But, Squirt isn't even lemon-lime, it's grapefruit!Also calling all lemon/lime soda "squirt" was one thing I had the get used to.
OK, you have friends over, and there are many different types of beer and soft drinks in your refrigerator. "Would you like a beer? you ask. "Sure," is the response. "Well, we have Bud, Miller and Coors. Which would you like?" Instead of "would you like a beer," how would you offer a soft drink? What word would you use? "Would you like a _____?"Out in the jersey/NYC we call the sodas by their names, not a general term.
Same here. Or, if you ask a server for a coke, they may say, "All we have is Pepsi, would that be OK?" (To which I'll immediately change my drink selection! j/k ) But, what if you just asked for a pop?Even in restaurants when you order a sprite, the server will always say ok we have sprite or we have sierra mist or 7 up is that ok.
Yeah, it's one of those strange regional things that are more apparent to those that travel a lot.I never really thought about it till now.
Ah yes, Radar O'Reilly and his Grape Nehis!Btw has anyone ever had a Nehi soda/pop. I remember those when I was a kid.
