National Soda & Soft Drinks

Located at number 95 in Pulikkal, we’ve been running National Soda & Soft Drinks for a while now. It’s a simple setup. Most days start early before the sun gets too hot because moving heavy glass bottles is hard work. The floor is usually wet from the washing and filling. We don’t have fancy offices or anything like that. It’s just a workspace where we make sure the gas is right in the drinks. People from around Pulikkal stop by, and we know most of the faces. Sometimes the machine acts up, and we spend the afternoon fixing a valve or checking the pressure. It’s noisy when the line is running. You get used to the clinking sound of bottles hitting each other. We keep our crates stacked near the door for the morning deliveries. It isn't a huge operation, just a local spot that fills orders and keeps things moving. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but the drinks come out cold and fizzy, which is what matters at the end of the day. There’s no big strategy here, we just open up, do the work, and close when the crates are empty. It’s been this way for years. We keep the ledger on a small desk near the back. If you come by, you'll probably see us unloading a truck or checking the seals on the caps. It's a lot of sweat but it pays the bills.
