“Why do people like soda?”/“Because it’s sodalicious.” (soda + delicious)

“Sodalicious” (soda + delicious, like “so delicious”) has been used in many soda advertisements and has also been trademarked several times. The first citation was in 1877:
 
“There are beautiful warm soda springs in Colorado, and people who go bathing in them at once exclaim: ‘Oh, but this is soda-licious!’”
 
“Why do people like to drink soda? . . . because it’s Sodalicious HAHAHAHAHAHA” was cited on Twitter on January 21, 2015.
