The pop* machine was out of Diet Mountain Dew today.
Do you have any idea how much that fucks with the fabric of my exsistance?
*Yes, here in the midwest it's "pop." Are you more comfortable with "soda," perhaps?

Granted, There is a Walgreens Across the Street Where I Could Have Gotten One, But It's COLD Out.

LOL! in my midwest, i call it soda. but i got in the habit a long time ago when i dated a guy from the east coast for 5 years.
Pop or soda, who cares, I just like the it when you cus.
Pop, Soda, Mountain Dew -- Soft drink.. or simply Drink...
All good for me ;)
Liquid Candy - or, bubblegum in a can, or liquid sugar - or alien green-like substance? or caffeine in a can.. ;)
AMG -Hmmm, looking to make it an orphan blog huh?
Neo grins.
Alot of people let their blogs go and never come back. It's really sad to read them. Just like tombstones on the net.
Neo laughs
Peace!
In Canada we call it pop.
Actually, I was a pop junkie until last April when I quit cold turkey. Haven't had a regular or diet pop since. Tough for the first few weeks, but now I'm cruising along nicely. (If you ever think of quitting -- not that you need to -- and you need a 'pop sponsor', like in AA, let me know. The temptation IS everywhere, I have to admit...)
I buy my Diet Dew in two liters by those little eight-bottle trays. Usually sixteen bottles at a time.
And yeah, it's pop. And a life necessity.
I live on the East Coast but in Pittsburgh we have an entirely differenet lingo... pop(soda), gum bands(rubber bands), hoagies(subs), sprinkles(jimmies). There are others but I really don't feel like subjecting myself to the snickers and the "what the fuck are you talking abouts."
If you ever come to Texas, please avoid saying "pop" for soda. My ex was from Indianapolis and that's the first thing we had to work on.
The second thing was me saying "coke" instead of soda. As in "do you want a coke?" "Yeah" "What do you want?" "Dr Pepper"
In retrospect, that might have been what broke us up
God knows, it wasn't anything I did
;)
Yeah, it's a pop machine in Indiana also. Do people really say soda machine? That just doesn't sound right!
I hope you got your POP today! If I was your AMBF you would never go without...
Hmmmm I have always used pop, but then I grew up playing "Duck, Duck, Grey Duck" - I have no idea what people are talking about when they say "Duck, Duck, Goose."
I call it pop, and you put your groceries in a bag, not a sack, and it's water fountain, not a bubbler...
I call it Pop, but that's only because my imported spouse doesn't answer to "Coke" (blame Canada). In Texas, it's "Coke". It's ALL "coke". And thus, "coke machine".
A: Want a coke?
B: Sure!
A: What kind?
B: Pepsi...
When I was in court I was confused because they kept saying I did something. It wasn't until later my lawyer told me what it meant. I didn't understand because I always said "non-consensual sex" instead. Boy, was I embarrased.
Soda? Isn't that the white powder in the little box you put int he refrigerator to make it smell nice? :-P
In St. Louis it is called soda. And if my geography is right, St. Louis is centralized in the Midwest. So STL would be kind of like the average of all the midwest. Pop is not acceptable. I hear they call all soda/pop, coke in Atlanta.
Iowa. Pop. Fer shur... ;)
In Louisville, KY it was a "coke machine", as gadfly said. Every carbonated beverage was called "coke". I now live in Las Vegas, where it's "soda" but I stubbornly say "coke" no matter what.
IT IS POP.
Just wanted to make that clear for the fanbase here.
