aem4162 Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Originally posted by RaymondAngel I live in Indiana. We back hill folk call it Pop sometimes. However, I try not to let the world of Indiana change my brain functions so I usually say soda. I slip up sometimes. Now to convince my friends and family to say soda. Actually, soda and pop are regional. Here in Ohio it's POP. NO ONE says soda. BUT in Pennsylvania it's SODA. My mom's from PA and so we grew up saying soda instead of pop. People can't stand that around here. So I say SODA as much as possible. ;) :D:D:D:D anita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronPrometheus Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I know someone who has a collection of Episode I cans sitting on his window sill. I wonder if it got really really hot in your closet during the summer and a chemical reaction occured... Why are you keeping unopened soda in your closet anyways? That's pretty bad, I'm gonna hafta tell the guys at work about that one. In the break room almost everybody gets coke from the vending machine so that might pique someone's interest :). Does anybody know the list of active ingredients on Coke? I wonder how many of them are affected by heat or long term dormancy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=NickJ= Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 well al UKers are alcoholics, so drinking coke is the exception :D lol "You want something non-alcoholic?" "Yeh cheers i'll have a *insert fizzy drink name here*" c it works :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icie Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 australia too... in fact, in some pubs, when a group of friends need someone sober to drive them home after drinking the night away (and someone to puke all over), the pub provides free coke for the person -- as much as they can drink.

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 28, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2002 sorry, this is US only, but it's kinda funny: http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~almccon/pop_soda/ btw, i'd think that was pretty cool and probably would end up dead! :D Science is cool! :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 The fact that someone would go to all the trouble of collating that is scarey:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortensen Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 we just call them fizzy drinks LOL It's true... we don't have 'soda' or 'pop', instead we have 'fizzy drinks'. And we don't have 'candy' either... we have 'sweets' or 'chocolate', but never candy. Anyway, I hate the term 'soda' and 'pop', but also think 'fizzy drinks' is too lame to describe it as well.

Toxicfume Veteran Posted April 28, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2002 over here in thailand, when speaking in english, we usually just call the name of the drinks, which i beleive is easier than calling them 'soda' or 'pop' or 'soda pop' or 'fizzy drinks' or 'soft drinks' :p we do ocasionsally call it 'soft drinks' tho, but not as much as the name of the drink itself...if you would like a pepsi, coke, sprite..you just go, could i have a coke/pepsi/sprite? /me likes coke.

RaisinCain Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Originally posted by Anormal HAHA sucks to be u...maybe soda dont like u....and its soda...not pop ;) Actually, it is Soda Pop. The phrase coined when the product first emerged. So, either is correct. Soda/Pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I'm sure I remember leaving a tooth in a glass of coke overnight when i was at school, and at the next lesson, it was really corroded and black. Pretty concerning though! fwiw, I think pop+soda sound kinda lame, but 'fizzy drinks' does as well. We call it 'coke or something'. "do u want a coke or sumfin". thats about it. never drink the stuff though, just coffee. Unless I'm in a club, then i drink nothing but bacardi + coke. Mmmm.

RaymondAngel Posted April 29, 2002 Author Share Posted April 29, 2002 Yeah we did that as well. Kind of freaky, Coke is more corrosive then Pepsi. I remember my dad telling me once you can poor it on car batteries to clean the conductants or something like that.

Borg77 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Originally posted by RaymondAngel OMG I just found out what happens when you save soda pop to long. I had these collector cans from Star Wars Episode I. I have been savibng them in my closet on top of these other collectibles. Anyways I look in today and the pop actually turned into acid ate through the can and leaked all over, then the pop is eating through a bunch of cardboard and making a hissing noise. So I goto throw the cans away when I pick them up they smell like battery acid. And they started eating into the garbage bag! Nothing better then having acid spill on ur collectibles and nearly destroy some of them worth a ton o money. :dead: And about two-thirds of the people who inhabit this planet drink soda that contains acid which makes you wonder doesn't it.
