My mid-Western grandparents came to Washington State back in the 40', and they always called it "pop". I did too, until I lived in Central PA for a year (and married someone from there), now I call it "soda". Too bad there's no data on folks who call it "soda pop"... ;-) -- J.J. in WA ~ mom, vid gamer, novice cook ~ "I rule you!" - Travis of the Cosmos, ATHF |

The problem is that 1) An increasing number and variety of eateries have umpteen varieties of designer tea -- caffeinated, decaffeinated, herbal, tea and herbal mixtures, etc. 2) The servers I've run into are unable to grasp the concept of what I want unless I ask for "black tea." 3) Every place I'd previously lived, "regular tea" got me what I wanted. Someone who only wanted plain coffee could presumably be able to get it at the places with signs that say "Coffee and espresso". (Or "expresso".) Note: I live _in_ one of the Twin Cities. (Southwest Minneapolis, EHFNA neighborhood -- votes slightly left of San Francisco.) Things could be very different in the suburbs, or in some kinds of suburbs. Note: For a while the Wedge (my organically correct had "East Coast coffee" at their drink counter. I don't recall what was in it; I do recall that I'd never been anywhere on the East Coast where such coffee was served. -- Dan Goodman Journal http://www.livejournal.com/users/dsgood Predictions and Politics http://dsgood.blogspot.com All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.

La Cross and Madison and Wausau -- nobody ever heard of Sloppy Joes that I knew. It was always barbe-que.

In Texas, which is honorary South, it was "coke" for everything at least up through the late 60s, early 70s. "What do you want to drink with that?" "I'll have a coke" "What kind?" The older folks at the time called it "soda pop" or, often, "sody (sic) water". |

I seem to remember seeing a show that said Pekoe with tea referred to
the size of the leaves, pekoe is the term for the more ground up (cheaper) leaves that regular store brands usually use. Thought that was interesting, since I always thought it was a flavor. NYC has its own terms for how you want your coffee. Regular - cream and sugar; Light - extra cream; Black - no cream or sugar. (Anybody know where the "short/tall" that Starbucks and other coffee chains use comes from?) Then there's the submarine sandwich/poor boy/hero/hoagie/torpedo question, ha. We called it a sub, the delis here almost always call it a hero. |

I'm from Illinois, where there seems to be a split, the southern folks
calling it "soda" or sometimes "sody", the Chicago folks calling it "pop". We had an attorney in our law office who told a southern, rural secretary that she was stupid for calling it "sody". She was in tears, and I said to consider the source. She wanted to know what was correct, and I told her that the Chicago area people called it "pop", while the rest of us said "soda" or "sody", and that to be offended at what someone else called it was extremely petty and even ridiculous. I also told her that I was from southern Illinois but spent several years in Chicago, so I called it "soda pop", which everyone understood and offended people equally. As the attorney's supervisor, I had a chat with him about his behavior and suggested he apologise to the secretary, who happened to be our brightest and best and who happened to be very young. And after all that, guess whose work got done in record time by that secretary, and guess whose work got done at the very last minute! |

Damn those cola wars. Personally, I prefer Pepsi. It was interesting to read up on the "New Coke" when it was being discussed here <?> some time ago. A small percentage of the soft drink market means millions and millions of dollars to the pop companies. The Coca Cola company conducted a lot of blind taste tests to determine what people liked. Not surprising to me, what people liked best was Pepsi. So Coke altered it's formula to come up with something that was almost identical to Pepsi. The problem was that they hyped their new product rather than changing it gradually or just doing it quietly. That is understandable because so many people seem to be more affected by advertising than by the product itself. Consumers revolted against the New Coke. They demanded the return of the old Coke. At first it was a marketing disaster. Coca Cola dumped the New Coke and reintroduced "Coke Classic". While the new product bombed, there was a surge in sales of the old product and Coke ended up getting a ton of free publicity. |

It was muskmelon in WI and cantalope in AZ. Isn't it odd that
different locales call the same thing by different names. I always thought it was. Suzan |
