How do pop machines do this?

[Red Squirrel]

lol how did I know it was going to turn into this?

And lol at people who call soft drink (the proper politically correct term) as coke. Coke is a TYPE of soft drink lol. Crazy people. Guess we all do it with certain products, like people who call facial tissues, Kleenex. Kleenex is just a brand.

I never heard it called pop until I went out to the middle of fucking nowhere NY. Silly New Yorkers.

 

[sygyzy]

Answer:
It's because it rolls on it's side. The reason why it explodes is because of bubbles that form on the sides near the bottom. That's why if you tap the side of the can (all the way around) before opening, it won't explode. When a can rolls down the machine, it's removing all of those bubbles.

There's no way a majority of Portland call soda "pop".

 

[boomerang]

You mean Sheetrock, not drywall.

No, no, no. Sheetrock is something toothless guys wearing wife-beater shirts put on walls. Everyone else uses drywall.

It's pop...and don't forget it or else we will kick General Lee's grave again.

Okay, Mr. Smarty Pants, which one sounds better...

"Man, I really messed up the Xerox machine at work. I was making some copies when I accidentally spilled my Coke all over it. My stupid Styrofoam cup just fell over. It got everywhere. I had to almost take the thing apart to clean all of the Coke off. Of course, all they had in the copy room was a box of Kleenex. I had to use the whole box to wipe off all of the "stickiness". It was so bad, I had to use a Q-Tip to get it all out of every little crevice.

I got so mad that I accidentally broke a part off the Xerox machine off. Naturally, I tried to fix it but I'll be damned if that Scotch Tape wasn't strong enough. I reached for the "big guns" and Super Glue'd the mofo on there. To top it all off, I cut myself fixing the damn thing bad enough that I had to get a Band Aid from the first aid kit. I don't think my boss will be too mad; they didn't fire Sally when she spilled Wite-Out on the fax machine. Guess I'll leave a Post-It note on the machine that says it's "OUT OF ORDER". What a day...at least I'll get some Jell-O with Cool Whip at lunch..."

---OR---

"Man, I really messed up the electronic xerography machine at work. I was making some copies when I accidentally spilled my soda pop all over it. My stupid extruded polystyrene insulating foam cup just fell over. It got everywhere. I had to almost take the thing apart to clean all of the soda pop off. Of course, all they had in the copy room was a box of soft facial tissues. I had to use the whole box to wipe off all of the "stickiness". It was so bad, I had to use a cotton swab applicator to get it all out of every little crevice.

I got so mad that I accidentally broke a part off the electronic xerography machine off. Naturally, I tried to fix it but I'll be damned if that cellophane adhesive tape wasn't strong enough. I reached for the "big guns" and cyanoacrylate adhesive'd the mofo on there. To top it all off, I cut myself fixing the dang thing bad enough that I had to get a plastic adhesive bandage strip from the first aid kit. I don't think my boss will be too mad; they didn't fire Sally when she spilled typographical correction fluid on the fax machine. Guess I'll leave a self-stick removable reminder label on the machine that says it's "OUT OF ORDER". What a day...at least I'll get some fruit flavored gelatin with pre-whipped cream topping at lunch..."


Eponyms...you use them, too.

Err, here's how I'd say it:

"Man, I really messed up the photocopier work. I was making some copies when I accidentally spilled my Coke all over it. My stupid foam cup just fell over. It got everywhere. I had to almost take the thing apart to clean all of the Coke off. Of course, all they had in the copy room was a box of tissues. I had to use the whole box to wipe off all of the "stickiness". It was so bad, I had to use a cotton bud to get it all out of every little crevice.

I got so mad that I accidentally broke a part off the photocopier machine off. Naturally, I tried to fix it but I'll be damned if that Cellotape wasn't strong enough. I reached for the "big guns" and glued the mofo on there. To top it all off, I cut myself fixing the damn thing bad enough that I had to get a Band Aid from the first aid kit. I don't think my boss will be too mad; they didn't fire Sally when she spilled Twink on the fax machine. Guess I'll leave a Post-It note on the machine that says it's "OUT OF ORDER". What a day...at least I'll get some jelly with cream at lunch..."

It's more than a little funny that you're arrogant enough to believe that your eponyms are more acceptable or "better" sounding than someone else's.

Haha yeah it's crazy how lot of brand names have become the "proper" terms now. Don't think I've ever heard someone say a electronic xerography machine.

 

[dbk]

it's soda... not pop

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Thank god you were here to let us know.

What do you guys in New Zealand call it?

Yeah.....I'll give you that one....it's a bit of a stretch.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

What do you guys in New Zealand call it?

You know I don't think there is a really common generic name, people usually call it by it's proper name (Sprite if it's Sprite, Fanta if it's Fanta, etc), though "soft drink" would be the most common in generic terms.

 

[Strk]

Didn't Mythbusters do a thing on this? Well, not the machine part, but reducing the spillover.
