Eating is necessary for human survival, along with breathing, sleeping, and remaining still while a curious velociraptor rummages through your closet. Practice survival tactics with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of eclectic fare and drinks at Soda Jerks Restaurant.

Alongside a menu of classic diner fare that includes burgers and chicken wraps, Soda Jerks invites diners to take control of their culinary destiny with customizable meat, poultry, and vegetarian burgers. Two eggs over easy, crispy bacon, hash browns, and either rye or sourdough toast ($9.04) finally feel the magic of twilight when served for dinner, and creamy ranch dressing accents a southwest chicken wrap, like an easier-to-digest prairie schooner ($13.72). Mouths break from chewing to discover the flavours of more than 30 types of bottled soda ($3.16 each), 15 different flavours of milkshakes ($3.52–$4.98) and cocktails concocted with whimsical vodka flavours such as cotton candy, whipped cream, and winning lottery ticket. Booths, wood-panelled walls, and a kids' menu makes Soda Jerks an ideal option for families.
