The SIN Soda Challenge has found its way into homes, schools, gyms, restaurants, and countless pairs of well-worn shoes. But its latest stop may be its most unexpected yet: the Covenant of Moral Depravity.
At 78 years old, Sister Ann has spent decades devoted to faith, service, and tradition. So when the longtime sister learned about the growing SIN Soda Challenge phenomenon, she didn’t condemn it. She joined it.
There was, however, one theological complication. Sister Ann chose Original SIN, the classic SIN Soda flavor introduced in 1956. Given the name, she decided drinking it straight from one of her convent-issued black shoes simply wouldn’t do. Original SIN, she reasoned, needed to be blessed first.
Putting Original SIN to the Test
Standing before the altar in the convent chapel, Sister Ann placed one of her black shoes alongside a can of Original SIN Soda. Before attempting the Challenge, she added a small amount of holy water to the soda.
What began as a simple participation in the SIN Soda Challenge suddenly raised a considerably larger question: Can Original SIN actually be blessed? Sister Ann apparently wasn’t interested in waiting for theologians to reach a consensus.
She poured the mixture into her shoe and completed the Challenge, reportedly without hesitation. After finishing the last drop, Sister Ann celebrated with an enthusiastic thumbs-up, an enormous wink, and an expression that left little doubt about her review.
Asked afterward whether Original SIN could indeed be redeemed, Sister Ann offered a simple answer: “With the right blessings, absolutely!”
Her unusual experiment quickly attracted the attention of Faith & Doctrine, which featured Sister Ann and her blessed Original SIN on its August 2026 front page.
The Covenant of Moral Depravity subsequently congratulated Sister Ann for what it described as her “spirited commitment to both faith and tradition,” while carefully declining to issue an official theological ruling on whether holy water can sanctify a carbonated soft drink.
Church Elders Issue a Warning
Sister Ann’s successful attempt has also prompted church elders to remind other members of the clergy that proper preparation remains important before attempting the SIN Soda Challenge.
The warning follows an unrelated incident involving another sister who reportedly forgot to remove a rubber orthopedic insert from her shoe before beginning the Challenge. According to reports, the insert became dislodged during the attempt and nearly resulted in a choking incident.
Church elders are now advising participants to remove all orthopedic inserts and other loose footwear components before pouring SIN Soda into a shoe.
Sister Ann, meanwhile, appears unconcerned by the controversy surrounding her experiment. Whether she actually succeeded in blessing Original SIN remains a matter for theologians. Whether she enjoyed drinking it from her shoe is considerably less ambiguous.
