### Supplemental

Light-hearted, friendly and positively upbeat...are not the kind of words anyone would use to describe Sparkles. A soda whose fizz ran out long ago, Sparkles walks on the dry side with a hilariously acidic aftertaste. What she lacks in sweetness she more than makes up for in savvy sarcasm and biting retort.

**Sparkles**

**Voiced By:** Cassandra Lee Morris

The sole girl of the main Shopkins. Sparkles is a soda can who ran out of sweetness a long time ago. Replaced with sourness and biting retorts, she is sarcastic and dry in her personality. Despite her demeanor, she's still friendly with the others, and is willing to go on their adventures.

* **Adaptation Name Change:** From “Soda Pops” in the toyline.
* **Berserk Button:** Does not take kindly to her fizz being mocked.
* **The Lancer:** She’s sarcastic, but she’s also the grounding point to some of Pizza Face’s over-the-top ideas.
* **Little Miss Snarker:** Her sweetness ran out a long time ago, and was replaced with acidic biting retorts.
* **The Smurfette Principle:** She is the only major female Shopkin in the webseries, the only exception being a quick cameo from Lady Cheese and various background girls.
* **True Blue Femininity:** She is light blue, and the only girl of the main Shopkins in the webseries. Despite this, she's still fairly rough-and-tumble and sarcastic, while also caring for Egghead the most out of the others.

## Trivia

* Soda Pops is similar to Sticky Soda, a Series 1 Grossery.
* In the Shopkins Gang web series, she is given the name Sparkles. She is voiced by Cassandra Lee Morris.
* It was revealed in Mount Beanpole (Part 3), that when she gets angry, her fizz grows stronger, to the point that she can rocket off thanks to it.
* The Toy Fair poster of her colored her as dark green, a color that none of her figures were released in. This color was used for her prototype cartoon design as well, possibly hinting that this was the color she was meant to be as a figure. This same static art of her is still used in the standee models at Toys R Us to promote the franchise.
* An image from the Canadian Shopkins Gang webite portrays her static art red, just like one of her variants.
* Buzzed Energy Drink, a Series 2 Scummy Sodas member, heavily resembles her.
* Her preliminary static art had her eyes crossed in different directions than they are now.
* She is depicted with white teeth in her static art, while her figure depicts her with yellowed teeth.
* In the webseries, she did not debut along with the other Series 1 characters, instead first appearing in Mount Beanpole (Part 2).
* In The Shopkins Game, she retains her eyelashes for her collectable model.
* A parody of her, along with Bethany Broccoli and Scrubs, appears on a 2017 Wacky Packages sticker. Her parody is colored red, similar to one of her variants. She also has arms, similar to the webseries.
* The Series 1 Regular Pack is named after her.
* Both she and Pretz-elle have collector cards that reference Elvis Presley.
* Without her teeth gritted, she has a pair of pressed-together buck teeth. This is most noticable in the webseries.
