whats it made with?
Soda water. (carbonated water)
what is pop?
a noise that has no associate w/ soft drinks whatsoever.
if anything, you mid westerners should call it "fizz" or something more appropriate. |
As I understand it, "pop" is actually short for "sodapop".
We just call it "soft drink" over here, as opposed to "hard" drinks (i.e alcohol). Kind of stupid really.
I call bull on that map, the guy can't even spell "respondents".
What kind of self-respecting institution would fund research into this kind of crap anyway?
Also, the map looks like it was drawn in Ms Paint. |

No no I get it, I hear people say that all the time.
"lemme grab a sprite, lemme grab a moutain dew, lemme grab a pepsi" sounds pretty ok with me, though.
must be a states thing, because here we call things by what they actually are. |
