==Summary==
Soda Popinski is a recurring character in the Punch-Out!! series. When he debuted in the Arcade version of Super Punch-Out!!, he was known as Vodka Drunkenski, a reference to the stereotype of Russians being heavy drinkers and particularly loving vodka. In later appearances, he was renamed to Soda Popinski and, as such, drinks soda instead of alcoholic beverages, though he still makes drunken references.
As his name suggests, Soda Popinski loves to drink soda, and can down entire bottles of it before, during, and after a match. In Title Defense, scientists created a specially-formulated soft drink-like elixir to make him stronger.
