[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 12893, member: 1967"] Pop or soda? That reminds of something that happened in college. As a newly arrived freshman from the great state of New York, I told my roommate from Iowa that I really wanted a soda. Having been there a few days before I arrived, she already knew the layout of Peoria (Illinois) and said she knew where I could get a soda. So she took me to a local ice cream shop and look puzzled when I ordered a Coke. She thought I meant an ice cream soda because she grew up calling carbonated drinks "pop." So I adopted calling carbonated drinks "pop" while I lived in the midwest. Now, down here in Atlanta, everyone just says drink (or coke ~ no matter what you are drinking). And old timers with deep southern accents ask for a "co-cola." ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
