Soda or Pop ???

[CheckRaise]

Up here in the northland we call it pop. That's pretty odd that you guys just call it coke.

If I want a Coke, I say "Coke."

If I want a Pepsi, I say "Pepsi."

If I want a Dr Pepper, I say "Dr Pepper."

etc, etc, etc.

But what if you want to say, "I wonder what type of _____ they have." Would you say Soda or Pop? Obviously, saying "I wonder what type of Mr. Pibb they have" doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I say soda, btw.

My life is too fast paced for a waitress to rattle off the soda types.

"Can I get a Dr Pepper?"

"We don't have Dr. Pepper."

"Mr Pibb?"

"Nope."

"Sprite?"

"Nope."

"Mountain Dew?"

"Nope."

"Big Red?"

"Nope."

*Pause*

"Water."

My girlfriend says pop. Everytime she does, I feel like punching her in the mouth. But if I did that, I wouldn't really be able to make out with her because her mouth would be all bloody.

So...I guess what I'm trying to say is, soda.

I'll bet you grew up east of Centre County, and are excited about January 3.

BTW, did you hear anything about Dan Connor being suspended/inactive for the game?

If you are interested in this type of stuff, look here. Check it out, its really neat. Scroll down do the 60s+ and it gets more interesting.

Since your name is "IlliniLou" and your loc is "University of Illinois" you really should be calling it pop.

Yeah, I hate when people say "What kind of Coke do you want" or "What flavor of Coke do you want?"

Say soda you tool! Even pop is acceptable.

I'm convinced that these people are mildly retarded.
