7. I've never heard soda called 'pop' in the West, though |
|
I have heard persons of Eastern origin call beer 'pop.'
Seems like Midwesterners, who are all mentally disturbed except for my buddy johnnie and any other Middle West DUer who might happen upon this post, like to call fizzy soft drinks 'pop.' I kinda like the southern way (well, one southern way...most I knew, when I lived there and otherwise, called the stuff 'soda') of just calling it all Coke, because it puts an end to all the debate and makes the whole thing as hopelessly obfuscated as it undoubtedly should be. :D
Unless you're in Texas -- at least, in my experience (mmmmm...Tejanas), south-central Texas -- in which case it's Big Red.

12. If you're talking about the "true" west, and excluding the west coast, |
|
very few westerners I know drink pop. Californians stick an umbrella in it and call it something else.

14. In the Massachusetts area, it's tonic. |
|
The mixer is called tonic water and soda means club soda.

16. Yep, I remember when someone offered me a tonic |
|
when I was in seminary. Where I come from, "tonic" is medicine. So, I turned it down. Next thing I know, everyone else is sitting around with pop. So I said, "Could I have something to drink, too?" Answer: But you said you didn't want one.
:crazy:

The first time I ever heard "pop" was when some cousins of mine from Ohio came to stay with us a couple of weeks one summer. I had no clue what the hell they were talking about! :silly: Now I know "pop" means soda, but it still sounds strange to me.
