Yeah, so I was watching the episode when Sokka drank the cactus juice, and this idea kind of hit me (much like butterflys do when I run in tennis).

"Welcome to the Prickly Pear Plucking Place!" Sokka guffawed as his sister walked in. The red circles under his eyes told Katara all she deeded to know.
"Sokka… have you been drinking your 'cactus juice' again?"
"Ce ce! It tuinches your quirst!" He giggled, drinking lopsidedly out of a cactus cup. He smacked his lips and smirked. Katara picked up a cup and eyed the sloshing drink suspiciously.
"What the heck is in this stuff, anyway?" she asked. Sokka gave a shrug.
"I have no idea, but the people seem to love it!"
"You give this stuff to the public?" she asked, incredulously. He thrust a hand towards the small group of people doing the worm on the ground and groups of people giggling behind their hands.
"Oh g- Zuko and Iroh?" she said as she saw the two giggling at the table.
"Ooh-hoo… this stuff is better than tea… is it not dear father?" Iroh asked.
"Oh, yes indeed, fishy-fishy!" Zuko giggled like a three-year-old.
"Why did you give them this stuff?" Katara asked her brother, who was absently cleaning out his ear with his pinky.
"Because… they're my Water Nation buddies!" he said stupidly. Katara groaned loudly and began to bang her head on the wall.
"Heey…" Sokka started, "don't break my wall! It's my wall!" Katara gave on last bang and put a hole in it. Sokka burst into fountain tears.
"Yooouuu brooooke myyyy waaaaall!" he whined. Sokka dropped to the floor and curled into the fetal position. Katara jumped over the counter and saw her brother dunk his thumb into a cup and suck his thumb. Katara reached down and dragged him up by the ear. She opened her mouth to speak, but was disgusted as her braid fell into a cup. She dropped Sokka and turned around. Lets just say I feel sorry for the cup. Just as she was turning around, she felt something and a vein began to pulse.
"Sokka? Why… pray tell… are you sucking on my braid?" she asked like the calm before the storm. She glanced over her shoulder to see Sokka sucking on her brown braid like a lollipop.
"Mmmf sch-" Katara whipped her hair out of his mouth. He began to whine and when Katara had heard enough, she slapped him.
"Straighten up and speak like a man!" she shrieked.
"Your braid landed in a cup of juice!" he squeaked. Katara groaned, jumped over the counter, and plopped down in a stool. She sat that way for awhile before the doors flew open and in came Aang.
"Hiya!" he shouted as he sat next to Katara. Sokka poked his head above the counter just so that his eyes were showing and he looked like James Bond cosplaying as Billy Ray Cyrus.
"Psst… hey Airbender. Do you want some Cactus Juice?" Billy Ray Bond asked in a conspiratory whisper.
"Sure!" Aang answered enthusiastically. The first try at this wasn't so great. He threw it down the counter, it tripped over something, and spilled it's contents all over the Airbender.
"Gaa!" Aang groaned and summoned up a huge gust of wind to dry himself off. Sokka tried again and this time, Aang got the cup.
"So what is this stuff?" he asked as he stuck his tongue in it like a cat.
"I mow-" he started, then took his tongue out of it, "I know what this is!" Katara straightened up.
"What? Tell me! Tell me… NOW!" she shouted crazily, almost choking him as she grabbed Aang's shirt.
"It's Mountain Dew!" Katara stopped and stared at him.
"That's… it?"
"No, there's cabbage in it, too!" Everyone in ear shot spit out their drink.
"Cabbages! I have lovely cabbages!" The cabbage cart man yelled from outside.
"Is he in every town?"
