1. When I lived in Ohio I said PoP - when I moved east
noone knew what I was talking about so I now say Soda.

5. Can't vote. Where I'm from originally (south) it is "Coke"
"Pop" and "soda" both sound weird to me.

6. I was raised in Idaho
And here we flip flop between pop and soda. I can say both in the same breath.

If you say "Coke", however, you will be recieving a Coca-Cola.

7. Love your Photo and a little story about it
Edited on Sun Oct-31-04 03:22 PM by StClone
I was there and the teenage girl to the (our) right of Kerry was absolutely crazy about him. She stood by us in the back then wrangled a ticket to the section in front of Kerry, then viola she was on stage. It must of been her dream come true. She is the girl in the extreme corner by herself on JFK's left.

11. "SODA! Goes the Weasel" just doesn't make sense to me.
Ever notice that?

14. Soda for christ sakes
BTW glad to see people are voting common sense instead of lack of. Soda not pop, I don't drink fathers, and pop is not only absurd it is outright wrong.
