Another favorite pastime of mine: Pissing off people from the Northeastern US by not calling it “soda.”
Wait, what? Is the title saying that ‘soda’ is a northeastern US thing? Because uh, I live in the southwest, and everyone calls it soda here…
IT IS CALLED SODA.
(I might live in Georgia, but my accent is alllll over the East Coast, so. Uh, don’t use me as an example for anyone’s regionalisms.)
I don’t know what you’re all talking about. The stuff is clearly collectively called “soft drinks.”
Oh, come on, that’s such a weaselly way of referring to them! It’s like calling them “carbonated beverages.” Only restaurant menus use that kind of thing! *flails*
