I used to call pop "Coke" when I was a kid, until I realized that "Coke" was an evil corporation, bent on destroying teeth and establishing a one-world religion based on singing, drinking, and camaraderie.
 
I don't know if Schnuck's Grocery is just a local grocery store or if there's more around the country, but I picked up a 12-pack of A&W Cream Soda and Dr. Pepper for $1.80 plus deposit each($2.40 total on each 12-pack). Can't beat the price for name-brand soda (normal price is usually ~$3 plus deposit).
 
For those who don't know (I didn't know a while ago), pop is soda. Pop is a more common name for soda down south/west. North/east coast you really never hear soda being reguarded as pop. FYI

Do you also call Band-Aids adhessive bandages? and Channel-Locks tongue-in-groove pliers?
 
meh yea delussional hippies have a weird idea that natural = good. spoiled by science they are. we don't die from the curses of nature as often these days thanks to medical science. people easily forget how many children died in the past due to desease or whatever. they had to have large families...look at abe lincoln..half his children died😛 mother nature doesn't have the best interests of humanity as any priority at all. science and reason tell us mother nature is indfferent.

diet soda is a good thing. empty calories are bad. certain lab mice are bred so they very easily become cancerous.. thats the point. u could probably feed them mega ultra doses of anything and ggive them cancer. theres no conspiracy here.

anyways...only 4 pks for 11bucks here. so damn regional
 
Here in RI/Mass 4 - 12 packs of Pepsi products for $10, 3 - 11oz bags of Lays products for $5, $5 off at register and $10 mail in rebate= just pay tax 🙂

What is that? I know I could Google but thought I would get a more exciting answer from you.
 
Good thing I'm not addicted to regular soda anymore, it's amazing how sweet it really tastes after you stop drinking it for a month. No more sugar laden drinks for me.

Now I have to have coffee everyday to cure my caffeine crave 😛

 
well a better regional deal is one at albertsons. 4 doritos + 4 12 packs of pepsi etc for 20 bucks. free after 20 dollar rebate. atleast in bay area ..sanjose/milpitas area

Nope, but I would tell you to get the Kleenex out of your left hand while reading your free subscription of Cosmo.

Oh, and Channel-Locks are generically known as slip-joint pliers. I haven't a clue what your tongue-in-groove pliers would look like. (Possibly something like a speculum, I'd wager. 😱 )

Back on topic, Diet Rite was on sale for $2.49 in my local Target, marked down from a regular (and horribly expensive) $4.09.
 
Stevia is the most unhealthy sweetner you could use, a bit toxic, believed to cause cancer, and also causes reproductive problems. But because it's all natural some people think it must be healthy. Don't forget botulism is all natural also.
 
Anyone ambitious enough to look up that recent study (pretty sure I heard this from a reasonably legitimate source, MD on a talk radio show or one of the big weekly news mags) that showed that diet soda surprisingly had a paradoxical effect w.r.t. weight loss as compared to non-diet soda? It had something to do with tricking the body to crave more calories.

As far as what it's called, one of the funniest conversations I ever heard was when I was in grad school at Va. Tech. and went like this (I'm originally from the northeast and didn't know Southerners used the work 'Coke' as a generic reference to soda/pop).

Secretary 1: I'm going down to the machines. Do you want me to get you anything?

Secretary 2: Yeah, would you get me a coke?

Secretary 1: Sure, what kind?

Secretary 2: Root beer.

Now, that's a cool word! I could say it all day!! Schnuck's Schnuck's Schnuck's Schnuck's Schnuck's Schnuck's.....

Soda is "pop" in the Midwest. Anyone remember the "Pop Shop" with Clint Hurdle as their spokesman when he played for the KC Royals?

A couch is a "Davenport" to some older people or a "sooofa" in the North (Minnesoooooota and the like).

I'll start paying attention to crackpot theories when true scientists, people with "real" PhD's, warn me about them. Anybody who has been to college would understand that there is no concerted effort to keep information secret ("information 'they' don't want you to know!") -- quite the opposite, in fact. There is an overwhelming pressure across all academic sciences to find little niches of new exploration.

Whatever.

I gotta take off and go to my Intelligent Design class now.
