Thanks for watching.

[@bubbagump2704]

One of the best places ever with one of the best guys ever!! WONDERFUL to see this!!

[@Advenchas]

Bubba Gump he truly is! Recently, we’ve had so many people share their stories about their first visit to the store. They’ve all included their awesome encounters with John! ❤️

[@bubbagump2704]

@@Advenchas Yes, John's warmth and enthusiasm are contagious and evident in everything he does. He makes the world a better place by leaving that with all who meet him. You may already have seen it, but I thought i'd tell you in case not - Huell Howser did a whole show with John, in I believe 2000, and then again in 2010, and that's special to see because John's got his whole family with him, his parents in the first show and his grandsons in the second. It was great Huell got there to do another one because shortly afterward he sadly passed. But they were two peas in a pod, so it's fun to see them together! The whole thing is on youtube! Also while I'm here let me pass on something important - check out Share the Meal, an app where 50 cents feeds a hungry child for the day! Very deeply needed - please pass it on! All the best!

[@Advenchas]

Bubba Gump thanks for the info! Towards the end of the video we ask John about Huell. He shares a lovey memory about his mother 😊

[@bubbagump2704]

@@Advenchas Great! Yeah, I didn't see the whole thing yet, I will finish it now. I marked it last night, and was looking it up because I was having a soda and it occured to me that he's turning 80 this year! An article I have from 2009 states him as being 69 then. So thanks for posting this!

[@ChrisLerouxDesign]

Galco's is a lot of fun. I'm from Montreal and in March last year I happened to have an event I was attending in LA. I was with my friends and had a few hours to kill and kept saying, "We've got to go to Galco's! If there's one thing I do in this city, it's going to Galco's!" So we drove down and spent about an hour touring the place. Unfortunately John didn't seem to be having the best of days, he wasn't very talkative, but it was still a great joy to meet the legend himself. Honestly I could have bought half the store. The only thing that stopped me was that I was getting on a plane the next day and didn't want glass to shatter in my luggage. Did manage to get my mom some rose and cucumber sodas, and for myself I had a nice variety of butterscotch ones. In a way I'm glad I live so far away, because I'm on Keto and if I was a local I'd be sipping on several sodas a day.

[@Advenchas]

Acromat /ak-roh-mat/ Thanks for the comment! You are totally correct when you say that one could buy half the store. I had to restrain myself. But you know, it just gives me more incentive to visit again. Thanks for watching!

[@justfamfam]

I watched both episodes with Huell Howser and it was great to hear John talk about the episodes. Huell is a legend and thanks for making this video.

[@Advenchas]

Hi Gentrie. Huell IS a legend and will always be missed! Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching ❤️

[@miaoupha2370]

This store is Amazing, so many good stuff... If you drink soda it will change your life!

[@Advenchas]

Miaou Pha right?! So good. Tons of stuff with cane sugar too!

[@exhibit6802]

The guy with the Abba Zaba made me feel happy. This store seems to attract good people.

[@Advenchas]

He had a positive vibe for sure! If you go in with a bad attitude you’ll come out all smile 😃

[@ymarsolamo5745]

brings back memories of taking my niece and nephew to the galco summer soda tasting years ago. they both won the belching contest. good content!

[@Advenchas]

Good times huh?! Belching contest! Sounds like fun 😆

[@MountainFisher]

I watched that Visiting with Huell Howser and his second episode as well. I remember Huell from Palm Springs where he was a friend of my brother who did metal work for Huell's homes, first in Palm Springs and then the Domed home in Newberry Springs. I was saddened by his death. Huell wasn't a phony, he was genuinely interested in other people and what they did unless they were hateful, he didn't like that, but who does?

[@Advenchas]

Huell will always be alive with us. Those episodes will live on forever ❤️

[@jasonrupplearningtowalkand2839]

I love Kvas!!!!

[@Advenchas]

I’ve never tried it. Will have to go back! So many people on TikTok recommend it

[@RobertYglesias-xb8ob]

My favorite was the Root beer float soda

[@Advenchas]

Did you make it with one of those sodas? Sounds delicious.

[@RobertYglesias-xb8ob]

@@Advenchas I found many years ago at a 99 Cents only store Root beer float soda

[@darkspinegaming8213]

I seem to remember a cola brand that i picked up in a beverage store in bklyn ny if im not mistaken it was in the early 80's it was in a glass 3 liter bottle and its name was POP my question do you carry this product and if not have you heard about it !!!

[@Advenchas]
