[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 109224, member: 1967"] The soda question was the one that revealed my Yankee upbringing. It's been interesting to see what people in different parts of the country call them. When I went to college in the midwest, My Iowa roommate asked me if I wanted to go get a soda. Thinking that a coke sounded like a good idea, I said yes and off we went. She took me to an ice cream shoppe and was suprised when I just asked for a coke. She said, "I thought you wanted a soda (as in ice cream soda)." I replied, "I am having a soda (as in coke)." Oh, she said, you wanted a pop. We had to work through the regional misunderstanding. Then I moved to the south and found that everyone here calls them coke or "cocola" (as in coca-cola) to be exact.

I think the regional differences are fun to learn about. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
