== Strategy ==
* It is recommended to use Soda Pop when in need of decent DPS and Splash damage without taking up two different tower slots.
**Branch is likely a better alternative, though.
* Due to how expensive Soda Pop is, it is recommended to use Discount Dog to decrease his upgrade costs.
** Because of this, it is not recommended to use Soda Pop for early game.
* Thanks to the smaller Footprint, Soda Pop is a great option on maps that do not have much space, such as Timeless Tower, Sneaky Swamp and Aftermath.
* Because of its hidden detection at level 1, you can place soda pops early waves to defeat hidden enemies.
