from the old school always heard " get yourself a pop out of the frig" and it did not mean the small brown bottles of Busch Bavarian beer either.. I tried that stunt, didn't make it to my lips even
I call it soda pop. When I was too young to open the fridge myself, my stepfather gave me beer. For a long time my favorite was Blatz. I just liked the name. And I think it might have been the brand I was raised on.
Diet Dr. Pepper is my soda of choice. I'd much rather have a soda out than a soda at home too. There's something about the fountain fizziness and crushed ice that makes it even better.

Soda. Everytime someone says "pop", I always see what I expect: someone old! I'm a mountain dew freak, yellow and red...
Soda. Pop is someone's Dad. Coke is something you snort when you have too much money and not enough brains.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Skwyre7 @ Apr 24 2007, 08:44 PM) [snapback]429450[/snapback]</div> That is what I will say if I don't say "coke" or call it by name.
Oh yeah, I forgot to add that my grandfather, who I ironically have called "Pop" ever since I could talk, calls it soda water....

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mystery Squid @ Apr 24 2007, 08:50 PM) [snapback]429409[/snapback]</div> I said soda when I lived back east, and picked up pop in the west. Now you tell me I said soda when I was young, say pop because I'm old? Crap. Busted. <_< Whatever, Royal Crown Cola ruled.

Just flavored corn syrup (not even old-fashioned cane sugar any more) and chemical brews that make modified corn starch look like food. Read a food label in the store. It's hard to find anything that actually has food in it any more, except in the produce aisle or the canned and frozen vegetable aisles. A good rule (which I don't follow myself) is never eat anything you cannot pronounce, or anything with more than one kind of sweetener (they use multiple types to disguise the fact that sweeteners compose 3/4 of the total calories of the product).
