Someone had to create this eventually, I guess....what people call soft drinks, by county.

Funny, how the area around St. Louis and SE Missouri calls it "soda".

What about "sack" and "bag". We used to call it "sack" in Lawrence but now it seems it is called "bag". How did it change over just 30 years?

Back in the day we just said "grab me a coke", now coke tastes like tar.

I grew up in New Orleans. My family called sweet, carbonated beverages "soft drinks".

"now coke tastes like tar."

When I was in Africa a big Mandingo made me eat mangoes until I was sick then he covered me with tar. It was the best sex ever. I'm sure they heard me in Gibraltar.
