No, soda is carbonated water.
I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

I grew up with "soda" and got laughed at mercilessly in college until I finally (3 semesters later) gave up and started saying "pop". That was more than 20 years ago. My DD went away to camp a couple of years ago and got tortured for calling it "pop".
Best solution? I don't drink soda or pop! Problem solved.
(Oh, since I won't give up cute purses/handbags, my 2cents: "Purse" = either shoulder or hand-bag. Shoulder bag can be worn on shoulder, handbag has to be carried or looped over the arm (not shoulder). Wallet is a wallet is a wallet.)

Yeah. When I first moved from CA to Michigan, I called everything a coke. It just didn't go over well here in the land of pop (pronounced paap here in the midwest). So I had to make the choice between calling it pop or calling it soda. I chose soda...and I'm sticking to it.

Firmly entrenched in "soda" land here ... wondering what "other" would be ... fizzy water?

Maybe "sodapop"
*shrug*
Looks like I'm gonna have to go work out and actually have somethign related to fitness here.
In the end, it hardly matters. I always order 1 of 2 things:
"Whatever you have that is diet" or "unsweet tea."
And yes, I hate having to specify that I don't want slightly tea-flavoured sugarwater.

you can find out state by state -
looks like
"soda pop" and "soft drink" are the top real answers

I bet it scares the snot out of Coke to have their brand name be a generic in 1/3 of the country. That brand is worth a fortune. Think what would happen if they lost that protection and anyone could call their drink a Coke.

PAIN IN THE ASS
So grip was an issue, and straps failed to actually help. Whatever. So they were used for set #2 and then tossed aside.
Obviously, I don't get to bump deads next time. Military press will prolly stay the same as well, since I'm trying to walk the line between strengthening my shoulders and screwing them up again.
So, the pullups (feet on bench) are from the other day's workout I skipped. Skipped sun and mon, this is monday's workout, (pullups from sunday) and was supposed to be a rest day which was yesterday and so tomorrow I'm back to the bench. Yeah, like THAT was understandable. heh.
I really really really really really really really really really really really frickin hate YTWL... they make me want to puke. Always have. Prolly the belly | |
