[edit]"Sioux City Sarsaparilla" is a song by Children of Bodom's Alexi Laiho from the Finnish Guitar Heroes compilation album.
In the film The Big Lebowski, when the Stranger (Sam Elliott) asks the bowling alley bartender, "You got a good sarsaparilla?", Gary the bartender replies, "Sioux City Sarsaparilla?" to which the Stranger responds, "Yeah, that's a good one." The last line in the movie is the Stranger asking the bartender if he has "any more of that good sarsaparilla".
