About dirty soda

Dirty soda is a fountain soda, most famously Dr Pepper, with flavored syrup, fresh lime and often a splash of cream, a drink from Utah’s soda shops. It is almost entirely sugar from the soda and the syrup. Ice takes up room in the cup, so these figures count soda by USDA’s with-ice weight. Built from its parts: the soda (USDA), Torani coconut syrup (label) at the ½ oz-per-12 oz ratio of a published home version, and half-and-half (USDA) for the creamy one.

In PlateDiary

A rough number for the dishes you save — only if you want one.

Off unless you turn them on

Calories in PlateDiary are off unless you turn them on. Switch them on and, when PlateDiary AI reads your photo of the table, each dish gets one rough “~” number. Accept it or change it; a number you correct is remembered for that dish. With Calories off, the app looks exactly as it did before.

A read sends small pictures of the cut-out dishes, with the place's name as a hint — never the table photo, faces or your location. Calorie numbers never go to analytics, and nothing is written to a health app. PlateDiary AI starts with free tries; here is how it works.
